Random Listbox error...

[Newb]

Hi all,

This is what i get

With this code

#include <GuiListBox.au3>
$GuiPrincipale = GUICreate("New Gui", 802, 617, 156, 96)
GUICtrlCreateGroup("Features", 16, 512, 273, 57)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 8, 400, 0, "Arial")
$Checkbox2 = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("actions", 24, 536, 161, 17)
$List = GUICtrlCreateList("", 184, 528, 97, 34)
GUICtrlSetData(-1, "1-5 Seconds|1-10 Seconds|1-15 Seconds|1-20 Seconds|1-25 Seconds|1-30 Seconds")
_GUICtrlListBox_SetItemData($List,0,5)
_GUICtrlListBox_SetItemData($List,1,10)
_GUICtrlListBox_SetItemData($List,2,15)
_GUICtrlListBox_SetItemData($List,3,20)
_GUICtrlListBox_SetItemData($List,4,25)
_GUICtrlListBox_SetItemData($List,5,30)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
#EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ###

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Why the hell the first item is dropped bottom list?

As u see the order is:

GUICtrlSetData(-1, "1-5 Seconds|1-10 Seconds|1-15 Seconds|1-20 Seconds|1-25 Seconds|1-30 Seconds")

looks alphanumeric to me.

When you created your ListBox, you did not specify a style, so the defaults were used. The defaults for the listbox are:

$LBS_SORT, $WS_BORDER, $WS_VSCROLL

$LBS_SORT is sorting the list, and 1-5 is the last (highest) item when the list is sorted. You must do one of two things:

Format your numbers so that the desired sort occurs

OR

You should define your style (and add necessary includes) to remove $LBS_SORT:

#include <GuiListBox.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

$GuiPrincipale = GUICreate("New Gui", 802, 617, 156, 96)
GUICtrlCreateGroup("Features", 16, 512, 273, 57)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 8, 400, 0, "Arial")
$Checkbox2 = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("actions", 24, 536, 161, 17)
$List = GUICtrlCreateList("", 184, 528, 97, 34, $WS_BORDER + $WS_VSCROLL)
GUICtrlSetData(-1, "1-5 Seconds|1-10 Seconds|1-15 Seconds|1-20 Seconds|1-25 Seconds|1-30 Seconds")
_GUICtrlListBox_SetItemData($List, 0, 5)
_GUICtrlListBox_SetItemData($List, 1, 10)
_GUICtrlListBox_SetItemData($List, 2, 15)
_GUICtrlListBox_SetItemData($List, 3, 20)
_GUICtrlListBox_SetItemData($List, 4, 25)
_GUICtrlListBox_SetItemData($List, 5, 30)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
#endregion ### END Koda GUI section ###

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
    EndSwitch
WEnd

It's pretty simple. When you created your ListBox, you went with the default style (since you did not specify any style). The default style is the same as adding $LBS_SORT + $WS_BORDER + $WS_VSCROLL in the style option.

You did not want to use sort ($LBS_SORT), because the "1-5" would have been last in the list. If you had made it "1-05" it would have been first and you would have had your expected results.

In order to do that, you must specify what styles to use, as though you were adding extra styles to the ListBox. In order to specify the styles manually, you must include whatever files that define those styles. In this case, I only used $WS_BORDER + $WS_VSCROLL which are both defined in WindowsConstants.au3

You can also negate styles, but that is more complicated (in my opinion).
