If you want to change the content, you must use a UDF function - _GUIListViewEx_ChangeItem (Programatic change of specified ListView item) seems a likely candidate.

Thanks for the warning.  I hope I would have noticed that anyway, but I will now.

Thanks again.

BTW, this is probably a function of my not being as familiar with the forum as I might be, but -- I searched around some, and I couldn't find the dedicated GUIListViewEx UDF thread ...

Hi again Melba23 (or anyone else, but I imagine it's going to be M23 who will chime in.  I hope ...)

  1. Thank you for your help so far.
  2. Apologies for not posting to the dedicated GUIListViewEx UDF thread.  I still haven't convinced myself that I know for sure where it is.  (I see there is a lengthy thread in Home > AutoIt v3 > AutoIt Example Scripts, currently titled "GUIListViewEx - BugFix Version 18 Apr 20".  Is that it?  Just post a follow-up to the end of the thread?)

3.

I'm slowly figuring this out.  My current hangup is defining custom behavior for double-click and right-click, but retaining internal drag and drop.

By default (with no custom WM_NOTIFY handler), drag-and-drop works.  (I have $iAdded specified to be 192 to disable external drag/drop).

But if I define a WM_NOTIFY handler, drag/drop stops working.  I instruct _GUIListViewEx_MsgRegister() not to re-register the handler, as directed.  And within the handler, I call _GUIListViewEx_WM_NOTIFY_Handler(), and return what it returns.

Now my handler is called for double-click and right-click, but drag/drop now doesn't work.  I'd thought (hoped?) that calling the UDF handler at the end of my custom handler would cause drag/drop to be retained.

Sample code follows.

#include <GuiConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <GuiListView.au3>
#include <SendMessage.au3>
#include "GuiListViewEx.au3"

    global $g_GUI = GUICreate("Test", 520, 360, 300, 50)
    $lv = CreateListView()

    $a = _GUIListViewEx_ReadToArray($lv, 1)
    $lvx = _GUIListViewEx_Init($lv, $a, 1, 0, True, 192)
    _GUIListViewEx_MsgRegister _
    ( _
        False, _    ; NOTIFY
        True, _     ; MOUSEMOVE
        True, _     ; LBUTTONUP
        True _      ; SYSCOMMAND
    )

    $b_new = GUICtrlCreateButton("New",     10, 320, 50, 30)
    $b_mod = GUICtrlCreateButton("Modify",  80, 320, 50, 30)
    $b_del = GUICtrlCreateButton("Delete", 150, 320, 50, 30)

    GUISetState(@sw_show)
    GUIRegisterMsg($WM_NOTIFY, WM_NOTIFY)

    while True
        $msg = GUIGetMsg()

        $index = _GUICtrlListView_GetSelectedIndices($lv)
        $id = ($index <> "") ? _GUICtrlListView_GetItem($lv, $index)[3] : ""
        select
            case $msg = $b_new:
                if ($index <> "") then debug(StringFormat("   New [%s]", $id))
            case $msg = $b_mod:
                if ($index <> "") then debug(StringFormat("Modify [%s]", $id))
            case $msg = $b_del:
                if ($index <> "") then debug(StringFormat("Delete [%s]", $id))

            case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
                Exit
        endselect

        $vRet = _GUIListViewEx_EventMonitor()
        If @error Then
            debug(StringFormat("Event error: %d", @error))
        EndIf
        Switch @extended
            Case 0
                ; No event detected
            Case 4
                debug(StringFormat("Dragged - From:To [%s]", $vRet))
        EndSwitch
    wend


    ; --------------------------
    func CreateListView()

        $style = BitOR($LVS_DEFAULT, $WS_BORDER)
        $lv = _GUICtrlListView_Create($g_GUI, "", 10, 10, 500, 300, $style)
        $ex_style = BitOR($LVS_EX_FULLROWSELECT, $LVS_EX_BORDERSELECT)
        _GUICtrlListView_SetExtendedListViewStyle($lv, $ex_style)

        _GUICtrlListView_InsertColumn($lv, 0, "A", 60)
        _GUICtrlListView_InsertColumn($lv, 1, "B", 60)
        _GUICtrlListView_InsertColumn($lv, 2, "C", 100)
        _GUICtrlListView_InsertColumn($lv, 3, "D", 274)
        _GUICtrlListView_SetTextBkColor($lv, 0xebefe4)

        local $a = ["Foo", "Bar", "Baz"]
        for $i = 0 to ubound($a) - 1
            _GUICtrlListView_AddItem($lv, $a[$i], $i)
            for $j = 1 to 3
                _GUICtrlListView_AddSubItem($lv, $i, "---", $j)
            next
        next

        return $lv

    endfunc


    ; --------------------------
    func WM_NOTIFY($hWnd, $iMsg, $wParam, $lParam)

        local $hdr   = DllStructCreate($tagNMHDR, $lParam)
        local $from  = HWnd(DllStructGetData($hdr, "hWndFrom"))
        local $ctrl  = DllStructGetData($hdr, "IDFrom")
        local $event = DllStructGetData($hdr, "Code")

        switch $event
            case $NM_DBLCLK
                debug('Double click')
            case $NM_RCLICK
                debug('Right click')
        endswitch

        return _GUIListViewEx_WM_NOTIFY_Handler($hWnd, $iMsg, $wParam, $lParam)

    endfunc


    ; --------------------------
    func debug($s)
        ConsoleWrite($s & @CRLF)
    endfunc

I trust I misunderstand in some (hopefully not too awful) way?

Thanks again.

DrJohn,

You rang?

That thread is indeed the one I meant - I will probably move your 2 threads there IDC.

As to your problem, it seems that it is caused by the UDF WM_NOTIFY handler not returning $GUI_RUNDEFMSG as a default. In the Guide I suggest returning the UDF return value as this is absolutely necessary when using colours or single item selection, but in this case it seems NOT returning  $GUI_RUNDEFMSG for other messages prevents the UDF from playing nicely when placed inside another handler. This is not something that has arisen before - I can only assume that it occurs because you are actioning the same messages as the UDF (double and right clicks).

Anyway, I have modified the UDF to return $GUI_RUNDEFMSG as a default when not dealing with colours and that appears to have solved the problem and returning the UDF handler return from within your own handler now leaves the drag'ndrop functionality working. So thank you very much for having found this bug .

Here is a Beta version of the UDF so you can check if it works for you - if it does than I will release a new version in the near future:

Fascinating.  Didn't mean to be a renegade ...

Hi again Melba.  Hope I found the right place.  😁

Thanks again for the quick drag-drop/WM_NOTIFY fix.  No problems with that so far.

So what I'm basically doing is this:  I had an existing pretty well filled-out script that used ListView's, and decided I wanted to switch over to ListViewEx.  In light of the warning about 'script-breaking changes', rather than start to overhaul my existing script, I created a small test script (which you have seen) which mimics the behavior of the larger script.  I'm going through and identifying all the ListView functions I'm using, and making sure they still seem to work with ListViewEx (in a smaller, more manageable and isolated environment).

All seems to be well.  Basically, everything I had been doing I seem to also be able to do with ListViewEx.  There are a couple things, though -- they seem to work properly, but I'm wondering if they aren't questionable behavior:

  1. Any reason I can't add and delete items using the standard functions [_GUICtrlListView_AddItem(), _GUICtrlListView_DeleteItem()] after I create the ListView with _GUICtrlListView_Create(), as long as I do it before I call _GUIListViewEx_ReadToArray() and _GUIListViewEx_Init()?
  2. I have $LVS_EX_FULLROWSELECT set in my ListView, and I'm not doing any individual cell selection or editing.  Will _GUICtrlListView_GetSelectedIndices() still work to determine the index of the currently selected row?
  3. I also in some instances want to programmatically set which row is selected, so I use _GUICtrlListView_SetItemSelected().  Is that risky?

As I say, these things do seem to work.  But I'd be concerned if you thought they shouldn't ...

Thanks again!  (And BTW, lest I forget to ever say so -- this UDF is pretty amazing.)

DrJohn,

1. No reason at all. It is only once the ListView has been initialized that you MUST use the UDF functions to modify it - that is because the UDF maintains an internal array of what the ListView contains and gets very confused if there is any difference between that internal representation and the real thing!

2. I believe so - give it a try and see.

3. If you are not getting involved in colour, etc, I see no reason why not.

Hi, i dont seem to find any function to change fonts.

Any way to change the font? color, size, font itself?

PS: when adding the flag 32 to _GUIListViewEx_Init to allow for colouring of items, the listview becomes unresponsive, and everytime i click an item, it becomes selected as if i was pressing control+rmb in windows explorer, with this flag, i can basically select multiple items and the listview becomes unusable.

any way around this?

Thanks in advance

careca,

You can change the font size and family for the entire ListView by using GUICtrlSetFont - you cannot change the font size and family for individual items.

Changing the colour of items is one of the functionalities of the UDF - as shown in Example 6 of the download. If you post the code which is causing you problems I will take a look and see if I can see why.

FWIW, I haven't been able to get GUICtrlSetFont() to work when the ListView is created with _GUICtrlListView_Create().  It only seems to work when the ListView is created with GUICtrlCreateListView().

I tried passing the return value from _GUICtrlListView_Create() directly to GUICtrlSetFont(), and that didn't work.  I think _GUICtrlListView_Create() returns a handle, not a control ID.  So I tried getting the control ID from the handle with _WinAPI_GetDlgCtrlID() and passing that to GUICtrlSetFont().  That didn't seem to work either.

I ended up using WinAPI_SetFont() to set the font for the ListView I created with _GUICtrlListView_Create().

DrJohn,

If you create controls with the native AutoIt fucntions (GUICtrlCreate*) then the return is a ControlID - an index to an internal AutoIt array which tracks all controls created in this way. You can then use this ControlID in all the other native AutoIt functions (e.g. GUICtrlSetFont). This is analogous to the index returned when you initialise a ListView with my UDF - you use that index when using most other UDF functions.

If you create controls using the UDF functions (_GUICtrl*_Create) then you get a Windows handle returned - which you cannot use in the native GUI modifying functions. So you need to use other UDF functions to do so - as you discovered.

All clear now?

I see why a windows handle wouldn't work with native gui functions.

I have to look at this, maybe change the create function to the native one.

I only realy used this one because it is present in your example, so i assumed it wouldn't work otherwise.

Thanks for the clarification.

PS: Managed to change the font, once i changed the listview create, to the native one.

Yes, that makes sense.

Even though I knew GUICtrlCreateListView() returns a Control ID and the UDF function returns a window handle, I would have sworn there were instances where I ran GUICtrl* functions on the return from the UDF function and it worked anyway.  At some point, even though I didn't understand it, I formed the impression that the functions in question just took care of it for you.

But I can't find any such instances in my code now.  So either I replaced them, or I dreamed it.

In any event, there doesn't seem to be any UDF function to change the font of a UDF-created ListView.  So I guess using _WinAPI_SetFont() is my only option.  It seems to work, so I'm not knocking it.

DrJohn,

It is quite common to use ControlIds as parameters in the UDF functions - the UDF should take care of that internally using GUICtrlGetHandle if required - but you have never been able to use handles as parameters in the native GUICtrl* functions as they are not set up that way.

Anyway, further discussion in another thread please as we have moved a long way from my UDF.

Hi again Melba.

I think I may have found a bug.  Although I wouldn't bet the farm (even if I had one) that it's not something I'm doing wrong.

_GUIListViewEx_InsertSpec() doesn't seem to handle the case where GUIDataSeparatorChar is set to something other than the default "|".  This only happens when the original ListView is created with GUICtrlCreateListView(), not if it is created with _GUICtrlListView_Create().

Attached is a script that demonstrates.  Steps to reproduce:

  1. Ensure that the Opt("GUIDataSeparatorChar", Chr(31)) statement on line #7 is not commented out
  2. Ensure that line #99 is commented out, and line #100 is not, so that the ListView is created with GUICtrlCreateListView()
  3. Run script
  4. Click on the New button

(Similar problem occurs if you drag and drop -- I presume because that uses _GUIListViewEx_InsertSpec() also?)

Switch out line #99 for line #100, and it works as expected.

/John

 

Addendum:  Seems to be happier if I replace "|" on line #5225 of GUIListViewEx.au3 with Opt("GUIDataSeparatorChar").  Wouldn't presume I could safely change the file myself, though, other than for testing purposes.

DrJohn,

I think you have indeed found a bug - congratulations!

The UDF actually looks for a change in delimiter as it intialises a ListView and <should> use any new user-set delimiter when writing content in native-created ListViews. I have found a couple of other places in the UDF where there might be problems as well as the one you mentioned and I am looking into the matter now. Stay tuned.

M23

Edit: This seems to work correctly for me - can you please confirm: GUIListViewEx_Mod.au3

Is the order in which the register is called, important?

I can make this work if i move the creation of the items to before the init function.

But as it is i get an error, trying to understand what is the process to call each line.

Struggling trying to convert my player's listview into this udf, mostly for the background color in rows, and failing miserably, then in a separate example, it kinda works, so there must be something interfering with the udf.

Melba is obviously going to be a much better authority on this (as well as most anything else) than me.  But I think (as it was explained to me) once having put your ListView under control of GUIListViewEx, anything you do that changes its contents must use a GUIListViewEx function.  So populating the ListView with _GUICtrlListView_AddItem() won't work.

You can add to the end of a GUIListViewEx-controlled ListView with _GUIListViewEx_InsertSpec($iLV, -1, ...).

This works for me:

#include <GuiConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include "GUIListViewEx.au3"
#include <Array.au3>

Move the GUISetState() call after the ListView is populated, and it isn't so flicker-y.  In fact, move it to just before the message loop, and it isn't flicker-y at all.
