Sjov2200 Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 (edited) Hi, I am trying to make a listbox (I tried with Koda, but failed miserably) which displays content of an array, with the possibility to change the data directly. Like: a,1, , ,comment about line 1 a,0,1200, ,comment about line 2 b,10, ,comment about line 3 So my array should hold (one letter, a number, a number, text max 254) for x number of lines. I am finding the coupling between the GUI controls and the array difficult. My GUI should look something like this Letter__#_____number____Comment ------------------------------------------------------------ A______1______0________bla bla bla B______2______10_______more bla bla F______12_____0________even more bla Y______3______1200_____more bla bla G______1______0________bla bla - - - - <-- new lines to array here Edited November 18, 2009 by Sjov2200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Melba23 Posted November 18, 2009 Moderators Share Posted November 18, 2009 Sjov2200,First, welcome to the AutoIt forums. When you post here it always helps if you include the code you have been working on to try and solve your problem. Having some code to work on is a great help - and no-one here is too keen to help the "code it for me" brigade.Reading the Help file (at least the first few sections - Using AutoIt, Tutorials and the first couple of References) will help you enormously. You should also look at the excellent tutorials that you will find here and here. There are even video tutorials on YouTube if you prefer watching to reading.But as it can be difficult to get started, take a look at this and see if it is close to your needs: expandcollapse popup#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> #Include <GuiListView.au3> ; Create initial data array Global $aArray[5][4] = [["A", 1, 0, "bla bla bla"], ["B", 2, 10, "more bla bla"], ["F", 12, 0, "even more bla"], _ ["Y", 3, 1200, "more bla bla"], ["G", 1, 0, "bla bla"]] Global $hEdit[4] ; Create GUI $hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 500, 500) ; Create edits $hEdit[0] = GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 10, 30, 30, 20, $WS_TABSTOP) $hEdit[1] = GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 40, 30, 30, 20, $WS_TABSTOP) $hEdit[2] = GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 70, 30, 70, 20, $WS_TABSTOP) $hEdit[3] = GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 140, 30, 350, 20, $WS_TABSTOP) ; Create buttons $hAmend_Button = GUICtrlCreateButton("Amend", 10, 60, 80, 30) $hAdd_Button = GUICtrlCreateButton("Add", 100, 60, 80, 30) $hDelete_Button = GUICtrlCreateButton("Delete", 190, 60, 80, 30) ; Create listview $hListView = GUICtrlCreateListView("Letter|#|Number|Comment", 10, 100, 480, 380) ; Set col width _GUICtrlListView_SetColumnWidth(-1, 0, 30) _GUICtrlListView_SetColumnWidth(-1, 1, 30) _GUICtrlListView_SetColumnWidth(-1, 2, 70) _GUICtrlListView_SetColumnWidth(-1, 3, 350) ; Add data to array _GUICtrlListView_AddArray($hListView, $aArray) GUISetState() ; Set selection variable $iIndex = "" $iCurr_Index= "" While 1 Switch GUIGetMsg() Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Exit Case $hAmend_Button ; Check we have a selection If $iIndex <> "" Then ; Change the data in the array For $i = 0 To 3 $aArray[$iIndex][$i] = GUICtrlRead($hEdit[$i]) Next ; Reset the listview data _GUICtrlListView_DeleteAllItems(GUICtrlGetHandle($hListView)) _GUICtrlListView_AddArray($hListView, $aArray) EndIf Case $hAdd_Button ; Add to size of array $iNewDimension = UBound($aArray) + 1 ReDim $aArray[$iNewDimension][4] ; Add new data to array For $i = 0 To 3 $aArray[$iNewDimension - 1][$i] = GUICtrlRead($hEdit[$i]) Next ; Reset the listview data _GUICtrlListView_DeleteAllItems(GUICtrlGetHandle($hListView)) _GUICtrlListView_AddArray($hListView, $aArray) Case $hDelete_Button ; Check we have a selection If $iIndex <> "" Then ; Move up other rows For $j = $iIndex To UBound($aArray) - 2 For $i = 0 To 3 $aArray[$j][$i] = $aArray[$j + 1][$i] Next Next ; Reduce array size ReDim $aArray[UBound($aArray) - 1 ][4] ; Reset the listview data _GUICtrlListView_DeleteAllItems(GUICtrlGetHandle($hListView)) _GUICtrlListView_AddArray($hListView, $aArray) EndIf EndSwitch ; Determine current selected item and transfer data to the edits $iIndex = _GUICtrlListView_GetSelectedIndices($hListView, False) ; Check it is a new index to prevent flicker If $iIndex <> $iCurr_Index Then For $i = 0 To 3 GUICtrlSetData($hEdit[$i], $aArray[$iIndex][$i]) Next $iCurr_Index = $iIndex EndIf WEndI think the comments are clear enough, but do ask if there is anything you do not understand.M23 Any of my own code posted anywhere on the forum is available for use by others without any restriction of any kind Open spoiler to see my UDFs: Spoiler ArrayMultiColSort ---- Sort arrays on multiple columnsChooseFileFolder ---- Single and multiple selections from specified path treeview listingDate_Time_Convert -- Easily convert date/time formats, including the language usedExtMsgBox --------- A highly customisable replacement for MsgBoxGUIExtender -------- Extend and retract multiple sections within a GUIGUIFrame ---------- Subdivide GUIs into many adjustable framesGUIListViewEx ------- Insert, delete, move, drag, sort, edit and colour ListView itemsGUITreeViewEx ------ Check/clear parent and child checkboxes in a TreeViewMarquee ----------- Scrolling tickertape GUIsNoFocusLines ------- Remove the dotted focus lines from buttons, sliders, radios and checkboxesNotify ------------- Small notifications on the edge of the displayScrollbars ----------Automatically sized scrollbars with a single commandStringSize ---------- Automatically size controls to fit textToast -------------- Small GUIs which pop out of the notification area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M23 Hey! Thx man... I will try it out as soon as I get home :-). Ye' sorry for not posting the things that I've tried, but I was'nt really anywhere near a solution, so I think posting would have confused matters more then benefitted ^^. I did try out some examples under help, but I found it hard to grasp the function of the different Gui ctrl's ...

M23So, my proggie works fine, listbox updates are working, I have added a column to the array and the listbox no problem there.My next development is saving / loading the arrays and I found an earlier post using the Save_Array command, I will be looking into that.I was trying my own version with loops, comma seperation and fileread and it works fine. Only sometimes Filegetsize returns the wrong size of the file?!? It happens when I load once and then I load the same file. Filegetsize returns the wrong size and my loop is out of bounds of course... Edited November 26, 2009 by Sjov2200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Melba23 Posted November 26, 2009 Moderators Share Posted November 26, 2009 Sjov2200,It is obvious that your problem is line 5628. Seriously, if you do not post the code, how are we expected to offer suggestions on what might be wrong. My crystal ball is having an off-day! However, the best way to save/load arrays into/from files is to use the _FileReadToArray and _FileWriteFromArray functions. They are easy to use and do all the work for you! Just look them up in the Help file - then you can forget about FileGetSize etc. M23 Any of my own code posted anywhere on the forum is available for use by others without any restriction of any kind Open spoiler to see my UDFs: Spoiler ArrayMultiColSort ---- Sort arrays on multiple columnsChooseFileFolder ---- Single and multiple selections from specified path treeview listingDate_Time_Convert -- Easily convert date/time formats, including the language usedExtMsgBox --------- A highly customisable replacement for MsgBoxGUIExtender -------- Extend and retract multiple sections within a GUIGUIFrame ---------- Subdivide GUIs into many adjustable framesGUIListViewEx ------- Insert, delete, move, drag, sort, edit and colour ListView itemsGUITreeViewEx ------ Check/clear parent and child checkboxes in a TreeViewMarquee ----------- Scrolling tickertape GUIsNoFocusLines ------- Remove the dotted focus lines from buttons, sliders, radios and checkboxesNotify ------------- Small notifications on the edge of the displayScrollbars ----------Automatically sized scrollbars with a single commandStringSize ---------- Automatically size controls to fit textToast -------------- Small GUIs which pop out of the notification area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
