delete items from listview

[gcue]

i am trying to cycle through a listview and see which items are checked for deletion

problem is, the item's index number changes so $x wouldnt be the same index number..

$startmenu_entries_count = _GUICtrlListView_GetItemCount($startmenu_entries_listview)

    For $x = 0 To $startmenu_entries_count
        $checked = _GUICtrlListView_GetItemChecked($startmenu_entries_listview, $x)

        If $checked = True Then
            _GUICtrlListView_DeleteItem($startmenu_entries_listview, $x)            
        EndIf
    Next

From my experience and messages from this board, deleting items from arrays while looping should be done backwards:

$startmenu_entries_count = _GUICtrlListView_GetItemCount($startmenu_entries_listview)

    For $x = $startmenu_entries_count to 0 step -1
        $checked = _GUICtrlListView_GetItemChecked($startmenu_entries_listview, $x)
        If $checked = True Then
            _GUICtrlListView_DeleteItem($startmenu_entries_listview, $x)            
        EndIf
    Next

Well, that would have been my advice, too.
