listview color selected item [SOLVED]

[rootx]

Work perfect. THX

Now I have to study your script....

One question again, how can I remove the dots in the edge?

[Melba23]

rootx,

What dots in what edge?

!! sorry, I meant the border around the selected item.

[Melba23]

rootx,

My _NoFocusLines UDF will do the trick for button, sllder, radio and checkbox  controls, but I have never tried to do the same for a ListView. Not a trivial task in my opinion.

If you know how it's close to being trivial. This is the example for GUICtrlCreateListView in the help file:

#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

  Local $idListview = GUICtrlCreateListView("col1  |col2|col3  ", 10, 10, 200, 150) ;,$LVS_SORTDESCENDING)

Thx, I tried the Melba UDF "NoFocusLines.au3" without success, now I tried your trick in my script but it does not work, I used it after Case $NM_CLICK, but the dotted focus persist.

So where did you get the idea that it could ever work on a ListView?

Right, your UDF works perfectly with other elements, and I used it on my script, THX for share your UDF Melba. I meant that I could not resolve the listview with the LarsJ trick. THX you guys.

[Melba23]

rootx,

Sorry for the misunderstanding - glad you found my UDF useful.

Did LarsJ's example work for you? If so, then post the code where you tried to integrate it into your script and perhaps we can spot where it is going wrong.

Sorry for the delay, I was sick, I need help to understand how to use LarsJ trick on my code, I tried without success, THX thanks for your patience.

rootx,

Firstly you are creating the ListView using the UDF, so you cannot use GUICtrlSendMsg - the creation function returns a handle and not a ControlID - you need to use _SendMessage instead.

Here is your script amended to use a HotKey to toggle the focus lines:
