GUICtrlSetOnEvent - passing parameter in function call

[dinodod]

_SQLite_Open (@scriptdir & "\database\tgh.db")

                local $hQuery, $sMsg
                global $Arow
                _SQlite_Query (-1, "Select * from PcInfo;", $hQuery) ; the query
                        While _SQLite_FetchData ($hQuery, $aRow) = $SQLITE_OK
                            $PCName1 = GUICtrlCreateListViewItem($aRow[1] & "|" & $aRow[2], $listview)

                                $contextmenu1 = GUICtrlCreateContextMenu($PCName1)
                                $infoitem1 = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Ping " & $aRow[1], $contextmenu1)
                                            GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1, "_PingPC")
                        WEnd

                GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

The problem I am having is that I can't seem to pass a variable in the command --> GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1, "_PingPC($aRow[1])") Am I missing something? In short I have a listview that lists x number of devices and I am trying to create a Rightclick function which will allow me to ping the PC I selected.

Thanks!

If $aRow is already a global variable why do you even need to pass it in with the guictrlsetonevent? Can't you just call it within the next function? Personally I've always found ways around passing info into functions like this, instead just dedicate a global variable to it and call it when needed within the function. PS Im not 100% sure about this, however the problem might also be that $aRow is an array.

you are correct that it is a global variable but i need to pass the correct one to the function. what happens if i don't is that i get an out of range subscript error.

To get the size of the array just use the UBound function. With that you can avoid going beyond the arrays dimensions. However I did a bit more digging and found a udf made by martin that could work wonders for you.

functions with parameters in OnEvent and HotKeys UDF with simple example

This should help tremendously, though I wish I had it about 6 months ago. Making workarounds for these situations can be very difficult.

So close. Thanks for the reference but the script doesn't pull the info correctly when I use the following code:

I tried paramByRef for the array and nothing, not sure if I can use it with a Menu Item or not???

$infoitem1 = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Ping " & $aRow[1], $contextmenu1)
SetOnEventA($infoitem1, "funcone", $paramByVal, "$aRow[1]");, $paramByVal, 2, $paramByVal, 37, $paramByVal, "battery", $paramByVal, "parm5")
