GUIListView limitations

[randallc]

Hi,

I have 2 problems with the list view at the moment, and I can post code if it is not already known?...

1. After Insert column, a full item will not be accepted by the listview.

2. Insert item only seems to work for subitems, not full items.

As I say, if these are not known behaviour or not clear, I can post examples from help file.

Best, Randall

Examples of what your talking about would be helpfull.

[randallc]

OK,

Here is the column one first; I have modified the helpfile example to add 2 rows after each insert; but there is a fail error with the second one each time

Perhaps I have the syntax wrong?...

[The helpfile example only sets the text for first column, not whole row..]

If you use the InsertColumn autoit still only reconizes the original # of columns

you'll have to either do an new item with the origianl # of columns then set the last column to the data or

1. After Insert column, a full item will not be accepted by the listview.

So can this be included in the helpfile; "GUICreateListViewItem" does not wortk, and the work-around?

2. Insert item only seems to work for subitems, not full items.

Did you see the example I gave as requested on this thread Gary?

Best, Randallc

The workaround is in my previous post, try the code, change the index for the insert, you'll see it works.

I din't look deep into but do you know difference between GUICtrlSetData and _GUICtrlListViewSetItemText? Edited July 15, 2006 by Zedna

[randallc]

No I don't; do you?

Randallc

[Zedna]

No I don't; do you?

Randallc

Yes I do.

By GUICtrlSetData you can set text for whole row

and by _GUICtrlListViewSetItemText you can set text only for particular column in row.

for GUICtrlSetData you need remember item_id (returned from GUICtrlCreateListViewItem)

For set text to whole row by _GUICtrlListViewSetItemText you need to parse your text by StringSplit

and call _GUICtrlListViewSetItemText for every column (from that array returned by StringSplit)

That's all.

Hi,

If that is so..

and it appears to be, then the helpfile is misleading?

_GUICtrlListViewSetItemText

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Changes the text of a list-view item or subitem.

So it says you can "Change the text of a list-view item ", not only individual subitems one at a time?..

item = col 0, subitems = col > 0

Term ListView item means first column, that's terminology is correct by me.

listview item row = listview item (first column) + listview subitems (second and above columns)

EDIT: gafrost was quicker

see http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/sh...setitemtext.asp for any more questions about how the _GUICtrlListViewSetItemText function works.

[randallc]

All in the terminology!

Perhaps that could be expanded at least in the HelpFile?...

Thanks for your help.
