_GUICtrlListViewDeleteAllItems doesnt work anymore

[PcExpert]

Hi all,

I've just updated my autoit installtion to the latest production release, BUT I discovered that this function: _GUICtrlListViewDeleteAllItems isnt a function anymore, they have changed it to _GUICtrlListView_DeleteAllItems . I've changed the function names to the new one, but now it gives me the following error:

Use GUICtrlDelete to delete items

Or if items were created with UDF functions MAKE sure to pass in handle to control NOT the controlid

Whats wrong, the code I used is the following:

_GUICtrlListView_DeleteAllItems($ListView0) ; Listview0, is the listview

if you created the listview items using the built-in function then you need to use GuiCtrlDelete to delete the items

if you created the items using the UDF functions then you need to get the handle to the control and pass that in.

If you get the handle to the control and pass that in when the items were created using the built-in functions your on your own, this may have adverse affects.

So I cannot use the function I mentioned to delete ALL items?

replace $ListView0 by GUICtrlGetHandle($ListView0) and its work.

So : _GUICtrlListView_DeleteAllItems(GUICtrlGetHandle($ListView0))

As I said under certain circumstances this will be a use at your own risk call.

It works now, thanks!

Why is that? What are the possible conflicts?

When one deletes a ListView Control, are all the items deleted, too?

I ask this since in my situation it is a bit frustrating to write the code to delete one item at a time, so I am experimenting the following alternative:

1) first, I create ListView $bl in window $mainwindow:

$bl = GUICtrlCreateListView("name|city",10,10,200,195)

2) then when I have to delete all the listview items, I do:

GUIctrldelete($bl)
guisetstate(@SW_ENABLE,$mainwindow)
$bl = GUICtrlCreateListView("name|city",10,10,200,195)
