[SOLVED] Checkbox disappears after SetItemState

[KongMD]

My goal is to uncheck a checkbox that's inside of a SysListView32. I assume I have something wrong with the State parameter (have tried several values), because when this code is executed, the checkbox disappears entirely. Clicking on the control (not the checkbox) once shows an unchecked box.

_GUICtrlListView_SetItemState($listview, $i, 0, $LVIS_STATEIMAGEMASK)

Try using $GUI_UNCHECKED for the state instead of $LVIS_STATEIMAGEMASK.

[KongMD]

That doesn't work, unfortunately. The variable I assigned to the expression returned "True", so I must have the $iState parameter wrong (note: there's an $iState and also an $iStateMask parameter) I can't determine what to put there... The helpfile doesn't give any possible values, strangely. Here's what I've tried so far:

$test = _GUICtrlListView_SetItemState($listview, $i, $GUI_UNCHECKED, $GUI_UNCHECKED)
$test = _GUICtrlListView_SetItemState($listview, $i, $GUI_CHECKED, $GUI_UNCHECKED)
$test = _GUICtrlListView_SetItemState($listview, $i, 0, $GUI_UNCHECKED)

Have you tried _GUICtrlListView_SetItemChecked?

[KongMD]

Just tried that now - test var returns true, but box stays checked. I dug up an old thread and got an idea - I can just ControlSend the {SPACE} command to the control! The problem is that it always toggles the checkbox of the first item in the list. I have the desired item selected already - how do I put the focus on the item that's currently selected in a SysListView32 control?

When you tried that command I gave you, what was the format you used to try and uncheck it? Also, can you post a reproducer script that shows the problem? It's easier to figure out what's going wrong if we know what you're trying to do.

Sure, I'd be happy to. Here's the function. The code segment we've been working with is inside the conditional "If $iniVal <> "NotFound" AND $iniVal = 0 Then"

expandcollapse popup

Func reDisableEntries($isServices)
        
    If $isServices = 1 Then
        ;Click services
        _GUICtrlTab_ClickTab($hTab, 2)
        Sleep(50)
        
        ;Check the hide
        ControlCommand($configWin, "", "Button3", "Check")
        Sleep(50)
    Else
        ;Click startup
        _GUICtrlTab_ClickTab($hTab, 3)
        Sleep(50)
    EndIf

    ;Restore service states back to user's custom setting
    ControlFocus($configWin, "", "List1")
    Sleep(50)
    
    Local $listview = ControlGetHandle ( $configWin, "", "List1" )
    Local $totalItems = ControlListView ($configWin, "", $listview, "GetItemCount")
    Local $iniVal = 1 ;default
    
    For $i = 0 To ($totalItems - 1)
        ControlListView($configWin, "", $listview, "SelectClear")
        ControlListView($configWin, "", $listview, "Select", $i)
        
        $indexSelected = ControlListView($configWin, "", $listview, "GetSelected")
        $itemText = ControlListView($configWin, "", $listview, "GetText", $indexSelected, 0)
        $itemState = getListItemState($listview, $i)
        
        ;MsgBox(64, $i, $itemText & " - " & $itemState)

        If $isServices = 1 Then
            ;add service name to an .ini file
            $iniVal = IniRead (@AppDataDir & "SelectiveStartup.ini", "Disabled Services", $itemText, "NotFound")
        ElseIf $isServices = 0 Then
        ;add startup program name to an .ini file
            $iniVal = IniRead (@AppDataDir & "SelectiveStartup.ini", "Disabled Startup Programs", $itemText, "NotFound")
        EndIf
        
        If $iniVal <> "NotFound" AND $iniVal = 0 Then
        
            ;ControlSend($configWin, "", $listview, "{SPACE}")
            ;$test = _GUICtrlListView_SetItemState($listview, $i, 1, $GUI_UNCHECKED)
            ;$test = _GUICtrlListView_SetItemChecked($listview, $i, False)
            ;$test = _GUICtrlListView_SetItemChecked($listview, $i, "False")
            
            ControlListView($configWin, "", $listview, "SelectClear")
            ControlListView($configWin, "", $listview, "Select", $i)
            ControlSend($configWin, "", $listview, "{SPACE}")
            ;_GUICtrlListView_SetItemSelected($List, $FocusItem)
            
            ;MsgBox(64, "uncheck test", $test)
        EndIf
            
        ;MsgBox(64, $i, $itemText & " - " & $iniVal)
    Next
EndFunc

I figured it out, finally. The helpfile is either wrong or misleading for _GUICtrlListView_SetItemChecked in that the $fCheck parameter's accepted values are 1 and 0, not True and False. Here is the correct syntax to uncheck a listview item:

$test = _GUICtrlListView_SetItemChecked($listview, $i, 0)

Thanks for your help, though, BrewManNH!
