List Box - ADD items and store selected in variable.


Recommended Posts

Good Morning,

I would love if someone could help me with the following;

I have this code provided by 'Water' to list groups within an OU from AD

Global $sGroupToProcess = "specify group to process here"
$aGroups = _AD_GetObjectsInOU("","(objectCategory=group)", 0, "displayname")

What i would like to do now is list these in a list box which has a search function to narrow down the results, and then finally be able to select on of the list items and store that in a variable for later use.

 

I hope this makes sense and i look forward to any help I receive.

Thanks

evansmike881,

This old script which I have posted many times allows you to enter a search string and limit the list content to those which match:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <Array.au3>
#Include <GuiListBox.au3>

Global $hGUI, $hInput, $hList, $sPartialData, $asKeyWords[100]

$hInput = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 5, 5, 190, 20)
$hList = GUICtrlCreateList("", 5, 30, 190, 325, BitOR(0x00100000, 0x00200000))

Let me know if you run into any difficulties incorporating this into your script.

evansmike881,

I do not use AD, so can you let me see an example of the array that is returned from water's code - I suggest using _ArrayDisplay and copying the data to a file which you can post (after redacting anything sensitive). That data is what replaces the $asKeyWords array in my script, so once I have an example I can see what might be going wrong.

Thanks Subz, although im getting a Subscript used on non-accessible variable. error on line 77

_AD_GetObjectsInOU('OU=three,OU=four,OU=five,DC=one,DC=two,DC=ad','(&(objectCategory=group)(displayName=*))', 2, "displayName")

Would that be correct if i wanted to look into the following OU?

one.two.ad\Three\four\five

Here is an example domain structure:

  • Domain.local (Domain)
  • Groups (OU)
    • Group One (OU)
      • Group Two (OU)
        • Group Three (OU)

If you wanted to only list objects in Group Three OU, your FQDN would be:

_AD_GetObjectsInOU('OU=Group Three,OU=Group Two,OU=Group One,OU=Groups,DC=domain,DC=local','(&(objectCategory=group)(displayName=*))', 2, "displayName")

Thanks for your reply Subz! Much appreciated...

I think i understand this now, although the below code still doesn't work to show me the groups from my specific OU, although works great when i don't try and specify a OU:

Func Keywords()
    Local $sGroups
    _AD_Open($User,$Pass,"","my.domain.com")
   Global $sOU = "OU=Group Three,OU=Group Two,OU=Group One,OU=Groups,DC=my,DC=domain,DC=com"
 
        $aGroups = _AD_GetObjectsInOU($sOU ,'(&(objectCategory=group)(displayName=*))', 2, "displayName")
    _AD_Close()
_ArrayDisplay($aGroups)
    $sGroups = _ArrayToString($aGroups, "|", 1)
    GUICtrlSetData($List1, $sGroups)
    $iCurrIndex = -1
    _GUICtrlListBox_SetCurSel($List1, $iCurrIndex)
EndFunc   ;==>Keywords

This would be for OU: 

my.domain.com\Groups\Group One\Group Two\Group Three

 

Thanks Again

In Active Directory Users and Computers management console, if you right click the OU and select properties and then the Attribute Editor tab, can you verify the distinguishedName attribute is the same as what you're adding.
