_GUICtrlListView_SetItemParam Max Length

[zpanderson]

What is the max length that can be set for an item parameter?

Funny things seem to start happening when I make the length long.

Ex:

_GUICtrlListView_SetItemParam($hListView, 1, 111111111111111111)

and then

MsgBox(4160, "Information", "Item 2 Parameter: " & _GUICtrlListView_GetItemParam($hListView, 1))

returns 'Item 2 Parameter: -2074054201'

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

$Debug_LV = False ; Check ClassName being passed to ListView functions, set to True and use a handle to another control to see it work

_Main()

Func _Main()
    Local $hListView

    GUICreate("ListView Set Item Param", 400, 300)
    $hListView = GUICtrlCreateListView("", 2, 2, 394, 268)
    GUISetState()

    ; Add columns
    _GUICtrlListView_AddColumn($hListView, "Items", 100)

    ; Add items
    _GUICtrlListView_AddItem($hListView, "Item 1")
    _GUICtrlListView_AddItem($hListView, "Item 2")
    _GUICtrlListView_AddItem($hListView, "Item 3")

    ; Set item 2 parameter
    _GUICtrlListView_SetItemParam($hListView, 0, 0123)
    _GUICtrlListView_SetItemParam($hListView, 1, 111111111111111111)
    _GUICtrlListView_SetItemParam($hListView, 2, 2345)
    MsgBox(4160, "Information", "Item 2 Parameter: " & _GUICtrlListView_GetItemParam($hListView, 1))

    ; Loop until user exits
    Do
    Until GUIGetMsg() = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
    GUIDelete()
EndFunc   ;==>_Main

Thanks!

Hi,
There is a byte length for an int, so if you exceed this limit, it turns into bullshit.

This is the same thing for all var types.
More infos here.

Br, FireFox.

It's a limitation of a 32 bit OS, works fine under x64.

Well I have the same return value in the MsgBox under a 64bits OS.

 

Edit : You must run it in 64bits compiled mode.

_{Alright, I understand that now.  Thanks for the clarification.} 

_{Maybe you could assist with another question.  What I'm really trying to do is set a string as the parameter (converted to int) so I'd be able to easily search through the listview.  I didn't think _GUICtrlListView_FindText would work because I need to search upon multiple columns.}

_Ex:

_{Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3}

_{user1        | tst1            | comp1}

_{user2        | tst2            | comp1}

_{user3        | tst3            | comp1}

_{So I need to search and get the index for the combination of user and computer.}

_{Thanks so much for the quick replies.  Y'all are awesome!}

If you want to search in your listview you will have to loop through the items.

It won't be efficient on a large listview so I advice you to build first an array and then search in this array.

That worked out perfectly.  Don't know why I had to try and make things difficult.

Used _GUICtrlListView_CreateArray by Guiness to get my array and then a quick search and bam! done.

Thanks for guiding me in the right direction.
