Default exStyle value for wrapping CreateListView

[Michael.Curley]

While creating a UDF to wrap around GuiCtrlCreateListView and GuiCtrlCreateListViewItem.

GuiCtrlCreateListViewFromArray($ArrayIn, $Left, $Top, $Width = "", $Height = "", $Style = "", $exStyle = "")

To create a listview fully populate by a 2 dimensional array, I have run into a problem passing $exStyle when it is undefined at Func GuiCtrlCreateListViewFromArray() calling. as below...

$ArrayOut[0] = GUICtrlCreateListView($TempStr, $Left, $Top, $Width, $Height, $Style, $exStyle)

The list view it creates has no border, and when the GUI is not "on top" it has a tendency to disappear until one clicks somewhere on it, and then it only "partially"

I tried putting the below in to correct it.

If $Style = "" Then $Style = $GUI_SS_DEFAULT_LISTVIEW
If $exStyle = "" Then $exStyle = 0

But it had little to no impact because I could not find a constant to reference for exStyle....

I changed the creation code to read

$ArrayOut[0] = GUICtrlCreateListView($TempStr, $Left, $Top, $Width, $Height, $Style);, $exStyle)

And it now draws a stable listview with the appropiate borders and whatnot... but I would like the UDF to be able to accept and use extended styles, just in case anyone ever wants to use it.

Any ideas on what the default extended style is (should be), or did I just miss the constant for it?

default exstyle is WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE | LVS_EX_FULLROWSELECT

I hope that's answer your question

Yup! That worked perfectly. Here is the final code for the func

Thanks for the help. I will post the final udf to the scrips and scraps forum.

default exstyle is WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE | LVS_EX_FULLROWSELECT

It is unfortunate that the AutoIt help doesn't tell us the forced and default exStyles.

My testing suggests that LVS_EX_FULLROWSELECT is forced, rather than default. Am I correct?
