PDowning Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 I found Melba's UDF about selecting directory's and drive's. I have a use for this possibly. I want to create a GUI that roots itself at a folder level on the left side, showing all directories below it. If you click on one of those listings, all files and folders will be listed on the right of the GUI. From there the user can double-click the app for execution. I have been beating my head around all day, trying to figure out KODA, but have been rather unsuccessful. Is this even possible? Something like a Windows Explorer view: Yes I realize this makes it more difficult, probably beyond my capabilities, but it is to keep the end user comfortable with what they are used to using which is Zenworks Application Launcher. Is this even possible or should I seek a replacement that has to be paid for, which I already know the higher-ups will deny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators JLogan3o13 Posted July 3, 2013 Moderators Share Posted July 3, 2013 I guess my question is, what do you expect the end user to do in this view? If you're going to present them "a Windows Explorer view" and then have them select files and folders, why not just use Windows Explorer, with FileOpenDialogue?

Mat Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 So you want an explorer treeview. This is the most commonly used UDF for this: '?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent>> AutoIt Project Listing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PDowning Posted July 3, 2013 Author Share Posted July 3, 2013 Wow. Thanks guys, those are most useful there. Only problem is getting the WinAPIex.au3. The link given in the link is broke. And I looked in the download section and didn't see it there and I was linked to the beta download section and couldn't find it there either. Could someone point me to a valid link for this one?

BrewManNH Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 You have to download the beta version to get the WinAPIEx file, which is now included as a standard UDF.

PDowning Posted July 3, 2013 Author Share Posted July 3, 2013 Thanks. No one mentioned that it was included in the autoit beta. I was expecting to see WinAPIex.au3 listed as a downloadable file. Now I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDowning Posted July 8, 2013 Author Share Posted July 8, 2013 Well, after toying with Koda for a bit I managed to get this created as a tree list. expandcollapse popup#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <ListViewConstants.au3> #include <TreeViewConstants.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> #Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form=g:\launcher gui\apptreeview-1.kxf $AppViewMain = GUICreate("EBRPSS Application Launcher", 615, 438, 190, 125) $AppTree1 = GUICtrlCreateTreeView(0, 0, 241, 433) $AppTree1_0 = GUICtrlCreateTreeViewItem("Accessories", $AppTree1) $AppTree1_1 = GUICtrlCreateTreeViewItem("ActivInspire", $AppTree1) $AppTree1_2 = GUICtrlCreateTreeViewItem("Creativity", $AppTree1) $AppTree1_3 = GUICtrlCreateTreeViewItem("EOC", $AppTree1) $AppTree1_4 = GUICtrlCreateTreeViewItem("Internet Resources - Student", $AppTree1) $AppTree1_5 = GUICtrlCreateTreeViewItem("Internet Resources - Teachers", $AppTree1) $AppTree1_6 = GUICtrlCreateTreeViewItem("Language Arts", $AppTree1) $AppTree1_7 = GUICtrlCreateTreeViewItem("Frog Street", $AppTree1_6) $AppTree1_8 = GUICtrlCreateTreeViewItem("Reading", $AppTree1_6) $AppTree1_9 = GUICtrlCreateTreeViewItem("Textbook Resources", $AppTree1_6) $AppTree1_10 = GUICtrlCreateTreeViewItem("Treasures Instructional Navigator", $AppTree1_9) $AppTree1_11 = GUICtrlCreateTreeViewItem("Leap", $AppTree1) $AppTree1_12 = GUICtrlCreateTreeViewItem("Library Resources", $AppTree1) $AppTree1_13 = GUICtrlCreateTreeViewItem("ABC-CLIO", $AppTree1_12) $AppTree1_14 = GUICtrlCreateTreeViewItem("Math", $AppTree1) $AppTree1_15 = GUICtrlCreateTreeViewItem("Microsoft Office", $AppTree1) $AppTree1_16 = GUICtrlCreateTreeViewItem("System Utilities", $AppTree1) $ListView1 = GUICtrlCreateListView("Choose Program", 240, 0, 380, 440) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) #EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ### While 1 $nMsg = GUIGetMsg() Switch $nMsg Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Exit EndSwitch WEnd The GUI is the way I want it. The coding behind it still baffles me, even after reading the help files and reading other's code, it just all starts running together . So, even though I want to ask for help, I can't expect anyone to do it for me. I am just accepting that I am in above my head without a life preserver, but a concrete block around my feet instead. So I admit defeat. Waving the proverbial white flag (need to add an emoticon for this). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
