Hello coolboy2295,

a good place to start would be the helpfile. Look for the GUICtrlSetColor() function.

Oh thanks i could do it now. But how to make the newer list view item on the top.

coolboy2295,

Use _GUICtrlListView_InsertItem with the $iIndex parameter set to 0.

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

$hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 400, 250)

$hListView = GUICtrlCreateListView("Items", 2, 2, 220, 196)
_GUICtrlListView_SetColumnWidth($hListView, 0, $LVSCW_AUTOSIZE_USEHEADER)
GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("Item 1", $hListView)
GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("Item 2", $hListView)
GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("Item 3", $hListView)

_GUICtrlListView_InsertItem($hListView, "New Item", 0) ; <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

GUISetState()

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

Thanks Melba23, but can we do it with other way. I not prefer using _guictrllistview.

coolboy2295,

Use an array to store the data and insert the new item at the top. Then clear the ListView and repopulate it each time you add a new item.

I not prefer using _guictrllistview

Any particular reason?

Thanks. Can you help me to change ltem width in guictrlcreateview not _guictrllistview.

You can use _GUICtrlListView_SetColumnWidth to set the width to what you want. If you prefer to not use the GuiListView.au3 UDF (not sure why though), you can do it this way:

GUICtrlSendMsg($hWnd, $LVM_SETCOLUMNWIDTH, $iCol, $iWidth)

Where $hWnd is the controlID of the listview, $iCol is the column you want to change, and $iWidth is the width you want the column to be in pixels. Use -1 for $iWidth to autosize the column width to the longest item in that column or you can use -2 to resize the column width to match the header text.

I am trying to do this exactly.

_GUICtrlListView_AddArray ($hListView, $val)

i get this error message

C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\Include\GuiListView.au3 (520) : ==> Array variable has incorrect number of subscripts or subscript dimension range exceeded.:
DllStructSetData($tBuffer, "Text", $aItems[$iI][0])
DllStructSetData($tBuffer, "Text", ^ ERROR

What am i doing wrong ?

You must use two dimensional array.

Invest more time to reading helpfile instead of trying nonsense.

wow great way of helping ppl... grats

[Melba23]

alfa,

Why are you hijacking this thread in the first place? The OP dealt with colouring items in a ListView and you are asking about _GUICtrlListView_AddArray - nothing to do with the original subject.

Zedna's answer is absolutely correct - how many dimensions are there in the array you are trying to use? If the answer is not 2 and it is not formatted as explained in the Help file then it is hardly surprising that it does not work. If it is a suitably formatted array then post your code so we can try to debug it.

You appear not to have done the first of those things as you have a simple error which suggests that you do not have a 2D array. And you have not done the second as I see no code in your post. How can we help you if we do not know what you have done?

If you do not respect the rules of the forum you are likely to get short shrift - as has just been demonstrated. So over to you - either use an array of the correct format or post your script so we can debug.

I wasnt trying to hijack anyones thread , i just saw that one of the answers was really similar to mine and didnt want to go for a new post. I will make a new post than.

[Melba23]

alfa,

I will make a new post

Good idea. But read what I posted above and give us more to go on than a simple error message or you are likely to get a similar response!
