Unselect listbox

[HighGuy]

Hi,

I have multiple listboxes in my GUI. If I click on one of them I want the others to be unselected/not marked. How can I achieve this? I did not find anything with GUICtrlSetStat().

TIA,

HighGuy

Gary/CyberSlug's GUIList.au3 UDF library offered in this thread should help you out with this.

Edit: Actually, I believe that this is included with the beta version of AutoIt, although the copy on offer at the thread linked above is more up-to-date.

Yes, I already had a look at GUIList.au3, but the function that would help me with my problem (_GUICtrlListSetSel) is unfortunately only valid for multi-selection list boxes .

The only solution I have at the moment is to refill the list with no default selection given to GUICtrlSetData().

Any other ideas?

The thread linked above contains some discussion about a _GUICtrlListSelectIndex() function.

Use this message only with single-selection list boxes.

You cannot use it to set or remove a selection in a multiple-selection list box.

To me, this implies that you may be able to use it to remove a selection in a single-selection list box. I would suggest giving it a try with some non-existent index (like -1) and observing the result; Gary would most likely be happy to offer advice to you in that thread if he doesn't see this one.

Indeed it works with _GUICtrlListSelectIndex($h_listbox, -1) . Thank you for the hint Alex and thank you Gary for this new function!

Maybe it would make sense to create a new funtion _GUICtrlListUnSelect($h_listbox) that uses this call.

I'm getting the following error(s) when I include the Guilist from the beta.

C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\Include\guilist.au3(385,37) : ERROR: DllStructCreate(): undefined function.

Local $p = DllStructCreate ($RECT)

Local $array = StringSplit(DllStructGetData ($p, $left)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^

C:\WINNT\Profiles\scott_lawrence\Desktop\GUIWrapper.au3 - 4 error(s), 0 warning(s)

I'm not using any functions from it at the moment.

I've narrowed it down to guilist.au3, because I get the same error when it's just a blank au3 file with the only the include line.

Please advise.

Thanks.

The _GUICtrlListSetSel() method to unselect in the list box isn't working for me.

Here's an example:

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
#include <GuiList.au3>

GLOBAL $MESSAGE = "The following buttons have been clicked"
GUICreate("My GUI list"); will create a dialog box that when displayed is centered

$add=GUICtrlCreateButton ("toggle", 10,150,75,25)
Dim $ADDRESS_LIST = GUICtrlCreateList('', 10, 10, 145, 105,BitOR($WS_BORDER,$WS_VSCROLL,$LBS_MULTIPLESEL,$LBS_DISABLENOSCROLL))
;~ GUICtrlSetLimit(-1,200); to limit horizontal scrolling
GUICtrlSetData(-1,'This|Doesnt|work|for|me')
;~ $close=GUICtrlCreateButton ("my closing button", 64,160,175,25)

GUISetState ()

$msg = 0
While $msg <> $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()

    Select
        case $msg = $add
            _GUICtrlListSetSel($ADDRESS_LIST,0)
    EndSelect
Wend

Any ideas as to why? Edited May 11, 2006 by strate

_GUICtrlListBox_SetCurSel($Listbox, -1)

[AndreyS]

Tell me, please, how to reset the selection, if the property is used ListBox $LBS_EXTENDEDSEL

So many functions for working with ListBox, but there is no function deselect all selected items.

_GUICtrlListBox_SetCurSel($Listbox, -1)

This method unfortunately does not work with multiple choice.

Thanks.

AndreyS,

Get the list of selected items and deselect them individually:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

#include <GuiListBox.au3>

$sText = "A|B|C|D|E|F|G|H|I|J|K|L|M"

$hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 500, 500)

$cList = GUICtrlCreateList("", 10, 10, 300, 300, $LBS_EXTENDEDSEL)
GUICtrlSetData($cList, $sText)

$cUnSel = GUICtrlCreateButton("UnSel", 10, 450, 80, 30)

GUISetState()

While 1
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $cUnSel

            $aSel = _GUICtrlListBox_GetSelItems($cList)
            For $i = 1 To $aSel[0]
                ConsoleWrite($aSel[$i] & @CRLF)
                _GUICtrlListBox_SetSel($cList, $aSel[$i], False)
            Next
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Well, yes, if there is no special function then the only way.
Thank Melba32, for the tip!

Fantastic! Thanks Melba! I was stumped trying to do this.
