Hi,

I'm new to AutoIt and I like what I've seen so far :)

I'm having trouble populating a ListView box. This is the routine I've written for this purpose:

; ... Code cut for clarity

; Create Display Area

$ListView=GUICtrlCreateListView("",5,40,390,200,$LVS_NOCOLUMNHEADER)
$c = StringSplit($Comps,"|"); $c now = 1 dimensional array with 50 elements
SetList($c)

GUISetState (@SW_SHOW)

; ... Code cut for clarity

Func SetList(ByRef $a)
local $size, $iter
$size = UBound($a, 1)
Global $ListItem[$size]
for $iter = 1 to $size - 1
   $ListItem[$iter] = GUICtrlCreateListViewItem($a[$iter], $ListView)
next
EndFunc

No text is placed in the ListView box but a vertical scroll bar is present!

What am I doing wrong.

I've read the help file (which didn't help me in this case) and searched the forum but didn't find any posts with this problem.

What does the variable $Comps consist of?

My assumption is your array wasn't an array... anyway.. I cleaned it up a tad... take a look at this to see if it helps
#include <guiconstants.au3>
$Comps = ''
For $i = 1 To 50
    $Comps = $Comps & $i & '|'
Next
$MAINGUI = GUICreate('main', 400, 250)
$ListView = GUICtrlCreateListView("BLAH", 5, 40, 390, 200, $LVS_NOCOLUMNHEADER)
$c = StringSplit(StringTrimRight($Comps, 1),"|"); $c now = 1 dimensional array with 50 elements
SetList($c)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
While 1
    If GUIGetMsg() = - 3 Then Exit
    Sleep(10)
WEnd

; ... Code cut for clarity
Func SetList($a)
    Local $size = UBound($a)
    Global $ListItem[$size]
    For $iter = 1 To $size - 1
        $ListItem[$iter] = GUICtrlCreateListViewItem($a[$iter], $ListView)
    Next
EndFunc ;==>SetList

Thanks for the replies :) They are very much appreciated :mellow:

I haven't studied them in any detail yet and I will post back here in a few days.

After posting my first message we had a family tragedy and this will have to take a back seat for a while.

Thanks again for your replies.

Hi,

to take my mind off things I've come back to this. Here is the full piece of code. The answer didn't work I'm afraid so I must assume I'm doing something silly.

An ini file is needed but if it is not present it will be created.

Somehow or other I've now managed to break the combo box as well.

Here's the full piece of code:

#cs
================================================================
GUI for SystemSherlock from www.kephyr.com/systemsherlocklite/index.phtml
This is for my own personal use.
If $DEBUG is True dummy arrays for testing are created.
Now I've broken the Combo Box :(
================================================================
#ce
#include <GUIConstants.au3>
#Include <process.au3>
#Include <file.au3>
#Include <Array.au3>
#Include <process.au3>
; Set Constants
Const $true = 1, $false = 0
; Set options
Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1)
$DEBUG = $true

; Find Previous Scans - read List Of Files From ...\comp
if $DEBUG = $false then
    ReadCompFiles()
else
    $Comps = Debug_SetDummyData(10)
endif
_ArrayDisplay($Comps, "$Comps")

; Find GUI start up settings
$IniFile = "System Sherlock.ini"
if not FileExists($IniFIle) then
    IniWrite($iniFile, "Ignore", "UseIgnoreFile", "0")
    IniWrite($iniFile, "Ignore", "IgnoreFile", "ignore.txt")
endif

$IgnoreStatus = IniRead($IniFile, "Ignore", "UseIgnoreFile", "Not Found")
$IgnoreFile = IniRead($IniFile, "Ignore", "IgnoreFile", "Not Found")

BuildGUI()
GUISetState()
; Run the GUI for 10 seconds and exit, I keep forgetting to close the windows :)
sleep(10000)
#cs
================================================================
BuildGUI
Created Vars:
   Global(s):

      ignorelabel   : CtrlID : label for ignore block

;
; Ignore Section
$IgnoreSelect = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("Use Ignore File", 5, 10)
GUICtrlSetState($Ignoreselect, $IgnoreStatus); Set box to the value in INI file
$ignorelabel = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Ignore File Location:", 5, 35)
$IgnoreFileID = GUICtrlCreateInput($IgnoreFile, 5, 55, 300, 20)
$IgnoreBrowse = GUICtrlCreateButton("Browse", 325, 55, 50, 20)
GUICtrlSetOnEvent($IgnoreSelect, "ToggleIgnore")
; Set initial state of ignore block : ToggleIgnore fails until initialisation.
if $IgnoreStatus = 0 then
    GUICtrlSetState($IgnoreLabel,  $GUI_DISABLE)
    GUICtrlSetState($IgnoreFileID, $GUI_DISABLE)
    GUICtrlSetState($IgnoreBrowse, $GUI_DISABLE)
endif

; Comparison File Choice
$CompFileCombo = GUICtrlCreateCombo("Choose a file to compare", 5, 85, 390)
GUICtrlSetData($CompFileCombo, $Comps); Why doesn't this work now?
GUICtrlSetOnEvent($CompFileCombo, "GetCompFile")

; Create Result Display Area
; This control will not be populated until a scan has been completed hence the need for
; a dummy array for testing

$ListView = GUICtrlCreateListView("", 5, 115, 390, 200, $LVS_NOCOLUMNHEADER)

Hi,

I've fixed the ListView problem, I was using an empty string in:

GUICtrlCreateListView ( "text", left, top, width, height, style)

for the text. Never thought it would be something as simple as that. I said I was doing something silly.

Why was this causing problems?

Just got to try and figure out why the combo box is broken now :(

Edit: I was using an array rather than a delimited string :)

Trust me, I know what I'm doing :think:

I'll be back, I will have so many more questions to ask ;)
