Deleting listview by index returned by _GUICtrlListView_AddItem()

[AlecSadler]

Hello friends, I am trying to create an listview which is updated from time to time to show the online/offline status of a user.

I am trying to delete items in the listview by the index returned by _GUICtrlListView_AddItem() however this doesn't seem to work.

Instead I'm having to use _GUICtrlListView_FindInText()

Below is the snippet of code I would like to get to work, however for some reason it's not working. What am I doing wrong?

Func _getcontacts()

        $oHTTP.Open("GET", "https://pdglobal.net?sid=contactslist&session=" & $session, False)
        $oHTTP.Send()
        $contacts = $oHTTP.ResponseText
    $clist = StringSplit(StringTrimLeft($contacts, 1), "|")
    $index = 0

    _GUICtrlListBox_ResetContent($List2)
    For $i = 1 To $clist[0]
        If $clist[$i] <> "" Then
            $conversations[0][0] += 1
            $conversations[$i][0] = $clist[$i]
            $conversations[$i][2] = _bang(FileRead(IniRead(@ScriptDir & "\settings.ini", "userkeys", $clist[$i], "NA")))
            $conversations[$i][3] = 0
            $conversations[$i][4] = _GUICtrlListView_AddItem($List2, $clist[$i], 1) ;store the index here
            $index += 1
        EndIf
    Next
EndFunc   ;==>_getcontacts

$index_old = _GUICtrlListView_GetHotItem($list2)

The helpfile contains invalid description for _GUICtrlListView_AddItem() it says it returns an index but it really returns an ID

[AlecSadler]

However now I am having a new problem. When I re-create the strings in the listbox it's not maping the new IDs to the array, so it re-creates the whole listview over again.

[AlecSadler]

I found out the problem I'm having is that the listview automatically assigns the new string to the last index of the listview, so as I delete and re-add values the value of the current listview is always the same... any workarounds for this?

[AlecSadler]

Fixed this problem by using _GUICtrlListView_MapIndexToID() and _GUICtrlListView_MapIDToIndex() interchangeably
