Listviewitem animation

[DjDeep00]

Is it possible to create a listview similar to the following:

I am trying to make a listview which will have a visual indication of which listviewitem is currently being processed.

Just an images yes, animate that image i don't think so, just maybe constantly change between two (or more) images to emulate animation, but i am not sure if this will be worth (resources usage etc).

For the animation couldn't you do a loop or count with some icons and GUICtrlSetImage() ?

eg:

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

Global $State, $i = 127

GUICreate("listview items",220,200, 100,200,-1,$WS_EX_ACCEPTFILES)
$listview = GUICtrlCreateListView ("  |Name|Version|Size",10,10,200,150)
$item =GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("|Some App|v1.0|4.2 MB",$listview)
GUICtrlSetImage($item, "shell32.dll", -138)
$button = GuiCtrlCreateButton ("Start",75,170,70,20)
GUISetState()

While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Select
        Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $msg = $button
            If $State = 0 Then
                $State = 1
                GUICtrlSetData($button, "Stop")
                AdlibEnable("iconani", 300)
            Else
                $State = 0
                GUICtrlSetData($button, "Start")
                AdlibDisable()
                GUICtrlSetImage($item, "shell32.dll", -138)
            EndIf   
    EndSelect
WEnd

Func iconani()
    $i += 1
    If $i > 130 Then $i = 127
    GUICtrlSetImage($item, "shell32.dll", -$i)
EndFunc

Here is my solution but little buged

#include <GuiConstants.au3>

GuiCreate("MyGUI", 360, 360,-1, -1 , BitOR($WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW, $WS_CLIPSIBLINGS))
$list = GUICtrlCreateListView("List view items;)",10,10,340,340)
$item = GUICtrlCreateListViewItem(";)",$list)
GUICtrlSetImage($item, "shell32.dll", -0)
GuiSetState()
AdlibEnable("icon", 500)
While 1
    $msg = GuiGetMsg()
    Select
    Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
        ExitLoop
    Case Else
    ;;;
    EndSelect
WEnd
Exit

Func icon()
   GUICtrlSetImage($item, "shell32.dll", -0)
   Sleep(500)
   GUICtrlSetImage($item, "shell32.dll", -2)
   Sleep(500)
EndFunc

That's exactly what i am was talking about...

just maybe constantly change between two (or more) images to emulate animation

Thanks, the example looks/works good!

Thanx Guys..but been there and done that using "adlib"....using this really slowed down one of my functions which was going thru a huge loop...i was just wondering if there was a way to use guictrlsetimage() and a gif file..to have the listviewitem animate the entire time...to stop it u would just use guictrlsetimage again with a non-animated gif file...damn..looks like no animation for me...

No, AutoIt does not suport gif animations on the controls (too bad).

But if your problem is with loops, and you want to run animation constantly, you might want to look at CallBack Functions .
