Capturing ListView item change

[Synthetic]

Hi,

I'm pretty new to AutoIt scripting, and this is my first go at using the GUI commands.

I have my small GUI working pretty much as I want, but I've been testing using the mouse to activate controls. I recently used the keyboard to move between items in my ListView and was shocked to see that the event did not fire for the ListViewItem in question.

I'm currently using MessageLoop mode, although I may switch to OnEvent - especially if it will easily solve this oversight. I added the following to my loop and it doesn't fire with a keypress.

If $msg > 0 Then
    If msgbox(1, "msg", $msg) = 2 Then Exit
EndIf

Am I right in assuming I am going to have to implement a totally new layer to check for key presses?

All help appreciated.

What do you want to happen when you click on an item in your listview?

If you just want to know which item is selected then you can add this line inside your while 1 loop

$Selecteditem = _GUICtrlListViewGetCurSel($MyListView);requires #include <GuiListView.au3>

and you could have something like

If $Selecteditem <> $lastItem then

do something about the change

$lastItem = $Selecteditem

endif

Thanks for the response martin.

I already have the ListView acting as I want when I click on an item with the mouse, it's just when I change item by using up or down it is not triggering an event and therefore not firing the code I already have.

That said, maybe I will just have to keep checking with _GUICtrlListViewGetCurSel() and act accordingly.

However, I assume this rules out using OnEvent, as no event will actually have fired?
