GUI driven based on listview

I have been trying to figure out how to get my GUI to do what I want. I am including sample code below that has what I'm working with.

 

Essentially, what I want is for 4 list views to control the visibility and the ability to change data on a sub GUI. The primary gui has the 4 list views and a tab control (as well as 3 tabs). I want to be able to click on the first list view and have it activate the first tab and allow the values to be changed (the example only has a label). When the 2nd list view is clicked, I want it to disable the first tab and enable the 2nd tab for editing. When the 3rd list view is clicked, I want the 3rd tab to be activated and editable, and when the 4th list view is clicked, I want all tabs to be visible but not editable. Preferably, I'd like to have the 2nd and 3rd tab hidden if the first list view is selected, but I'll settle for it just being disabled.

 

Can anyone point out what I'm doing wrong? The disable commands I have before any of the case statements don't seem to do anything and I'm struggling to figure out how to tweak this to achieve what I'm looking for.

 

Here is my code: 

#include <WindowsConstants.au3> ; $WS_Maximizebox
#include <GUICombobox.au3>
#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <GuiListView.au3>

Jewtus,

You cannot "disable" a tab - the best I have ever come up with is preventing it being selected:

https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/162885-help-with-disablegray-out-one-tab/?do=findComment&comment=1185314

So you would need to set a flag when your ListViews 1-3 are clicked and only allow the relevant tab to be selected. When ListView 4 is selected you allow all tabs to be selected.

Any of my own code posted anywhere on the forum is available for use by others without any restriction of any kind._______My UDFs:

Spoiler

ArrayMultiColSort ---- Sort arrays on multiple columns
ChooseFileFolder ---- Single and multiple selections from specified path treeview listing
Date_Time_Convert -- Easily convert date/time formats, including the language used
ExtMsgBox --------- A highly customisable replacement for MsgBox
GUIExtender -------- Extend and retract multiple sections within a GUI
GUIFrame ---------- Subdivide GUIs into many adjustable frames
GUIListViewEx ------- Insert, delete, move, drag, sort, edit and colour ListView items
GUITreeViewEx ------ Check/clear parent and child checkboxes in a TreeView
Marquee ----------- Scrolling tickertape GUIs
NoFocusLines ------- Remove the dotted focus lines from buttons, sliders, radios and checkboxes
Notify ------------- Small notifications on the edge of the display
Scrollbars ----------Automatically sized scrollbars with a single command
StringSize ---------- Automatically size controls to fit text
Toast -------------- Small GUIs which pop out of the notification area

Well I want the tabs to stay active, just not the elements in the tab. I think I'm going to ditch the sub GUIs and just declare all the fields/values and then just activate/disable the elements on each tab when the listview is clicked.

 

Thanks for the info.

      Automate C legacy GUI - ControlCommand & ControlClick not working
      By Skysnake
      I need to automate a specific GUI from a legacy system written in C.
      The spy tool gives me this

      I use this code
      Local $swintit = WinGetTitle("[active]") ConsoleWrite("active Window " & $swintit & @CRLF) If $swintit = "FILES NOTES" Then ; If $swintit = "FILES NOTES" Then ; got Window, now atomate ConsoleWrite("got Window " & @CRLF) ; now focus, then click :) ;EditPaste ;ControlCommand("FILES NOTES", "", 404, $acno) ; paste acno GUICtrlSetState(404, $GUI_Focus) ControlCommand("FILES NOTES", "", 404, $acno) ; paste acno GUICtrlSetState(401, $GUI_Focus) ControlClick("FILES NOTES", "", 401, $acno) ; click okay EndIf ; If $swintit = "FILES NOTES" Then The idea is to paste the acno value into the edit box, then click an Okay button.
      I get a console write that the active Window is as expected, but my loop completes without ever writing anything into the GUI.
      I also tried the control ID as text "404" - same result
      What am I missing?

      Help with keeping cursor in an input field after enabling a button
      By crazyjts
      Hi all,
      I have the following snippet of code that sort of works but isn’t doing exactly what I want.
      expand popup #include <GuiConstants.au3> Global $gGUIWidth = 250 Global $gGUIHeight = 150 Initial() Func Initial()    ; Create the initial GUI    $BaseGUI = GUICreate("", $gGUIWidth, $gGUIHeight, -1, -1, -1, $WS_EX_TOPMOST + $WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW)    GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $BaseGUI)    ; Create a field for entering the current value    GUICtrlCreateLabel("Current Value:",  10, 10)    $CurrentValueFld = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 10, 40, 215, 20, $ES_NUMBER)    GUICtrlSetState($CurrentValueFld, $GUI_FOCUS)    ; Create Calculate button    Local $CalculateButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("Calculate", 10, 70, 75, 25)    GUICtrlSetState($CalculateButton, $GUI_DISABLE)    ; Watch the value field and determine if the value is greater than 0 and if so, enable Calculate button    $i = 0    Do       $CurrentValue = GUICtrlRead($CurrentValueFld)       If $CurrentValue > 0 Then          GUICtrlSetState($CalculateButton, $GUI_ENABLE + $GUI_FOCUS)          $i = 1       EndIf    until $i = 1    ;Loop until the user exits and check for ESC, "X", or Begin button    While 1       $InitialGUIMsg = GUIGetMsg()       If $InitialGUIMsg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then          Exit       EndIf    WEnd EndFunc  
      I want to be able to:
        Start with focus in the value field (it is doing this now)  Allow for more than one digit to be entered into the field (it is sort of doing this now but I have to bring focus back to the field) Enable the Calculate button and give focus to it once a value is entered into the value field (it is doing this now) but keep the cursor in the value field so the more digits can be entered (it is not doing this now) Be able to hit ESC or “X” to close the dialog at any time (this only works after I enter a digit in the value field Basically, I want to be able to allow the user to enter one or more digits and hit ENTER or SPACE (while the cursor is still in the value field) to push the Calculate button.  I assume I need to bring focus to the button but maybe I don't and can get away with assigning hotkeys for ENTER and SPACE to push the Calculate button while keeping focus in the value field.
      If you could, please add comments in your code as to what the changes are doing if they aren't obvious to a noobish programmer.  
      Thanks for any help you can offer on this.

      Hide all controls in GUI
      By TheOnlyOne
      Hello, I am trying to hide all the controls in my GUI. Is it possible to do an easier way than to use GUICtrlSetState on every single Control I have?
