Trouble Setting Index In _GUICtrlListSelectIndex

[Komawoyo]

For some reason autoit wont allow me to have the indes section in _GUICtrlListSelectIndex to change before the GUI is loaded up.

_GUICtrlListSelectIndex ( $h_listbox,  IniRead (@ScriptDir & "\Settings.Ini", "General", "Start", "24"))oÝ÷ Øp¢{^½éð¢¹"~*n¶)Ú½ªâi¹^jëh×6$X = 27
_GUICtrlListSelectIndex ( $h_listbox, $X)

What version of AutoIt are you running? The current production version is 3.2.10.0 and has some major changes to the GUI control UDFs. GAFrost has been incorporating the functionallity of PaulIA's AU3 library while standardizing the functions and deconflicting all the CONST declarations. This has been a big change and breaks backward compatibility (there were a lot of warnings while all the Betas where tried out).

In this case your function has been replaced with _GUICtrlListBox_SetCurSel() in the new GuiListBox.au3 UDF. I don't know if there was an issue with the old function, but the new one performs selection before the GUI is displayed just fine:

#include <GuiListBox.au3>

; Create GUI
$hGUI = GUICreate("(Internal) List Box Set Cur Sel", 400, 296)
$hListBox = GUICtrlCreateList("", 2, 2, 396, 296)

; Add strings
_GUICtrlListBox_BeginUpdate($hListBox)
For $iI = 1 To 9
    _GUICtrlListBox_AddString($hListBox, StringFormat("%03d : Random string", Random(1, 100, 1)))
Next
_GUICtrlListBox_EndUpdate($hListBox)

; Select an item
_GUICtrlListBox_SetCurSel($hListBox, 4)

; Display GUI after selection
GUISetState()

; Get currently selected item
MsgBox(4160, "Information", "Current selction: " & _GUICtrlListBox_GetCurSel($hListBox))

; Loop until user exits
Do
Until GUIGetMsg() = -3
