[solved]Strange Listview behavior

[MattHiggs]

Ok.  So I have a listview in which I have created a context menu with several items and implemented Melba's "GUIListviewEx" udf as well.  Before I had incorporated the UDF into the script (and it was just the context menu), the context menu worked fine.  Similarly, if I incorporate the udf and take out the context menu control, the udf works fine.  But I run into problems when I try to incorporate the two.  When I try to include both together, just be selecting an item within the listview, the code for the first context menu object ($MenuItem1) is run repeatedly.  Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

MattHiggs,

The UDF and context menus should work nicely together - Example 6 in the UDF download zip shows this. I will take a look over the weekend when hosting our houseguests permit and see if I can spot anything.

Much appreciated, @Melba23

I would ditch Case and go with functions instead. An example:

Local $OptMenu1 = GUICtrlCreateContextMenu($LanIp)
GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Refresh", $OptMenu1, 0, 0)
GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1, "GetIp")
GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Copy IP to clipboard", $OptMenu1, 1, 0)
GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1, "LanIp")

And then you'd have the functions doing whatever it is.

@careca.  The snippet you shared uses GUIoneventmode.  My script does not.  You are essentially telling me to re-write the entire gui portion of the script, which isn't really an option.

Yes, that was my suggestion.

No matter what i do, i just cannot get a context menu with _GUICtrlListView_Create.

MattHiggs,

I have just been looking at the code and I agree with careca - GUICtrlCreateContextMenu requires the parent control to have been created by one of Autoit's internal GUICtrlCreate* functions as it takes a ControlId as a parameter. I do not see how it would work with a control created via one of the UDF functions, which all return a Windows handle.

So the lack of the context menu has nothing to do with my UDF - which pleases me, even if not you.

@Melba23.  Its not that I am dissatisfied with the udf.  I just wanted to understand what was going on.  After modifying the script so that the listview control is created using the built in autoit function, it worked perfectly.  Thank you for the help.

[Melba23]

MattHiggs,

Glad to hear it.
