Getting the content of a list box as a string or array

[nullschritt]

Hello all, until recently I was using a listview to sort out a list of data, however I now feel it would look better to put the data in a listbox, rather than a list view. I found a function to convert listviews into an array but none to put a listbox in an array or string(that I could find)

Could anyone provide some help with this?

I would assume that the steps are similar, just substituting _GUICtrlList_*  for the  equivalent _GUICtlrListView_* function.

I would assume that the steps are similar, just substituting _GUICtrlList_*  for the  equivalent _GUICtlrListView_* function.

The functions are not that simmilar, the function for listviews returns a 2d array of the data inside it (since the data can be in a grid, with rows and columns).

I made this, it seems to work.

func _guictrllistbox_getall($control)
                                $count = _GUICtrlListBox_GetCount($control)
                                $temp = ""
                                for $i=0 to $count-1
                                    $temp &= _GUICtrlListBox_GetText($control, $i)&"|"
                                Next
                                Return $temp
EndFunc

I know this post is a little bit old but I ran into the same issue and thought I'd share.  Rather than having to recycle my code, I wrote this. --Skampp
