Inputbox and variables

[benners]

I am having problems trying to get the desired text showing in an input box.

My Aim is to get the currently selected index of a listview, read a string from the subitem of the selected index and display it as the default for the inputbox. When I specifically state the index # the text displays but when I use a variable nothing is displayed.

#include <GUIListView.au3>

Dim $CurIndex
#Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form=C:\Form2.kxf
$Form2 = GUICreate("Form2", 413, 262, 366, 227)
$ListView1 = GUICtrlCreateListView("Filename|Display|MST|CmdLine", 24, 24, 361, 169)
GUICtrlSendMsg(-1, 0x101E, 0, 70)
GUICtrlSendMsg(-1, 0x101E, 1, 50)
GUICtrlSendMsg(-1, 0x101E, 2, 50)
GUICtrlSendMsg(-1, 0x101E, 3, 187)
$ListView1_0 = GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("wscript.exe|||//B ..\Office_2003\OTG\offverlog.vbs", $ListView1)
_GUICtrlListView_SetItemSelected($ListView1, 0)
$Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Add CmdLine", 304, 208, 80, 25, 0)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
#EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ###

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        case $Button1
            $CurIndex = _GUICtrlListView_GetSelectedIndices($ListView1)
            MsgBox(0, 'Currently Selected', 'Item Index = ' & $CurIndex)
        ; works.
            $var = InputBox('Command Line Parameters', 'This works and shows the text', _GUICtrlListView_GetItemText($ListView1, 0, 3))
        ; Doesn't work.
            $var = InputBox('Command Line Parameters', 'This does not and string is blank', _GUICtrlListView_GetItemText($ListView1, $CurIndex, 3))             
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Is this:

1. A bug.

2. Intended

3. PICNIA error?.

Thanks

You need to read the info heading the function _GUICtrlListView_GetSelectedIndices. The return is not an integer it's a string since you haven't given the second parameter.

So instead of

_GUICtrlListView_GetItemText($ListView1, $CurIndex, 3)

you need

$ItemArray = StringSplit($CurIndex,"|")

_GUICtrlListView_GetItemText($ListView1, $ItemArray [1], 3);assuming $ItemArray [0] > 0

But then it would be easier to use

$CurIndex = _GUICtrlListView_GetSelectedIndices($ListView1,true)

and then

_GUICtrlListView_GetItemText($ListView1, $CurIndex[1], 3);assuming $CurIndex [0] > 0

Because it's a string!!!, sheesh when you say it like that its simple :"> what this AutoIt thingy needs is a help file where people can look up these things .... wait there is one

I honestly did RTFM but the penny didn't drop until you mentioned it. I kept seeing the 0 and thought, well its returning zero why wont it work?. Once again, because it's a string!!

Thanks for the reply.
