ListView callback by checkbox

[Terenz]

This is my last subject about listview for a long time

I'd try to orded the list by state of the checkbox. In theory i know how to do, pratically:

1) Check the state of the checkbox

2) Assign a value based on the checkbox state ( like 1 for True and 0 for False ) 

3) If $val1 < $val2 Then $nResult = -1

4) $val1 > $val2 Then $nResult = 1

The problem is i can't check the value of the checkbox in the callback, the script:

expandcollapse popup

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

Global $nCurCol = -1
Global $nSortDir = 1
Global $bSet = 0
Global $nCol = -1

    Local $lv, $msg

    GUICreate("Test", 300, 200)

    $lv = GUICtrlCreateListView("|Col2", 10, 10, 280, 180, -1, $LVS_EX_CHECKBOXES)
    GUICtrlRegisterListViewSort(-1, "LVSort") ; Register the function "SortLV" for the sorting callback

    GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("|ABC", $lv)

                DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "InvalidateRect", "hwnd", GUICtrlGetHandle($lv), "int", 0, "int", 1)

        ConsoleWrite(_GUICtrlListView_GetItemChecked($hWnd, $aItem1[4]) & @CRLF)
        ConsoleWrite(_GUICtrlListView_GetItemChecked($hWnd, $aItem2[4]) & @CRLF)
    EndIf

    $nResult = 0 ; No change of item1 and item2 positions

    If $val1 < $val2 Then
        $nResult = -1 ; Put item2 before item1

The result of _GetItem + GetItemChecked is always False or always True, maybe is not the better approach.

Thanks for any help

Hi,

I quickly looked your code and I doubt you are using the _GUICtrlListView_GetItemChecked function correctly, the second parameter is the item index and your code seems complicated.

If it's not the case tell me I'll take a deeper look.

Br, FireFox.

_GetItem in theory return the index of the item ( [4] - 0-based item image index ) and i'm using that index for _GetItemChecked, i'm wrong?

And if i'm wrong how i can check the index from the item?

I have a partially resolved, yes i have made a mistake with the index:

If $nColumn = 0 Then
        $val1 = GetItemIndex($hWnd, $nItem1)
        $val2 = GetItemIndex($hWnd, $nItem2)
        If _GUICtrlListView_GetItemChecked($hWnd, $val1) = False Then $val1 = -1
        If _GUICtrlListView_GetItemChecked($hWnd, $val2) = False Then $val2 = -1
        If _GUICtrlListView_GetItemChecked($hWnd, $val1) = True Then $val1 = 1
        If _GUICtrlListView_GetItemChecked($hWnd, $val2) = True Then $val2 = 1
    EndIf

    $nResult = 0 ; No change of item1 and item2 positions

    If $val1 < $val2 Then
        $nResult = -1 ; Put item2 before item1
    ElseIf $val1 > $val2 Then
        $nResult = 1 ; Put item2 behind item1
    EndIf

    $nResult = $nResult * $nSortDir

    Return $nResult
EndFunc   ;==>LVSort

; Retrieve index of a listview item
Func GetItemIndex($nCtrlID, $nItemID)
    Local $stLvfi = DllStructCreate("uint;ptr;int;int[2];int")
    Local $nIndex, $stBuffer
    DllStructSetData($stLvfi, 1, $LVFI_PARAM)
    DllStructSetData($stLvfi, 3, $nItemID)
    $stBuffer = DllStructCreate("char[260]")
    $nIndex = GUICtrlSendMsg($nCtrlID, $LVM_FINDITEM, -1, DllStructGetPtr($stLvfi));
    Return $nIndex
EndFunc   ;==>GetItemIndex

Yeah i can sort for checkbox

But now i have a question, after i have order for checkbox i want to order for name the second column, how? Because you can have:

checked - DFE

checked - CDE

Not checked - ABC

Instead of

checked - CDE

checked - DFE

Not checked - ABC
