Get control ID for ListView item

[jonny1234]

Hi,

I'm creating ListView items using MyGUICtrlCreateListViewItem from example 2 of GUICtrlRegisterListViewSort in the AutoIt help file.

Unlike GUICtrlCreateListViewItem, MyGUICtrlCreateListViewItem returns the index of the newly-created item and not its control ID. But I need the item's control ID to pass to GUICtrlSetBkColor in order to set the background colour of the item.

Please can you help.

Regards,

Jonny

You can select the item then use GuiCtrlRead of the listview to get the id of the selected item.

Sorry don't think that will work unless you use GuiCtrlCreateListViewItem

You're right, it doesn't. It always returns 0.

But if I use GuiCtrlCreateListViewItem, then the sorting won't work.

Perhaps I'll have to find a way to set the item background colour, other than by using GUICtrlSetBkColor.

Use the methods from the first example not the second one and it should work.
