Syed23,

Someone needs to read the Managing Multiple GUIs tutorial in the Wiki. ;)

This should work as you want:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

#include <GuiListView.au3>
#include"File.au3"
;#include "Model.au3"
#include <GuiEdit.au3>

Syed23,

Use a return value from the function to determine what you do next: :graduated:

While 1
        $amsg = GUIGetMsg(1)
        Switch $amsg[1]
            Case $GUI1
                Switch $amsg[0]
                    Case $OK
                        If GUICtrlRead($Input) = "" Or GUICtrlRead($Input2) = "" Or GUICtrlRead($Input3) = "" Or GUICtrlRead($Input4) = "" Then
                            MsgBox(48, $Title & "-Warning", "Please fill the all required fields")
                        Else
                            If adminupdate() Then ; Run the function and see what we get as a return value <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
                                ExitLoop ; It was True so we exit <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
                            EndIf 
                        EndIf
                    Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
                        ExitLoop
                EndSwitch
        EndSwitch
    WEnd

    GUIDelete($GUI1)
    GUICtrlSetData($Show, "Show")
    GUICtrlSetState($Administrator, $GUI_SHOW)

EndFunc   ;==>update

Func adminupdate()
    $Add = _GUICtrlListView_GetItemCount($ListView)
    GUICtrlCreateListViewItem($Add + 1 & "|" & GUICtrlRead($Input) & "|" & GUICtrlRead($Input2) & "|" & GUICtrlRead($Input3) & "|" & GUICtrlRead($Input4), $ListView)
    $msgbox = MsgBox(68, $Title & "-updater", "Do you want to add more?")
    If $msgbox = 6 Then
        clear()
        Return False ; We need to run again <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
    EndIf
    Return True ; We need to exit <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Here is my last question for this thread! I have 4 columns of listview with more than 10 rows of datas on each column. now i want to read the list view item for the particular column. what function will help? i serached on help file but i don;t find any special. what i found is i can read the the data for particular row of the first column. how to do it the same for other columns as well. Any clue?

Note: none of the items will be selected manually the data has to be retrived automatically..

Edited: Please appologise me - my question and the title does not match... but this is part of this same tool....

Read the information from the row and find the portion that corresponds to the column you're looking for. The data you get is separated by the "|" character so you can do a stringsplit on the information and find which column you're looking for.

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

Syed23,

i serached on help file but i don;t find any special

You need to sharpen up those searching skills! :)

Take a look at _GUICtrlListView_GetItemText again - notice the $iSubItem parameter? :graduated:

Or you could use _GUICtrlListView_GetItemTextArray and _GUICtrlListView_GetItemTextString - they get all the text of a ListView row and you can then extract the column you require. ;)

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#Include <GuiListView.au3>
#include <Array.au3>

$hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 500, 500)

$hLV = GUICtrlCreateListView("Col 1|Col2", 10, 10, 200, 200)

For $i = 0 To 9
    GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("Item " & $i & "|SubItem 1" & $i, $hLV)
Next

GUISetState()

ConsoleWrite("Row 0 Col 0: " & _GUICtrlListView_GetItemText($hLV, 0) & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite("Row 0 Col 1: " & _GUICtrlListView_GetItemText($hLV, 0, 1) & @CRLF)

ConsoleWrite("Row 0 string: " & _GUICtrlListView_GetItemTextString($hLV, 0) & @CRLF)

$aArray = _GUICtrlListView_GetItemTextArray($hLV, 0)
_ArrayDisplay($aArray)

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