How to make a clickable list instead of buttons


 Share

Recommended Posts

I have the following code that creates a gui with buttons from a script. The end result is a GUI driven windows messenger service.

I would like to change the buttons to a list generated by the array. Could each name in the new list be double clicked to generate a msg box? or would I highlight them and hit a general message button?

I how would I go about creating a list instead of buttons? Thanks for the help!

CODE
#include <GuiConstants.au3>

#include <file.au3>

Dim $aRecords

If Not _FileReadToArray( @ScriptDir & "\Add New Contacts Here.txt",$aRecords) Then

MsgBox(4096,"Error", " Error reading log to Array error:" & @error)

Exit

EndIf

;The above section is dependand on a txt file with the following name and format.

;Add New Contacts Here.txt -Must be in same directory script

;Userid1

;Userid2

;Userid3

;The txt file would only contain the above three examples or more if you wish. you should not leave space below any names

Dim $aButtons[uBound($aRecords)]

$aHeight = (UBound($aRecords) * 25) + 60

; START NET SEND

RunWait("net start messenger", "", @SW_HIDE)

; GUI

$window = GUICreate(@UserName & "'s Messenger", 250, $aHeight)

GUISetIcon(@SystemDir & "\mspaint.exe", 0)

; MENU

$filemenu = GuiCtrlCreateMenu ("File")

$fileitem = GuiCtrlCreateMenuitem ("Add Contacts...",$filemenu)

$separator1 = GuiCtrlCreateMenuitem ("",$filemenu)

$exititem = GuiCtrlCreateMenuitem ("Exit",$filemenu)

;LABEL - TO BE ADDED WITH USERID DETAIL

$CurrentUserName = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Type Message *Press Button to Send*", 20, 10, 200, 20)

;$CurrentUserName = GUICtrlCreateLabel("My Messenger", 90, 10)

; INPUT

$Edit1 = GUICtrlCreateEdit("Type Message Here", 10, 30, 230, 60, $ES_WANTRETURN)

;$input = GUICtrlCreateInput("Type Message Here", 10, 30, 230, 60, $ES_WANTRETURN)

;BUILD BUTTONS

$aTop = 100

$aLeft = 10

For $x = 1 to $aRecords[0]

$aButtons[$x] = GUICtrlCreateButton( $aRecords[$x], $aLeft, $aTop, 100, 30)

If $aLeft = 10 Then

$aLeft = 140

ContinueLoop

Else

$aLeft = 10

$aTop = $aTop + 40

EndIf

Next

;SET BUTTON FUNCTIONS

GUISetState()

While 1

$cursorinfo = GUIGetCursorInfo($window)

If $cursorinfo[4] = $Edit1 Then

If $cursorinfo[2] = 1 Then

GUICtrlSetData($Edit1, "")

EndIf

EndIf

$msg = GUIGetMsg()

If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then Exit

If $msg = $exititem Then Exit

Select

Case $msg = $fileitem

ShellExecute("Add New Contacts Here.txt", "", @ScriptDir, "edit")

EndSelect

For $x = 1 to $aRecords[0]

If $msg = $aButtons[$x] Then

Run("net send " & $aRecords[$x] & " Mesage From " & @UserName & ": " & StringReplace(GUICtrlRead($Edit1), @CRLF, " "), "", @SW_HIDE)

MsgBox(0, "Message Sent", "message to "&$aRecords[$x]&": "& StringReplace(GUICtrlRead($Edit1), @CRLF, " "))

EndIf

Next

WEnd

$List = GUICtrlCreateList("", 10, 10, 50, 100)
$L_Data = ''
For $x = 1 to $aRecords[0]
 $L_Data &= $aRecords[$x] &'|'
Next
GUICtrlSetData($List, StringTrimRight($L_Data,1))

A better method of setting the data would be using _GUICtrlListInsertItem() from the GUIList.au3 file in the include folder.

See List Management in the UDF's section of the help file for examples.
