Recommended Posts

What kind og GUI item can I use to show some numbers in?

I would like to have the option not to have scrollbars and if possible have 3 columns and it sould also have the option to sort the content.

What would you suggest?

Yours sincerely

Kenneth.

Valnurat,

I would suggest a ListView.

Valnurat,

You only get scrollbars if there are too many items to fit into the control - and if you did not have the scrollbars you would not be able to see the items. Why is this such a breaking point?

Can you change the size of the font in the ListView?

Yes, if you create the ListView with GUICtrlCreateListView then GUICtrlSetFont will work.

And if you only want the top 20, then only load that many into the ListView - that way you will avoid scrollbars if you size the control correctly:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <GUIListView.au3>

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

$cLV = GUICtrlCreateListView("Col 0|Col 1|Col 2", 10, 10, 480, 480)

; Size columns
For $i = 0 To 2
    _GUICtrlListView_SetColumnWidth($cLV, $i, Int(480 / 3) - 2) ; avoid horizontal scrollbar by makign columns slightly smaller then total width
Next

; Fill ListView with 20 items
For $i = 0 To 19
    GUICtrlCreateListViewItem(StringFormat("%05i", $i) & "|" & StringFormat("%05i", $i) & "|" & StringFormat("%05i", $i), $cLV)
Next

; Now size ListView vertically
$hHeader = _GUICtrlListView_GetHeader($cLV)
$aSize = WinGetPos($hHeader)
$iHeaderHeight = $aSize[3] ; Header height
$aRect = _GUICtrlListView_GetItemRect($cLV, 0)
$iItemHeight = $aRect[3] - $aRect[1] ; Item height
$iTotalHeight = $iHeaderHeight + (20 * ($iItemHeight + .5)) ; Allow for the inter-item gaps
; Resize ListView
GuiCtrlSetPos($cLV, 10, 10, 480, $iTotalHeight)

GUISetState()

While 1
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Thank you M23.

I need to have 3 listview in my project.

1. To have a listview1 with 3 columns with vertical lines to seperate the columns and in designtime have vertical scrollbars and no horizontial. I want to know from the start, how it would look like when numbers are added.

2. To have another listview2 that only show the top 20 numbers out of 90 and when numbers are picked out from LV2 it should be transferred to listview3 and then the next number should be visible. E.g. In your example 0-19 are visible. If 7 is picked, it should still show the top 20 numbers in LV2 and 7 is moved to LV3.

For now it seems that the listview only show scrollbars if it is necessary. Or do you have another suggestion?

Yours sincerely

Kenneth.

Valnurat,

How about this:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <GUIListView.au3>

$iMax = 90

Global $aMainArray[$iMax]
For $i = 0 To $iMax - 1
    $aMainArray[$i] = StringFormat("%05i", $i) & "|" & StringFormat("%05i", $i) & "|" & StringFormat("%05i", $i)
Next

$hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 900, 500)

; Create ListView 1
$cLV_1 = GUICtrlCreateListView("Col 0|Col 1|Col 2", 10, 10, 280, 480)
; Size columns
For $i = 0 To 2
    _GUICtrlListView_SetColumnWidth($cLV_1, $i, Int(280 / 3) - 2) ; avoid horizontal scrollbar by making columns slightly smaller then total width
Next

; Fill ListView with all items
For $i = 0 To $iMax - 1
    GUICtrlCreateListViewItem($aMainArray[$i], $cLV_1)
Next

; Now calculate ListView 2 vertical size
$hHeader = _GUICtrlListView_GetHeader($cLV_1)
$aSize = WinGetPos($hHeader)
$iHeaderHeight = $aSize[3] ; Header height
$aRect = _GUICtrlListView_GetItemRect($cLV_1, 0)
$iItemHeight = $aRect[3] - $aRect[1] ; Item height
$iTotalHeight = $iHeaderHeight + (20 * ($iItemHeight + .5)) ; Allow for the inter-item gaps

; Create ListView 2
$cLV_2 = GUICtrlCreateListView("Col 0|Col 1|Col 2", 300, 10, 280, $iTotalHeight)
For $i = 0 To 2
    _GUICtrlListView_SetColumnWidth($cLV_2, $i, Int(280 / 3) - 2)
Next
; Fill with top 20 of array
For $i = 0 To 19
    GUICtrlCreateListViewItem($aMainArray[$i], $cLV_2)
Next

; Create button to move element from ListView 2 to ListView 3
$cMove = GUICtrlCreateButton("Move Selected", 300, 430, 280, 60)

; Create ListView 3
$cLV_3 = GUICtrlCreateListView("Col 0|Col 1|Col 2", 600, 10, 280, 480)
; Size columns
For $i = 0 To 2
    _GUICtrlListView_SetColumnWidth($cLV_3, $i, Int(280 / 3) - 2)
Next

GUISetState()

While 1
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $cMove
            $sText = _GUICtrlListView_GetItemTextString($cLV_2)
            If $sText Then
                ; Add to ListView 3
                GUICtrlCreateListViewItem($sText, $cLV_3)
            EndIf
            ; Find element in main array
            $iIndex = _ArraySearch($aMainArray, $sText)
            If $iIndex <> - 1 Then
                ; Delete it
                _ArrayDelete($aMainArray, $iIndex)
            EndIf
            ; Now clear ListViews 1 & 2
            _GUICtrlListView_BeginUpdate($cLV_1)
            _GUICtrlListView_BeginUpdate($cLV_2)
            _GUICtrlListView_DeleteAllItems($cLV_1)
            _GUICtrlListView_DeleteAllItems($cLV_2)
            ; And reload with all / the top 20 elements in the main array
            $iMax = UBound($aMainArray) - 1
            For $i = 0 To $iMax
                GUICtrlCreateListViewItem($aMainArray[$i], $cLV_1)
                If $i < 20 Then
                    GUICtrlCreateListViewItem($aMainArray[$i], $cLV_2)
                EndIf
            Next
            _GUICtrlListView_EndUpdate($cLV_1)
            _GUICtrlListView_EndUpdate($cLV_2)
    EndSwitch
WEnd

That seems to do what you require.

Valnurat,

Is it possible to have vertical lines between the column all the way down in listview 1

You can apply the $LVS_EX_GRIDLINES style, but that gives you vertical and horizontal lines.

12 hours ago, Valnurat said:

can you sort listview 3?

Yes, the _GUICtrlListView_SimpleSort example in the Help file shows you how to do it.

1 hour ago, Valnurat said:

Listview1 should have 3 columns, Listview 2 and 3 should only have 1 column

Then amend the code used when you create the ListViews 2 & 3.

And it could be nice if there was no header in the listviews.

Just apply the $LVS_NOCOLUMNHEADER style.
