ListView - bad items' colors when bad values

[Zedna]

It's probably bug of Autoit because when I pass bad (higher) number of values to GUICtrlCreateListViewItem()

then ListView item is created OK but folowing GUICtrlSetColor() results in bad item colors.

Here is reproducing example:

expandcollapse popup

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <GuiListView.au3>
 
GUICreate("listview items", 800, 250, 100, 200)
 
; correct values (all colors OK)
$listview1 = GUICtrlCreateListView("col1  |col2|col3  ", 10, 10, 200, 150)
GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("item1|col12|0xff0000", $listview1)
GUICtrlSetColor(-1, '0xff0000')
GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("item2|col22|0x00ff00", $listview1)
GUICtrlSetColor(-1, '0x00ff00')
GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("item3|col32|0x0000ff", $listview1)
GUICtrlSetColor(-1, '0x0000ff')
GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("item4|col422|0x000000", $listview1)
GUICtrlSetColor(-1, '0x000000')
 
; one value incorrect (all colors bad)
$listview2 = GUICtrlCreateListView("col1  |col2|col3  ", 250, 10, 200, 150)
GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("item1|col12|0xff0000", $listview2)
GUICtrlSetColor(-1, '0xff0000')
;GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("item2|col22|0x00ff00", $listview2)
GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("item2|col22|0x00ff00|xyz", $listview2) ; last value incorrect
GUICtrlSetColor(-1, '0x00ff00')
GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("item3|col32|0x0000ff", $listview2)
GUICtrlSetColor(-1, '0x0000ff')
GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("item4|col422|0x000000", $listview2)
GUICtrlSetColor(-1, '0x000000')
 
; all values incorrect (all colors bad black)
$listview3 = GUICtrlCreateListView("col1  |col2|col3  ", 520, 10, 200, 150)
GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("item1|col12|0xff0000|xyz", $listview3) ; last value incorrect
GUICtrlSetColor(-1, '0xff0000')
GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("item2|col22|0x00ff00|xyz", $listview3) ; last value incorrect
GUICtrlSetColor(-1, '0x00ff00')
GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("item3|col32|0x0000ff|xyz", $listview3) ; last value incorrect
GUICtrlSetColor(-1, '0x0000ff')
GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("item4|col422|0x000000|xyz", $listview3) ; last value incorrect
GUICtrlSetColor(-1, '0x000000')
 
GUISetState()
 
Do
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
Until $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

Zedna,

If you check the return value from the "incorrect" GUICtrlCreateListViewItem line, you get "0" so it is little surprise the GUICtrlSetColor(-1, ...) does not work.

I seem to remember a recent thread about having too much data in a GUICtrlCreateListViewItem line for the available columns which included a typically pithy comment from Valik - but I cannot find it at present.
