Multiple Listbox handler

[Autox]

I have spent the past hour or so searching the boards looking for something regarding this so here goes...

I have a gui that has 2 Listboxes (created via _GUICtrlListBox_Create) that contain data. The data in the two boxes is related. I have managed to get the gui to create both boxes, populate them with data via an ADO recordset and display the data. I even managed to get it to find the appropriate entry in box 2 when you click on an item in box 1. I need to be able to do the same in reverse. I have pretty much just taken the WM_COMMAND from one of the listbox example scripts and made very slight changes.

My problem is that this 'canned' handler is set to handle only 1 box. How do I get it to recognize and handle 2? Line 3 appears to force it to use the handle only the one box.

You don't understand the concept.

$ilParam is the handle of the control that sends the notification. In that example it is passed to another variable, $hWndFrom, although this is irrelevant.

Point is, you should know the handles of your two listboxes, keep them as global variables.

Then it's just the matter of comparing $lParam to each of them, and you know which listbox sent the notification. This can be coded in a variety of ways, depending of what the rest of your code is.

Right now in that code above, it's done with "Switch $hWndFrom" statement.

I do know the handles. $ListBlade & $ListTool. And your right, I am not exactly clear on the how this is working. I have been learning the newest version of AutoIT and this part is fuzziest part for me at this time.
