Listview disappears when put in a tab item?

[wahoyaho]

I made a tab item, and then put a listview inside it, and now sometimes after a few seconds the listview will disappear on it's own :s

You are expecting too much without showing any code. But check that you have closed your tab as it shows in the help.

Here's what I have so far

$hWnd = GUICreate($app_name & " - v." & $app_ver, $app_w, $app_h, @DesktopWidth-$app_w-10, @DesktopHeight-$app_h-200)
WinSetOnTop($app_name & " - v." & $app_ver, "", 1)
GUISetFont("8.5", "", "", "Calibri", $hWnd)
$trans_l = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Transparency:", 155, 241)
GUICtrlSetColor($trans_l, "0x676767")
$trans = GUICtrlCreateSlider(221, 243, "155", "15", $TBS_NOTICKS)
GUICtrlSetLimit($trans, 255, 100)
$log = GUICtrlCreateCheckBox("Log", 535, 241, 70, 15)
$save = GUICtrlCreateButton("Save", 634, 239, 90, 19)
$tab = GUICtrlCreateTab(5, 5, 721, 254, BitOR($TCS_RIGHT, $TCS_FOCUSNEVER))
$tab0 = GUICtrlCreateTabItem("tab0")
$output = GUICtrlCreateListView("Output", 10, 10, 709, 222, $LVS_NOCOLUMNHEADER)
_GUICtrlListViewSetColumnWidth($output, 0, 704)
$tab1 = GUICtrlCreateTabItem("tab1")
$tab2 = GUICtrlCreateTabItem("tab2")
GUICtrlCreateTabItem("")
GUISetState ()

GUICtrlSetData($trans, 255)
$trans_v = GUICtrlRead($trans)

While $running
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    If GUICtrlRead($trans) <> $trans_v Then
        $trans_v = GUICtrlRead($trans)
        WinSetTrans($app_name & " - v." & $app_ver, "", $trans_v)
    EndIf
    If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop
WEnd

Well that's a hard problem to find ..

I tried your bit of code in Autoit v3.2.8.1 and Autoit (beta) v3.2.9.14 and I'm not getting the same symptoms.

When you say sometimes , it doesn't give much to go on , since I can't seem to replicate your problem.

Mind you I did remove a couple of things due to variables that weren't supplied with your code.

But I couldn't see them making much differance.

#include <GUIConstants.au3> ; added needed for styles

$hWnd = GUICreate("Variable not supplied", 729, 270) ; guessed the width and hiegt, variable not supplied
WinSetOnTop($hWnd, "", 1) ; variable not supplied, used handle
GUISetFont("8.5", "", "", "Calibri", $hWnd)
$trans_l = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Transparency:", 155, 241)
GUICtrlSetColor($trans_l, "0x676767")
$trans = GUICtrlCreateSlider(221, 243, "155", "15", $TBS_NOTICKS)
GUICtrlSetLimit($trans, 255, 100)
$log = GUICtrlCreateCheckBox("Log", 535, 241, 70, 15)
$save = GUICtrlCreateButton("Save", 634, 239, 90, 19)
$tab = GUICtrlCreateTab(5, 5, 721, 254, BitOR($TCS_RIGHT, $TCS_FOCUSNEVER))
$tab0 = GUICtrlCreateTabItem("tab0")
$output = GUICtrlCreateListView("Output", 10, 10, 709, 222, $LVS_NOCOLUMNHEADER)
;~ _GUICtrlListViewSetColumnWidth($output, 0, 704); include/function not provided
$tab1 = GUICtrlCreateTabItem("tab1")
$tab2 = GUICtrlCreateTabItem("tab2")
GUICtrlCreateTabItem("")
GUISetState ()

GUICtrlSetData($trans, 255)
$trans_v = GUICtrlRead($trans)

While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    If GUICtrlRead($trans) <> $trans_v Then
        $trans_v = GUICtrlRead($trans)
        WinSetTrans($hWnd, "", $trans_v) ;used a handle instead of a title
    EndIf
    If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop
WEnd

Can you give some more info when it happens ..

eg: switching between tabs,

when setting transparency,

after minimizing,

while just sitting on screen doing nothing...

Maybe also give more details on the version of autoit your using..

The operating system your using...

Cheers

Hmm, the include is

#include <GUIListView.au3>

It seems that if I comment this code

;~ _GUICtrlListViewSetColumnWidth($output, 0, 704); include/function not provided

out as well, then it's ok. (Except for a little blink in the window after 5 seconds of running)

I'm using the newst version and on Winxp sp2

It seems like whenever the window goes from inactive to active window, after ~5 seconds it does this

In both Autoit v3.2.8.1 and Autoit (beta) v3.2.9.14 I can't replicate the problem your having, that's with or without the commented line.

I don't get any flicker apart if I adjust the transpency to solid and then to transparent and back to solid..

(this only happens when transparency reaches 255).

But that behavior has always been there for me even in earlier versions.

As for the list view disappearing it just doesn't do it for me no matter what I try

I've tried active/inactive and wait between , tried minimize/restore, tried changing tabs, setting transparency and combinations of the sort with waiting in between. It just doesn't do it for me.

I'm running english WinXP SP2.

I'm sorry but I don't have any positive input to resolve your problem.

Hopefully someone else has had a similar problem and they can be of more help.

Is it the AutoIt Listview, or the _GUICtrlListBox_Create? I think that does change some parts...

[wahoyaho]

It's the Autoit Listview, what is the _GUICtrlListBox_Create? I might give it a try

Yah I don't know....the only temporary fix I can see right now is to set the gui state to lock so it doesn't repaint the tab over the listview...

This problem seems to disappear once I add a extended style to it...but now the border isn't coming up :/

Have a try with the _GUICtrlListBox_Create... See how it goes. I think Ii read somewhere that it did make a difference... Think
