Hello,

I’ve been having this problem for a few days now and after all the research I’ve done, I can’t for the life of me figure out what I need to do.

I currently have a GUI that generates a List view, I would like to double click on one of the list view items and have another GUI pop up with expanded information about selection. The information is placed in Input controls that are disabled, and can be enabled by pressing a button off to the side. I wish to expand to this more.

I am having issues with the double click. As it goes, when I double click a function is called but not within the original loop of the Parent Gui.

I’ve only included the parts I think I’m having trouble with (the first is the Parent window, the second is the double click function, and lastly is the child window) ive read that it is possible to have two Qui windows up at the same time and the code for the double click I found here in the Forums, but I feel that I need the double click to register within the main menu loop, I just don’t know if that is correct or how I might go about this another way ( I have also studied a bit on GUIset onEvent but I don’t know if that’s what I need)

Thank you in advance for your help, please let me know if you need anything more.

A GUICtrlCreateDummy() control is perfect for this.

It is generally helpful to post a functional code reproducer so those who help

do not have to make the code functional in order to show working code to you

the original poster and to those who may read this later.

I prefer to post a working example.

A block of code is worth a 1000 words :mellow:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <GuiListView.au3>


;Use this Opt() line with the SciTE editor.
;It makes a good taskmaster for enforcing declaration of variables in global or local scope.
;Opt('MustDeclareVars', 1)

;Your going to need globals for the vars accessed in wm_notify, _create_main_menu and _address_gui
Global $listview_add_entry, $Gui, $Gui_Address, $edit_button, $cLVItem
Global $aNew_entry_search[30][9]

First off, thank you so much!!!

Sorry about not posting a working piece, I’ve been in a bit of a rush. I’m pretty sure I understand the concept though. Create a dummy Control, return information to it when a double click has been sent so it can be read by GUIGetMsg()… then run the commands from there. That was exactly what I needed, and I partially recognized I needed something along those lines I just didn’t know how to go about it.

Again sorry about not posting a fully functioning script, but I really really appreciate your help!!!
