My revision history:

v1

I've fixed up your code. I belive my effort deserves some mention. Your code is very very bad. You are creating one list over another instead of dynamicly deleting/creating on the fly which is causing them to not function due to overlaping lists.

v2

I fixed up the code even more, notice the new include

#Include <GuiList.au3>

_GUICtrlListClear($h_listbox)

include link

v3

Fixed some odd bugs due to you doing freaky stuff and it's running well. ;)

Thankyou so much! I have only one other thing to ask. I tried to cut and paste the code to notepad, and all the formatting is hosed. Can you put the code in a txt file and attach it? PLEASE????? I will owe you big time!

Or start wordpad and Ctrl+V paste the code into it... then you can Ctrl+C and paste it into you favorite editor ... (I hope that isn't notepad .... ;) )

Ok, here is the code for the fixed program, with comments added for easy use. THANK YOU for your help on this ligenza, and I made sure you got credit on this! I designed it so others can use it.

;Tree Paste 1.0
;Written by Vollyman with bunches of help from ligenza

;=============================================================
;about TreePaste

;  This program is a sub program for UNPLUS. UNPlus, to describe
; it simply is a program that reprograms the function keys
; on your keyboard (CTRL + F6 thru F11) to perform scripted task to
; save you time. The use of the CTRL key is done to perserve
; functionality of other programs. 
;  When using TreePaste, the user will 
;   1. Click in a field of the application they wish to edit.
;   2. Press CTRL + F10. This will blank out any data in the field.
;   3. In the window that opens, the user will navigate the tree
;      to the desired catagory
;   4. A list will appear in the right window, and the user will
;      select the item desired
;   5. Click "paste"
;
;  This will close TreePaste, and paste the selected data to the 
; field from the clipboard.
;
;  All the data that appears in the right window is populated by INI
; files. This allows for updates to be performed by users or admins
; without the need to recode the program. The only time the program 
; will need recoding is when a catagory is needed to be added.

;--------------
;  The following code is used to reprogram the F10 key for treepaste
; You will need to write a program to have this run in a loop to 
; keep it active. I put the sleep statements in for I found it makes
; it more stable. I found sometimes it will work too fast, and nothing
; will be pasted to the edit field.

;
;  HotKeySet ("^{F10}", "$funct1")
;   Func $funct1()
;   Send("^a")
;   sleep(100)
;   Send("^x")
;   sleep(100)
;   Runwait ("treepaste.exe", "")
;   sleep(100)
;   Send("^v")
;   EndFunc

CODE
;Tree Paste 1.0

;Written by Vollyman with bunches of help from ligenza

;=============================================================

;about TreePaste

; This program is a sub program for UNPLUS. UNPlus, to describe

; it simply is a program that reprograms the function keys

; on your keyboard (CTRL + F6 thru F11) to perform scripted task to

; save you time. The use of the CTRL key is done to perserve

; functionality of other programs.

; When using TreePaste, the user will

; 1. Click in a field of the application they wish to edit.

; 2. Press CTRL + F10. This will blank out any data in the field.

; 3. In the window that opens, the user will navigate the tree

; to the desired catagory

; 4. A list will appear in the right window, and the user will

; select the item desired

; 5. Click "paste"

;

; This will close TreePaste, and paste the selected data to the

; field from the clipboard.

;

; All the data that appears in the right window is populated by INI

; files. This allows for updates to be performed by users or admins

; without the need to recode the program. The only time the program

; will need recoding is when a catagory is needed to be added.

;--------------

; The following code is used to reprogram the F10 key for treepaste

; You will need to write a program to have this run in a loop to

; keep it active. I put the sleep statements in for I found it makes

; it more stable. I found sometimes it will work too fast, and nothing

; will be pasted to the edit field.

;You never use makeInput so why leave it in? Deleted.

;Renamed NthruZitem to itmNtoZ

;It starts with the prefix itm so we know it's an item of our treeview then it's followed by NtoZ which is shorter & more pretty then NtoZ

;Same thing with AthruMitem, renamed to itmAtoM. In larger programs having a variable naming convention that works well is essential, bad variable names make for messy code.

;Pasting is the process of taking data from the clipboard and putting it into a controle while copying is the process of

;taking data from a controle and putting it onto the clipboard, you have the two mixed up.

;thelist corrected to the list

;You had all this text on one line, shame on you. Use the next line operator to make it span multiple lines to improve readability.

;You can tell exactly from the code what is happening, don't make stupid comments like this.

;#include <GUIConstants.au3>;you will need to include this file

;Same deal here.. comments are used to explain to the programmer what is happening, don't explain extreamly basic things or the code will

;become cluttered. I understand you're new and learning but this is all part of the learning process. :dance: I left the comments unchanged.

;Finally your formatting sucks. There is no formatting in your code. You should try to stick to the standard formating convention to make your code readable

;to other programmers as well as yourself.

Change notes

;v5 Change Notes

;You've sectioned off the code well except you left the global variables scattered about, not good! I added a global variable section and put them

;all under it.

;Global $input -- Why is this even here? You don't use it once. Remove stuff that is never used, you did this with the makeInput funciton I removed in

;v4 as well. :mad2: $input removed.

;What are you trying to do here?! This code is very bad. It shows you have no idea what GUISetState does, look it up in the HelpFile

;and read then look at how the examples use it. GUISetState, when called with no parameters, will show the gui. Why are you showing the GUI

;each time you make a button? The GUI is hidden when you create it as you're suppose to add all your controles and then once you're done you call

; GUISetState ONCE! :cheer: I fixed up the code to do just that and I added a little comment.

;;buttons

;$a = GUICtrlRead($desktoplist)

;exit

;"paste"button (it's really copy by the way.. might want to change that, see v4 notes for explination)

;Ok now on the code for the exit button you have a freaky comment that looks like it was stolen from somewhere (I removed it) and

;you create and assign the variable a to the highlited item in $desktoplist but never do anything with it! What are you thinking?

;I fixed up both events to work correctly, mainly when you click the "paste" button it copys the data like it should and the

;program does _not_ exit. The exit button will just exit the program like it should and wont do any last minute pointless calculations.

;I just noticed you have ;$msg = -3 Or $msg = -1 in there as a comment about three times. What the hell? It has nothing to do with your code

;nor the code you're putting it next to. All removed.

;Removed the stupid comment:

;;msgbox with how to use

;MsgBox(0, "How to use TreePaste"

;as you can see the first line says it's a message box and starts off with "How to use.." you do NOT need a comment there! If you do then shame on you.

;The "copy" button got on my nerves again and I just renamed it how it should of origonally been named, to copy. I also changed the caption to reflect

;this recent name change.

;Again talking about variable naming conventions.. xbutton is horrible. Renamed all of your xbuttons using a btnx convention where x

;is the identifier. example: helpbutton => btnHelp notice the capital H.

;when you have hundreds of buttons this shorter yet clear naming convention will come in handy.

;you named the Cancel button exitbutton.. stick to one name. Named btnCancel

;Line four of your Help button message

; & "" & @CRLF & " If you do not wish to make a choice, click -Cancel-")

;changed to click the cancel button. In all the other lines you end with a period and then you suddenly don't use one. Be consistant.

;-Cancel- is so weird and no one says that when refering to a button, if I was a user I'd be really confused hence my change to

; "the cancel button" this way they'll know what you're talking about with minimal confusion!

;You have this comment..

; to use with INI file in your script.

; Make sure you have path correct to

; ini file. I found it best to have

; ini files in a sub folder as shown

; in the example.

;about five times in your example and it means nothing. If you built this so others can use it then your a very cruel person.

;I don't see any effort put into this on your part to make the code readable.. it's taken me five revisions to even get it to this point! ;(

;Removed the comments that ment nothing _ALL_ of them.. You had many more, see your origonal source for them. haha.

;Ok, when your commenting code don't use aol speak as it is not professional. Changed thru to through.

;After removing all those identicial yet totally irrelivent comments I get the impression that this was a copy and paste hack job.

;Again if your target audience is really other autoit developers you must code well.. this is not acceptable unless you don't mind

;looking like some aol l33t dude. ;)

;Finally your formatting sucks. There is no formatting in your code. You should try to stick to the standard formating convention to make your code readable

;v5 Change Notes

;You've sectioned off the code well except you left the global variables scattered about, not good! I added a global variable section and put them

;Global $input -- Why is this even here? You don't use it once. Remove stuff that is never used, you did this with the makeInput funciton I removed in

;v4 as well. :oops: $input removed.

;What are you trying to do here?! This code is very bad. It shows you have no idea what GUISetState does, look it up in the HelpFile

;and read then look at how the examples use it. GUISetState, when called with no parameters, will show the gui. Why are you showing the GUI

;each time you make a button? The GUI is hidden when you create it as you're suppose to add all your controles and then once you're done you call

; GUISetState ONCE! ;) I fixed up the code to do just that and I added a little comment.

;;buttons

;GUISetState()

;$btnCancel = GUICtrlCreateButton("Cancel", 465, 462, 70, 20)

;you create and assign the variable a to the highlited item in $desktoplist but never do anything with it! What are you thinking?

;I fixed up both events to work correctly, mainly when you click the "paste" button it copys the data like it should and the

;program does _not_ exit. The exit button will just exit the program like it should and wont do any last minute pointless calculations.

;I just noticed you have ;$msg = -3 Or $msg = -1 in there as a comment about three times. What the hell? It has nothing to do with your code

;nor the code you're putting it next to. All removed.

;Removed the stupid comment:

;;msgbox with how to use

;MsgBox(0, "How to use TreePaste"

;as you can see the first line says it's a message box and starts off with "How to use.." you do NOT need a comment there! If you do then shame on you.

;The "copy" button got on my nerves again and I just renamed it how it should of origonally been named, to copy. I also changed the caption to reflect

;this recent name change.

;Again talking about variable naming conventions.. xbutton is horrible. Renamed all of your xbuttons using a btnx convention where x

;is the identifier. example: helpbutton => btnHelp notice the capital H.

;when you have hundreds of buttons this shorter yet clear naming convention will come in handy.

;you named the Cancel button exitbutton.. stick to one name. Named btnCancel

;Line four of your Help button message

; & "" & @CRLF & " If you do not wish to make a choice, click -Cancel-")

;changed to click the cancel button. In all the other lines you end with a period and then you suddenly don't use one. Be consistant.

;-Cancel- is so weird and no one says that when refering to a button, if I was a user I'd be really confused hence my change to

; "the cancel button" this way they'll know what you're talking about with minimal confusion!

;You have this comment..

; to use with INI file in your script.

; Make sure you have path correct to

;Removed the comments that ment nothing _ALL_ of them.. You had many more, see your origonal source for them. haha.

;Ok, when your commenting code don't use aol speak as it is not professional. Changed thru to through.

Odd emote error isn't allowing me to edit my post. It deleted what I had added in my edit. A fairly serious bug. I seem to "win" with these deleteing data bugs.

Edit: Incorrect number of tags error just caused me to loose everything I added in my edit. win = 3...

CODE

;Added function CopyToClip which copys the selected item to the clipboard only if there's something to copy in the first palce.

;Before you could just start the program and click copy and it would close, now it'll only work if you actually copy something.

;btnCopy will now run CopyToClip to take advantage of this new funtionality, old code removed. Added context menu which uses

CODE
;Tree Paste 1.0

;Written by Vollyman with bunches of help from ligenza

;=============================================================

;about TreePaste

; This program is a sub program for UNPLUS. UNPlus, to describe

; it simply is a program that reprograms the function keys

; on your keyboard (CTRL + F6 thru F11) to perform scripted task to

; save you time. The use of the CTRL key is done to perserve

; functionality of other programs.

; When using TreePaste, the user will

; 1. Click in a field of the application they wish to edit.

; 2. Press CTRL + F10. This will blank out any data in the field.

; 3. In the window that opens, the user will navigate the tree

; to the desired catagory

; 4. A list will appear in the right window, and the user will

; select the item desired

; 5. Click "paste"

;

; This will close TreePaste, and paste the selected data to the

; field from the clipboard.

;

; All the data that appears in the right window is populated by INI

; files. This allows for updates to be performed by users or admins

; without the need to recode the program. The only time the program

; will need recoding is when a catagory is needed to be added.

;--------------

; The following code is used to reprogram the F10 key for treepaste

; You will need to write a program to have this run in a loop to

; keep it active. I put the sleep statements in for I found it makes

; it more stable. I found sometimes it will work too fast, and nothing

; will be pasted to the edit field.

;

; HotKeySet ("^{F10}", "$funct1")

; Func $funct1()

; Send("^a")

all the returns have been lost in the formatting. I tried that when you posted the fix.

Ahhh, I didn't try the wordpad trick first. THANKS!!!!!

Usually I use Crimson Editor. Is there a better editer out there? :P

Crimson is a very nice editor .... I obviously like SciTE4AutoIt3 better, but it could be I am prejudiced ;)

Been Real busy, We had a server go down. I did get a look at it this morning. It looked real good. WHay did you ditch the INI thing I put in?

just curious...

The only "INI thing" you had in there were some useless comments.

From my change log:

;You have this comment..

; to use with INI file in your script.

; Make sure you have path correct to

; ini file. I found it best to have

; ini files in a sub folder as shown

; in the example.

;about five times in your example and it means nothing.

Is that what you're refering to? Any programmer worth her salt knows how to use an ini file. Tons of useless huge comments that don't add anything to the meaning of the program shouldn't be in the code. If you want to use an ini then that's great but don't put comments in for stuff not related to your program!

Maybe you're refering to something totally different, if so just point me in the right direction. A quick look at the changelog yields only the refrence to that comment.

Just a quick note, I don't mean to have a "tone". English isn't my first language and I'm not that great at it yet so don't take what I'm saying too badly. ;)
