CreateListViewItem from another window?

[james3mg]

I've been working on a very complex GUI script where one of the features does not work. I wrote the simplest abstraction of the same task in another script and confirmed that it still doesn't work-there's nothing hiding in the complexity of the original script. Here is a copy of the simplified script: (also attached)

[start of Script]

#include <GuiConstants.au3>

;******MainWin and Control Creation******

Global $MainWin=GUICreate("Main Window","200","200");

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW,$MainWin)

Global $NumberList=GUICtrlCreateListView("Type|Number",5,5,190,150,$LVS_NOSORTHEADER+$LVS_SHOWSELALWAYS)

Global $Button=GUICtrlCreateButton("Button",5,160)

;******SubWin and Control Creation******

Global $SubWin=GUICreate("Sub Window","200","100",-1,-1,-1,$WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW,$MainWin);

Global $SubButton=GUICtrlCreateButton("Button2",5,5)

;****Event Control Section****

While 1

$msg=GUIGetMsg(1)

Select

Case $msg[0]=$GUI_EVENT_CLOSE AND $msg[1]=$MainWin

ExitLoop

Case $msg[0]=$GUI_EVENT_CLOSE AND $msg[1]=$SubWin

GUISetState(@SW_HIDE,$SubWin)

Case $msg[0]=$Button

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW,$SubWin)

Case $msg[0]=$SubButton

$StatusVar=GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("New|Data",$NumberList)

MsgBox(0,"Data",$StatusVar)

EndSelect

Wend

[End of script]

What this should do is, when you click the button on the sub-window, it creates a listviewitem in the listview element of the main window and alerts you with the control number (or 0 if an error-see autoit documentation). however, it always returns 0-an error in creating the control. Why doesn't this work? The listview name is a global variable, so it should be recognized throughout the script. Is it not possible to create a listview item from another window in the same script?

Thanks

Never fails...as soon as you post, you figure it out.

I added the command GUISwitch($MainWin) just above creating the ListViewItem, and it worked like a charm. Tried it in the actual script I'm working on, and it works as well.

Stupid, sorry

Have a good one

in fact the beta version works now without the GuiSwitch
