jazzyjeff Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Hello,I have been tasked to create a little app that will allow students to install software that we specify. The installation part works fine, but the part I am having problems with is determining the current versio installed.I am using WMI to scan the PC for the current version of specified apps, and this also works. It populates the correct column with the current software version.The problem is that this scan takes a little while, and I have the check performed at the started of the script, so when the user runs the exe it appears that nothing is happening and then all of a sudden the GUI appears. I have tried opening the GUI first and then run the WMI check, but it never populates the column. I have to perform the check before the GUI appears. I am thinking there must be a way to refresh the columns, but I couldn't get it to work.I saw the function _GUICtrlListView_BeginUpdate, but I couldn't get this to work. If someone can offer some help, it would be appreciated. My code is below.

BrewManNH Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Try adding this to let them know it's doing something when they start the program. Customize as you see fit.: (see the lines marked <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< below) Global $SplashScreen = GUICreate("", 200, 100, -1, -1, $WS_POPUP) ; <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Global $SplashLabel = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Searching...", 20, 20, 150, 50) ; <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 20, 800) ;<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< GUISetState() ; <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< _AdobeFlashChk() _AdobeReaderChk() GuiDelete($SplashScreen) ; <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< This pops up a screen letting them know that the program has started, depending upon the speed of the search this may only be up for a second, but at least it gives an indication that it's running. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

jazzyjeff Posted November 10, 2010 Author Share Posted November 10, 2010 I tried this as a workaround too, but it would never launch the other screen. It's like it was stuck on the first window. I got the same idea working in another script. Really though it's not what I am looking for, so I wasn't planning on spending much time getting it to work. I am really hoping for a refresh of the listview. It seems like it should be possible, I just haven't found a way to do it. Thanks for the idea.

jazzyjeff Posted November 10, 2010 Author Share Posted November 10, 2010 Hey you know what, I figured this out! Here is what I did: GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) _AdobeFlashChk() _AdobeReaderChk() _GUICtrlListView_AddSubItem($listSoftware, 0, $oAdobeFlash,1) _GUICtrlListView_AddSubItem($listSoftware, 1, $oAdobeReader,1) After the GUI was loaded, I then ran the WMI check and then reloaded the software versions in the listview. Problem solved! Thanks taking a look at this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
