using arrow keys

[Killer]

Hello.

Can someone help me. On the below example I would like to be able to press the arrow keys and when the key pressed, it will popup a window which is the same as the $button.

Also I have include send("{DOWN}") to make the blue bar show in the list. Is there another better way to make the bar show?

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

GUICreate("listview items",220,250, 100,200,-1,$WS_EX_ACCEPTFILES)

GUISetBkColor (0x00E0FFFF) ; will change background color

$listview = GUICtrlCreateListView ("col1 |col2|col3 ",10,10,200,150);,$LVS_SORTDESCENDING)

$button = GUICtrlCreateButton ("Value?",75,170,70,20)

$item1=GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("item2|col22|col23",$listview)

$item2=GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("item1|col12|col13",$listview)

$item3=GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("item3|col32|col33",$listview)

$input1=GUICtrlCreateInput("",20,200, 150)

GUISetState()

send("{DOWN}")

Do

$msg = GUIGetMsg ()

Select

Case $msg = $button

MsgBox(0,"listview item",GUICtrlRead(GUICtrlRead($listview)),2)

Case $msg = $listview

MsgBox(0,"listview", "clicked="& GUICtrlGetState($listview),2)

EndSelect

Until $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

Hi,

hope that helps

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
#include <Misc.au3>

$dll = DllOpen("user32.dll")

$GUI = GUICreate("listview items", 220, 250, 100, 200, -1, $WS_EX_ACCEPTFILES)
GUISetBkColor(0x00E0FFFF) ; will change background color

$listview = GUICtrlCreateListView("col1 |col2|col3 ", 10, 10, 200, 150);,$LVS_SORTDESCENDING)
$button = GUICtrlCreateButton("Value?", 75, 170, 70, 20)
$item1 = GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("item2|col22|col23", $listview) 
$item2 = GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("item1|col12|col13", $listview)
$item3 = GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("item3|col32|col33", $listview)
$input1 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 20, 200, 150)
GUISetState()
send("{DOWN}")

Do
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Select
        Case $msg = $button
            MsgBox(0, "listview item", GUICtrlRead(GUICtrlRead($listview)), 2)
        Case $msg = $listview
            MsgBox(0, "listview", "clicked=" & GUICtrlGetState($listview), 2)
    EndSelect
    If _IsPressed("27", $dll) Then
        MsgBox(0, "listview item", GUICtrlRead(GUICtrlRead($listview)), 2)
    EndIf
Until $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

DllClose($dll)

He wants to change the Send command to another easier command to show the "bar"

He wants to change the Send command to another easier command to show the "bar"

There were 2 questions there, one th.meger answered with _IsPressed() (Key down), the other about send could be ControlSend($GUI, '', $listview, "{DOWN}") (Naming GUICreate = $GUI), and I'm sure it could be done with GUICtrlSendMsg() but I haven't figured it out yet.

Hi th.meger, your code don't seems to be any different to mine.

I am still hoping someone could help out on using arrow keys to get the value.

Hi,

have you tried my code? There is a difference!

Have al ook here :

If _IsPressed("27", $dll) Then
        MsgBox(0, "listview item", GUICtrlRead(GUICtrlRead($listview)), 2)
    EndIf

and so on

A difference in code but the program doesn't have any difference. My question was "I have include send("{DOWN}") to make the blue bar show in the list. Is there another better way to make the bar show?" You added in additional codes which I have no idea what they achieves because the blue bar will not show when I remove the send("{DOWN}") function. Your retain of the send("{DOWN}") is no different to my code.

Hi,

right. I don't know a better way of showing the blue bar. I tried to answer your first question.

This one.

Can someone help me. On the below example I would like to be able to press the arrow keys and when the key pressed, it will popup a window which is the same as the $button.

So, I implemented showing it by pressing the right arrow key.

Sorry but I tried the code. There is nothing special. It never pop anything when I use the arrow keys. Which is why I said nothing different. Anyway thanks for trying. I managed to solve it by using hotkeyset and controlsend.
