Issues with Listview and checkboxes

benners · January 11, 2015

I know this should be in the GUI section but this forum is a bit more active. After playing around with this code all day I am still unable to get it to function as I want.

The code is stripped from a bigger script but this is the section I am having issues with. The idea is to have a listview with items in. When items are checked, the delete button is enabled. When no items are checked the button is disabled.

The code works when normal selecting speed is applied, however, when you try to break it by using The Flash speed, the counter gets confused as to the amount of items selected and the button is enabled when it shouldn't be. I have tried enabling, disabling the GUI, begin and end update on the listview, adding sleeps, the one thing that has worked best was disabling the listview until the button enabling code has run, this however looks low rent and isn't aesthetically pleasing.

Is there a better was to do the above than the code below?.

benners,

I have always found that carrying out operations inside the WM_NOTIFY handler can cause the sort of problems you are describing when the handler is fired several times very quickly - the system does not have time to realise the new ListView state before being asked to react to it. I suggest using the handler to set a flag (or fire a dummy control) so that the "check counting" takes place in the idle loop - keeping the code inside the handler to minimum is always a good idea.

Thanks Melba

I did as you suggested but was still getting incorrect counters. I manged to fix the problem by altering the switch statement in the WM_Notify.

Switch $i_Code
                Case $NM_CLICK, $NM_DBLCLK
                    Local $tInfo = DllStructCreate($tagNMITEMACTIVATE, $i_Param)
                    Local $iIndex = DllStructGetData($tInfo, "Index")

                    If $iIndex <> -1 Then
                        Local $iX = DllStructGetData($tInfo, "X")
                        Local $aRect = _GUICtrlListView_GetItemRect($g_id_MultipleSectionsGUI_lv, $iIndex, 2)

                        If ($iX < $aRect[0] - 3) And ($iX >= 5) Then
                            _GetItemChecked(_GUICtrlListView_GetItemChecked($g_id_MultipleSectionsGUI_lv, $iIndex) = 0)
                        ElseIf $i_Code = $NM_DBLCLK Then
                            If _GUICtrlListView_GetSelectedCount($g_id_MultipleSectionsGUI_lv) > 0 Then _RunDummy() ; Load the settings from the selected Office application.
                        EndIf
                    EndIf

Thanks Kylomas

I tried the code and pinched a few bits that made my code smaller, mostly the $t_NMHDR parts, saved a few DllStructGetData calls, didn't know you could do that.

The code works fine but I need single and double click detections and functions, single click for listview items selection, (this does nothing), single click to detect checkbox selections (selects item for deletion), and double click (selects the item and runs code after). I Initially had multi select for the list view, then deleted the selectedindices but like boxes better.

The main reason for counting how many boxes are checked is to disable the delete button if none are checked. I could leave the button enabled and show a msgbox to ask for a selection but I think it looks better if it's disabled.

Thanks

kylomas · January 12, 2015

benners,

Yes, I did nothing for Clicks besides enable/disable the del button. Was having trouble wading through your code. One last thing, if you want to detect a checked item without looping through the entire list or maintaining a counter it can be done like this...

edit: Extended LV styles should be set using the function due to collision of style value. Also, activity inside of the notification function should be minimized. The GUI may become unresponsive and some actions may cause calls to the function to cascade.

Kylomas,

I have updated the code with the new tweaks and added more comments detailing what I want to do. I still need the total count of checked items to set the sate of the delete button.

The $LVN_ITEMCHANGED event occurs to often to maintain a reliable counter, I was trying to knock something together maybe using $t_NMLISTVIEW.ActionX to get the X co-ord of the event but kept getting 0, which is my understanding of DllStructCreate calls and returns

There would still need to be checks for double clicks to fire the associated action. I have #### some of the comments, these are some suggestions that maybe better, some have been tested to work but may not be best practice, I have read Ternary operation has negative views.

Thanks

benners,

Yes, apologies for the $LVN_ITEMCHANGED code. Realized last night that I was going down the wrong path but could'nt get to a PC....

edit: Looks like the DEL btn portion is working. When I DBL click I get a msg box and the script ends. Still in developement? Also, why do you prefer maintaining a counter of checked items as opposed to spinning throught the items? I tested with 1000 items and could not detect a slowdown using the spinning method.

The code is unfinished, It's a re write of an old program I made a while ago called Office Integrator. I like to break things down into small functions so I do smaller test scripts then when the code is working change it into a function.

When the dbl click happens the next part will load values from an INI with the section header that is selected. and actions will be performed on the selected files.

I don't need to keep a count of the # of checked boxes, all I really need is code to check if any are unchecked then I can disable the Delete button, if not, it's enabled. The problem is when the _GetItemChecked is fired and run the checkbox isn't selected, I tried running a loop inside the function but it always returned wrong results. I could get rid of another Global var if I didn't need the $g_i_Checked.

The old function code is below, the counter method always seemed bulletproof.

Func _GetItemChecked($i_State)
    Local $i_ListView_Count = _GUICtrlListView_GetItemCount($g_id_MultipleSectionsGUI_lv)
    Local $i_ListView_Checked = 0

    MsgBox(0,'Before loop','check listview')

    For $i = 0 to $i_ListView_Count - 1
        if _GUICtrlListView_GetItemChecked($g_id_MultipleSectionsGUI_lv, $i) then $i_ListView_Checked +=1
    Next

    MsgBox(0,'After loop','check listview')

;~  If $i_State Then ; Item is checked
;~      $g_i_Checked += 1 ; Increase the selected count.
;~  Else ; Item unchecked.
;~      $g_i_Checked -= 1 ; Decrease the selected count.
;~  EndIf

;~ if not $g_i_Checked then
;~  GUICtrlSetState($id_MS_Delete_btn, $GUI_DISABLE)
;~ Else
;~  GUICtrlSetState($id_MS_Delete_btn, $GUI_ENABLE)
;~ EndIf

EndFunc   ;==>_GetItemChecked
