GUICtrlCreateListView, GUICtrlCreateContextMenu, GUICtrlCreateListViewItem and GUICtrlSetOnEvent

[gcue]

i have a listview with contextmenuitems which im trying to use guictrlsetonevent with but no response when clicking the menuitems.

i would like to continue usuing guictrlsetonevent instead of gui_getmsg because it's part of a larger script that uses guictrlsetonevent.

any help is appreciated!

$iExWindowStyle = BitOR($WS_EX_DLGMODALFRAME, $WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE)
$iExListViewStyle = BitOR($LVS_EX_FULLROWSELECT, $LVS_EX_SUBITEMIMAGES, $LVS_EX_GRIDLINES, $LVS_EX_DOUBLEBUFFER)

$user_startup_listview = GUICtrlCreateListView("NAME|PATH", 10, 30, 640, 215, -1, $iExWindowStyle)

_GUICtrlListView_SetColumnWidth($user_startup_listview, 0, 150)
_GUICtrlListView_SetColumnWidth($user_startup_listview, 1, 460)
_GUICtrlListView_SetExtendedListViewStyle($user_startup_listview, $iExListViewStyle)

$item = GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("test|c:\df", $user_startup_listview)
$menu = GUICtrlCreateContextMenu($item)
GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Find Target", $menu)
GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1, "StartupPanel_FindTarget")
GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Delete", $menu)  
GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1, "StartupPanel_DeleteItem")

Not sure if this is the problem or just bad copying/pasting but this code is wrong:

GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Find Target", $menu)
GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1, "StartupPanel_FindTarget")
GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1, "StartupPanel_DeleteItem")
GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Delete", $menu)

It should be:

GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Find Target", $menu)
GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1, "StartupPanel_FindTarget")
GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Delete", $menu)  
GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1, "StartupPanel_DeleteItem") ;<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< moved this line

oops sorry yes, bad paste.. still doesnt work though

thx for the heads up! =)

Shouldn't this line be pointing at the listview and not at the listviewitem you added?

$menu = GUICtrlCreateContextMenu($item) ;~ Shouldn't $item be $user_startup_listview ?

[gcue]

no because i want the item to carry the menu, not the listview control

[BrewManNH]

Aren't the items added in the listview control? What happens when you click on the context menu items? What do those functions they refer to do with the information? Are you sure it's the context menu item events that aren't being handled correctly, or are your functions not handling the information in the listview correctly? Have you tested to see if the functions are called when you click on the context menu item?

[gcue]

yes they are added to the listview control. but that means ud be able to right click in any whitespace and click "delete this item" - doesnt really apply if you'd be able to do that. that's why id want it to be specific to each listview item. yes i have dummy functions that run msgboxes to indicate they are running properlly. but they are not.

Hello gcue,

i completed your Skript for testing and it works fine:

expandcollapse popup

#Include <GuiListView.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <ListViewConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
Opt("GuiOnEventMode",1)

GUICreate("Test")
GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE,"_exit")
$iExWindowStyle = BitOR($WS_EX_DLGMODALFRAME, $WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE)
$iExListViewStyle = BitOR($LVS_EX_FULLROWSELECT, $LVS_EX_SUBITEMIMAGES, $LVS_EX_GRIDLINES, $LVS_EX_DOUBLEBUFFER)

$user_startup_listview = GUICtrlCreateListView("NAME|PATH", 10, 30, 640, 215, -1, $iExWindowStyle)

_GUICtrlListView_SetColumnWidth($user_startup_listview, 0, 150)
_GUICtrlListView_SetColumnWidth($user_startup_listview, 1, 460)
_GUICtrlListView_SetExtendedListViewStyle($user_startup_listview, $iExListViewStyle)

$item = GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("test|c:\df", $user_startup_listview)
$menu = GUICtrlCreateContextMenu($item)
GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Find Target", $menu)
GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1, "StartupPanel_FindTarget")
GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Delete", $menu)
GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1, "StartupPanel_DeleteItem")
GUISetState()

while 1
    Sleep(250)
WEnd

Func StartupPanel_FindTarget()
    MsgBox(0,"StartupPanel_FindTarget","")
EndFunc

Func StartupPanel_DeleteItem()
    MsgBox(0,"StartupPanel_DeleteItem","")
EndFunc

Func _exit()
    Exit
EndFunc

Remember, you have to use the right Mouse-Button for Contextmenu,
