ProcessList problem

[Nahuel]

I wanted to update my processmanager and was trying to find a way of refreshing the process list only if there's a new process or one ended. This is an example:

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
#Include <GuiList.au3>

 GUICreate("Form2", 249, 305, 208, 147)
$ListadeProcesos = GUICtrlCreateList("", 32, 16, 185, 253)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
pros()
AdlibEnable("pros",2000)
While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit

    EndSwitch
WEnd

Func pros()
$Procesos=ProcessList()
$NumDePros=_GUICtrlListCount($ListadeProcesos)
MsgBox(0,"","ProcessList: "&$Procesos[0][0]&@CR&"ListView: "&$NumDePros)
If $Procesos[0][0]<>$NumDePros Then
    GUICtrlSetData($ListadeProcesos,"")
    for $i = 1 to $Procesos[0][0]
        GUICtrlSetData($ListadeProcesos,$Procesos[$i][0])
    next
EndIf
EndFunc

My problem is that, for some reson, the number of processes returned by ProcessList doesn't match the number of items. There's a difference of 2, but sometimes it's 3. I checked with _ArrayDisplay() and I see what the problem is, there are three processes called 'svchost.exe'. ProcessList DOES return them but GUICtrlSetData($ListadeProcesos,$Procesos[$i][0]) will only add it once!!

Can anyone explain why this happens?

What happens if you replace:

for $i = 1 to $Procesos[0][0]
        GUICtrlSetData($ListadeProcesos,$Procesos[$i][0])

Perfect!! Thank you.

But.. why does it do that?

Well, you could try this as well, and if it works you might be able to see why:

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
#Include <GuiList.au3>

GUICreate("Form2", 249, 305, 208, 147)
$ListadeProcesos = GUICtrlCreateList("", 32, 16, 185, 253)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
pros()
AdlibEnable("pros",2000)
While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit

    EndSwitch
WEnd

Func pros()
$Procesos=ProcessList()
$NumDePros=_GUICtrlListCount($ListadeProcesos)
MsgBox(0,"","ProcessList: "&$Procesos[0][0]&@CR&"ListView: "&$NumDePros)
If $Procesos[0][0]<>$NumDePros Then
    GUICtrlSetData($ListadeProcesos,"")
    for $i = 1 to $Procesos[0][0]
        GUICtrlSetData($ListadeProcesos,$Procesos[$i][0]&"|")
    next
EndIf
EndFunc

Yes that works perfectly! I see why your fix is doing, but my question was why can't we add many items with the same name? I guess that means that if I try:

Guictrlsetdata($Mylist,"hello")
Guictrlsetdata($Mylist,"hello")

it wouldn't work? Weird.

You didn't notice the separator necessary I guess? "|"?

No no no, I did! You are not getting my point. Apparently it can work without a separator if the items are different, but not if they are the same word. I was just wondering why that happens...

This will add both 'hello' and 'bye' items

Guictrlsetdata($Mylist,"hello")
Guictrlsetdata($Mylist,"Bye")

This will only add hello once

Guictrlsetdata($Mylist,"hello")
Guictrlsetdata($Mylist,"hello")

But never mind, it's just curiosity Thanks a lot for your help.

From the help file for GUICtrlSetData:

Remarks

For Combo or List control :

If the "data" corresponds to an already existing entry it is set as the default.

If the "data" starts with GUIDataSeparatorChar or is an empty string "" the previous list is destroyed.

OH I see.. thanks
