Del 0 Report post Posted April 1, 2006 (edited) 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.

Del 0 Report post Posted April 6, 2006 (edited) 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.

Del 0 Report post Posted April 6, 2006 (edited) 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 I'll be back, I will have so many more questions to ask Edited April 6, 2006 by Del Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
