how to use listview ?

[madasraka]

i have a

$ListView = GUICtrlCreateListView ("Name | Exe| Cmd| State| Flag",100,170,290,400)

in my GUI and i wonder how to have it display things.

I tried to mess with guictrlsetdata but that didnt get me far enough.

I will have multiple objects in this listview and i cant figure out how to display one.

Mauybe listview is not something i need ? Maybe there is something else i can use instead ?

Can you guys give me simple example that i can understand with my low level of autoit knowledge ?

Thanks in advance.

Here is what i work on

expandcollapse popup

#Include <Misc.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#Region to figure out if script runs more then once.
$Compiled = "Service Maker.exe"
$ScriptFileName = FileExists (@ScriptDir & "\" & $Compiled)
If $ScriptFileName = 0 Then
   MsgBox(16,"Error", 'This is not original file name. Please rename this file back to ' &@CRLF &  '"' & $Compiled & '"')
   ;Exit
   EndIf
if _Singleton($Compiled,1) = 0 Then
    Msgbox(0,"Information.","Only one instance is allowed.")
    Exit
EndIf
#EndRegion

I also had a question on how to create new variables.

for example once i or you help me to figure out how to display things in listview then how would i go about showing multiple once ?

My scripts will (i hope one day) add objects to listview and display if any from .ini file but how would i display then if i dont know how many and what the key name is in the .ini file ?

Thanks for that one too

Have a look at GUICtrlCreateListViewItem to add data to a listview.
