Guictrlcreatelist

[litlmike]

I would like a GUI with a list with options A, B, C, D, E, F.

I would like the user to be able to select 1 or all of the options. Then, when they click done, to take the user input. Is it possible highlight more than one option when using GUICtrlCreateList?

Thanks in Advance.

I know there's a way to select multiple options in a GUICtrlCreateList, but I haven't found a way to get the script to read all of the selected controls. To allow multiple selections, I think it's just a setting you add, check the help file for it, something like $LS_MULTIPLESEL or something...

Thanks for the input. I wasn't able to find the Mulitple Selection setting. Does anyone know the exact setting?

Could you use GUICtrlCreateListView() instead? If so then use something like this for the style.

BitOR($LVS_REPORT, $LVS_SHOWSELALWAYS)

$listbox = GUICtrlCreateList("", 125, 40, 180, 120, BitOR($LBS_SORT, $WS_BORDER, $WS_VSCROLL, $LBS_NOTIFY, $LBS_MULTIPLESEL))

[big_daddy]

$listbox = GUICtrlCreateList("", 125, 40, 180, 120, BitOR($LBS_SORT, $WS_BORDER, $WS_VSCROLL, $LBS_NOTIFY, $LBS_MULTIPLESEL))

I guess $LBS_MULTIPLESEL got left out when the help file was made?

Yea, I guess that did get left out of the Help File. Who do we notify about that?

Second, I tried the code given but got the following error: Do I need to #include something besides <GUIConstants.au3>?

WARNING: $LBS_MULTIPLESEL: possibly used before declaration.

ERROR: $LBS_MULTIPLESEL: undeclared global variable.

No one, it's a part of the beta UDFs

Global Const $LBS_MULTIPLESEL = 0x8

Hey, thanks for the info.

I got a feeling you know more about programming than any 1 person should be allowed to.

You have very easily answered some of my questions in the past that have haunted me, and puzzled others.

Thanks a lot.

Can anyone tell me why this does not work?

When I set the list items as a variable, they do not work.

$Alphabet = "a|b|c|d|e|f|g|h|i"

$listbox = GUICtrlCreateList($Alphabet, 125, 40, 180, 120, BitOR($LBS_SORT, $WS_BORDER, $WS_VSCROLL, $LBS_NOTIFY, $LBS_MULTIPLESEL))

Nevermind, I needed to use, GuiCtrlSetData. I got to work.

Then should it not be in the beta help file?

Example from the beta help file

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
#include <GuiList.au3>

Opt ('MustDeclareVars', 1)

Dim $msg, $ret, $listbox, $button, $i

GUICreate("ListBox Selected Items Indices Demo", 400, 250, -1, -1)
$listbox = GUICtrlCreateList("", 125, 40, 180, 120, BitOR($LBS_SORT, $WS_BORDER, $WS_VSCROLL, $LBS_NOTIFY, $LBS_MULTIPLESEL))
GUICtrlSetData($listbox, "test1|more testing|even more testing|demo|")
$button = GUICtrlCreateButton("Get Selected", 150, 160, 120, 40)
GUISetState()
While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Select
        Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            ExitLoop
        Case $msg = $button
            $ret = _GUICtrlListGetSelItems ($listbox)
            If (Not IsArray($ret)) Then
                MsgBox(16, "Error", "Unknown error from _GUICtrlListGetSelItems")
            Else
                For $i = 1 To $ret[0]
                    MsgBox(0, "Selected", $ret[$i])
                Next
            EndIf
    EndSelect
WEnd

Not to be rude, but that is not where 90% of us would go looking for list styles. Maybe there should be a "GUI Control Styles Beta" in the Appendix?

If the powers that be decide to add it to the GuiConstants.au3 then it will be listed, for now it's a part of GuiList.au3 (Author: Me)

It makes sense now, thanks for clearing things up.
