How do you read the state of a GUICtrlCreateListViewItem control?

[Swimming_Bird]

For my Listview the styles i'm using are $LVS_SHOWSELALWAYS+$LVS_NOSORTHEADER. I want to be able to select as many items as they want then using a while loop go though the controls to find which ones are selected or checked if i use $LVS_EX_CHECKBOXES. However regardless of the state GUICtrlGetState always returns 80 on the ListViewItem's control. GUICtrlRead only gives me the data stored in the control i have selected.

use the latest beta ( http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/files/beta/autoit )

the beta provides you with a lot of aditional functions (read the help-file)

for example _GUICtrlListViewGetCheckedState() returns the check state for a list-view control item

is there any way of yet to do it without needing the $LVS_EX_CHECKBOXES command?

[rakudave]

yes, use _GUICtrlListViewGetCurSel(), this retrieves the index of current selection, then use _GUICtrlListViewGetItemText() to "convert" the returned index to the actual text of the selected items...

the issue is that doesnt return if multiple items are selected. what i'd ideally like to do is have a list that i can select multiple items from using shift/ctrl clicks and have it do whatever based on what's selected.

I'm quite amaized by how many new functions are in the beta simply with regard to ListView. I'm definately gonna have to spend some more time browsing the whole thing with this multitude of new functions availible.
