Get Index of clicked ListView item

[maniootek 3]

What would be a best method to reduce CPU/memory usage to read index of clicked item from ListView?

I have modified example script from help file and my current code is:

expandcollapse popup

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> ;$GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
#include <GuiListView.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3> ;$WM_NOTIFY

Global $g_hListView

Example()

Func Example()
    Local $hGUI, $hImage
    $hGUI = GUICreate("(UDF Created) ListView Create", 400, 300)

    $g_hListView = _GUICtrlListView_Create($hGUI, "", 2, 2, 394, 268)
    _GUICtrlListView_SetExtendedListViewStyle($g_hListView, BitOR($LVS_EX_GRIDLINES, $LVS_EX_FULLROWSELECT, $LVS_EX_SUBITEMIMAGES))
    GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

    GUIRegisterMsg($WM_NOTIFY, "WM_NOTIFY")

    ; Add columns
    _GUICtrlListView_InsertColumn($g_hListView, 0, "Column 1", 100)
    _GUICtrlListView_InsertColumn($g_hListView, 1, "Column 2", 100)
    _GUICtrlListView_InsertColumn($g_hListView, 2, "Column 3", 100)

    ; Add items
    _GUICtrlListView_AddItem($g_hListView, "Row 1: Col 1")
    _GUICtrlListView_AddSubItem($g_hListView, 0, "Row 1: Col 2", 1)
    _GUICtrlListView_AddSubItem($g_hListView, 0, "Row 1: Col 3", 2)
    _GUICtrlListView_AddItem($g_hListView, "Row 2: Col 1")
    _GUICtrlListView_AddSubItem($g_hListView, 1, "Row 2: Col 2", 1)
    _GUICtrlListView_AddItem($g_hListView, "Row 3: Col 1")

    ; Loop until the user exits.
    Do
    Until GUIGetMsg() = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
    GUIDelete()
EndFunc   ;==>Example

Func WM_NOTIFY($hWnd, $iMsg, $wParam, $lParam)
    #forceref $hWnd, $iMsg, $wParam
    Local $hWndFrom, $iIDFrom, $iCode, $tNMHDR, $hWndListView, $tInfo
    ; Local $tBuffer
    $hWndListView = $g_hListView
    If Not IsHWnd($g_hListView) Then $hWndListView = GUICtrlGetHandle($g_hListView)

    $tNMHDR = DllStructCreate($tagNMHDR, $lParam)
    $hWndFrom = HWnd(DllStructGetData($tNMHDR, "hWndFrom"))
    $iIDFrom = DllStructGetData($tNMHDR, "IDFrom")
    $iCode = DllStructGetData($tNMHDR, "Code")
    Switch $hWndFrom
        Case $hWndListView
            Switch $iCode
                Case $NM_CLICK ; Sent by a list-view control when the user clicks an item with the left mouse button
                    $tInfo = DllStructCreate($tagNMITEMACTIVATE, $lParam)
                    $index = DllStructGetData($tInfo, "Index")
                    MsgBox(0,0,$index)
            EndSwitch
    EndSwitch
    Return $GUI_RUNDEFMSG
EndFunc   ;==>WM_NOTIFY

other method is to check in a loop if new item was selected via _GUICtrlListView_GetItemSelected()

expandcollapse popup

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> ;$GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
#include <GuiListView.au3>

Example()

Func Example()
    Local $idListview
    Local $last_selected_item_index = -1

    GUICreate("ListView Get Item Selected", 400, 300)
    $idListview = GUICtrlCreateListView("", 2, 2, 394, 268)
    GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

    ; Add columns
    _GUICtrlListView_AddColumn($idListview, "Items", 100)

    ; Add items
    _GUICtrlListView_AddItem($idListview, "Item 1")
    _GUICtrlListView_AddItem($idListview, "Item 2")
    _GUICtrlListView_AddItem($idListview, "Item 3")

    ; Loop until the user exits.
    Do
        $iCount = _GUICtrlListView_GetItemCount($idListview)
        For $i = 0 To $iCount - 1
            If _GUICtrlListView_GetItemSelected($idListview, $i) Then
                $now_selected_item_index = $i
                If $last_selected_item_index <> $now_selected_item_index Then
                    MsgBox(0, 0, $now_selected_item_index)
                    $last_selected_item_index = $now_selected_item_index
                    ContinueLoop
                EndIf
            EndIf
        Next
    Until GUIGetMsg() = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
    GUIDelete()
EndFunc   ;==>Example

The first one.

Ok thanks for answer. Anyway, I have tried to add _GUITreeViewEx_RegMsg() from @Melba23 TreeViewEx UDF together with my first example byt unfortunatelly they don't work together (only one which was defined in code as the last one). I am new with this type of "GUIRegisterMsg" and I don't know why only one working at time. Is there some limitation to use only one RegisterMsg?

First example also crash my _ArrayDisplay function so I am staying away of this solution. Second example cause no erorrs.

AFAIK you can only register a MSG ID to a single function...however you could write a notify function that would handle all of the controls/events you need.  

How I might approach it would be to copy the notification function from the GUITreeViewEX UDF (_GUITreeViewEx_WM_NOTIFY_Handler) to a new Notify function (i.e. _WM_NOTIFY), register the event yourself and add the functionality you need to it.

Just for an example, in this script I made I use a custom _WM_NOTIFY function to handle multiple controls on different GUIs.
