GUICtrlCreateList and GUICtrlSetData

[fspafford]

I can't seem to add the same text more than once to a list control. For example, if I use:

GUICtrlSetData($mylist, "test")

GUICtrlSetData($mylist, "test")

then "test" appears once in the list.

Can this behavior be changed?

I am using a list control to log some information, and I want to allow "duplicates".

Thanks,

Frank

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

GUICreate("My GUICtrlRead",250,120)

$n1  = GUICtrlCreateList("", 10, 10, -1, 100)
GUICtrlSetData(-1, "item1|item1|item1")

GUISetState ()

Do
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
Until $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

That example does work, but I want to use multiple calls to GUICtrlSetData so that the list is updated while the script is running. Can this be done?

Your example should work but there appears to a minor bug or undocumented behaviour

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

GUICreate("My GUI")  ; will create a dialog box that when displayed is centered

$mylist1 = GUICtrlCreatelist ("", 10,10)
GUICtrlSetData($mylist1, "test")
GUICtrlSetData($mylist1, "test")
; only one entry appears in list

$mylist2 = GUICtrlCreatelist ("", 10,200)
GUICtrlSetData($mylist2, "test")
GUICtrlSetData($mylist2, "test|")
; two entries appear in list

GUISetState ()       ; will display an empty dialog box with a list control with focus on

; Run the GUI until the dialog is closed
While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    
    If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop

Edit: A bug report has been submitted

I can use the workaround. Thanks!

        GUICtrlSetData ($mylist ,$three &"|"& $two &"|"& $one,$one)

Use _GUICtrlListBox_AddString() instead of GUICtrlSetData.
