Listviews and Carriage Returns/Line Feeds

[Affe]

I've been developing a program that uses a listview to display data. Some of the data contains carriage returns and line feeds "@CRLF".

Everything displays perfectly on my x64 machine under both Windows 7 and Vista.

However, I seem to be having some issues on my x32 WinXP machine. Carriage returns and line feeds aren't shown properly, instead displaying "" (<- supposed to be a box).

This doesn't produce a very aesthetic look, and I've been hoping to find a solution - any suggestions?

Try StringStripCR() before adding to ListView.

Thanks for the fast reply, however, I'm wishing to keep the multi-line output.

I tried stripping the CR and leaving the line feeds as you suggested. This simply changes it from showing 2 boxes between each line to one box, and still no multiple lines.

Thanks again

Read your file to an array with StringSplit($file, @lf).

Afterwards put each line from array to Listview with StringStripCR($array[$i]).

Ah I'm sorry, I must have not been clear on this.

I'm able to fill out my Listview with all of the rows and columns just fine.

It's only a display issue, where one of the sub items on an index contains text that have line feeds in them.

Here's the section of code where I'm populating the Listview. The variable $itemname is the element that contains the @CRLF:

expandcollapse popup

ProgressOn("Antfamous.net Auctioneer", "Initializing Selection")
    Sleep(250)
    _GUICtrlListView_BeginUpdate($hListView)
    For $x = 0 To UBound($Browse_Array) - 1
        ProgressSet((($x + 1) / $ttl) * 100, "Item " & ($x + 1) & " of " & $ttl, "Compiling Selection")

        $imgloc = $images_directory & $Browse_Array[$x][8] & ".bmp"

        If FileExists($imgloc) Then
            _GUIImageList_AddBitmap($hImage, $imgloc)
        Else
            _GUIImageList_AddBitmap($hImage, $images_directory & "Unknown.bmp")
        EndIf

        $itemname = ""
        $tmp = StringSplit($Browse_Array[$x][1], "&", 1)
        For $i = 1 To $tmp[0]
            $tmp2 = StringSplit($tmp[$i], "^", 1)
            $itemname &= $tmp2[1] & @CRLF
        Next

        $desc = $Browse_Array[$x][14]

        $iParam = $Browse_Array[$x][0]

        $Items_Array[$x][0] = GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("", $hListView)
        _GUICtrlListView_AddItem($hListView, "", $x, $iParam)
        _GUICtrlListView_AddSubItem($hListView, $x, $itemname, 1)
        _GUICtrlListView_AddSubItem($hListView, $x, $Browse_Array[$x][22], 2)

        $auc_tsa = String($Browse_Array[$x][2])
        $auc_ts = StringLeft($auc_tsa, 4) & "/"
        $auc_tsa = StringTrimLeft($auc_tsa, 4)
        $auc_ts &= StringLeft($auc_tsa, 2) & "/"
        $auc_tsa = StringTrimLeft($auc_tsa, 2)
        $auc_ts &= StringLeft($auc_tsa, 2) & " "
        $auc_tsa = StringTrimLeft($auc_tsa, 2)
        $auc_ts &= StringLeft($auc_tsa, 2) & ":"
        $auc_tsa = StringTrimLeft($auc_tsa, 2)
        $auc_ts &= StringLeft($auc_tsa, 2) & ":"
        $auc_tsa = StringTrimLeft($auc_tsa, 2)
        $auc_ts &= StringLeft($auc_tsa, 2)

        $time = _DateDiff("h", $auc_ts, $cur_ts)
        $timeleft = Int($Browse_Array[$x][3] - $time)
        _GUICtrlListView_AddSubItem($hListView, $x, $timeleft, 3)

        _GUICtrlListView_AddSubItem($hListView, $x, $Browse_Array[$x][6], 4)

        $buy = $Browse_Array[$x][7]
        If $buy = "0" Then $buy = "None"
        _GUICtrlListView_AddSubItem($hListView, $x, $buy, 5)

        $Items_Array[$x][1] = $Browse_Array[$x][0]

        $Items_Array[$x][2] = $Browse_Array[$x][1] & "&" & $desc

        $tmparray = StringSplit($Items_Array[$x][2], "&", 1)
            Dim $des_array[$tmparray[0]][2]
            For $k = 1 to $tmparray[0]
                $tmp = StringSplit($tmparray[$k], "^", 1)
                $des_array[$k - 1][0] = $tmp[1]
                $des_array[$k - 1][1] = "0x" & $tmp[2]
            Next

        $Items_Array[$x][2] = $des_array


    Next
    ProgressSet(100, "Finalizing Selection...", "Compiling Selection Complete")
    Sleep(250)
    ProgressOff()
    _GUICtrlListView_SetImageList($hListView, $hImage, 1)
    _GUICtrlListView_EndUpdate($hListView)

Can you try this in line 28?:

_GUICtrlListView_AddSubItem($hListView, $x, StringStripWS(StringStripCR($itemname), 3), 1)

Didn't seem to help I think I'll just have to StringReplace the @CRLF with spaces if StringInStr(@OSVersion, "WIN_XP")

Thanks for trying though
