Selecting Multiple Items in a List

[Stalker0]

First of all, let me say that I've only been using autoit for a few weeks now and have picked it up slowly. However, this community has been wonderful, you guys have helped me out with all of my newb questions and I appreciate it.

I'm creating a new GUI that involves a list or listview. I have a series of numbers in one list. I need to be able to select a portion of them, and with a button press move them over into another list. Is this possible with autoit gui controls?

Something like this?

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
#include <GuiList.au3>
$Form1 = GUICreate("Choices Dialog", 353, 263, 215, 152)
GUISetIcon("D:07.ico")
$ListBox1 = GUICtrlCreateList("", 8, 8, 137, 201, $LBS_MULTIPLESEL)
GUICtrlSetData(-1, "Item1|Item2|Item3|Item4|Item5")
$moveright = GUICtrlCreateButton(">", 156, 15, 30, 25, 0)
$moveleft = GUICtrlCreateButton("<", 157, 81, 31, 25, 0)
$ListBox2 = GUICtrlCreateList("", 200, 8, 137, 201,$LBS_MULTIPLESEL)
GUICtrlCreateButton("&OK", 96, 225, 75, 25, $BS_DEFPUSHBUTTON)
GUICtrlCreateButton("&Cancel", 184, 225, 75, 25, 0)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)


While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        case $moveright
            $index1=_GUICtrlListGetSelItems ( $listbox1 )
            If IsArray($index1) Then
                For $i=1 to $index1[0]
                    $Text= _GUICtrlListGetText ( $listbox1, $index1[$i])
                    _GUICtrlListAddItem ($listbox2,$Text)
                    _GUICtrlListDeleteItem ( $listbox1,$index1[$i] )
                Next
            EndIf
        case $moveleft
            $index1=_GUICtrlListGetSelItems ( $listbox2 )
            If IsArray($index1) Then
                For $i=1 to $index1[0]
                    $Text= _GUICtrlListGetText ( $listbox2, $index1[$i])
                    _GUICtrlListAddItem ($listbox1,$Text)
                    _GUICtrlListDeleteItem ( $listbox2,$index1[$i] )
                Next
            EndIf
    EndSwitch
WEnd

It has some trouble when trying to move many items, but I leave that to you

Thanks for the help. Yeah, my main problem is still with the multiple select function on a list.

Tell me, I know you can select multiple items with a listview. However, I haven't seen a command in the help menu that can take a selection in listview and convert it into an array that I can port over to another list or listview.

Also, I didn't see this style in the help menu, LBS_MULTIPLESEL, is there a larger list of styles somewhere?

No problem.

Well.. you can do that. Shouldn't be that hard...

Yeah, look for GUI Control Styles in help file.
