_GUICtrlListView Get problem

[Champak]

I know this is simple but it's flying over me. I switched from using GUICtrlCreateList to using _GUICtrlListView_Create because I needed to display two columns. The problem now is that I can't click (highlight) an element and retrieve something based on the name I highlighted....because I don't know how with this function (I couldn't figure it out in the help file). So how do I do that?...retrieve the text of the highlighted element in the first column?

None of these (along with many many other "get" functions) work for your needs?

_GUICtrlListView_GetItemText

_GUICtrlListView_GetItemTextArray

_GUICtrlListView_GetItemTextString

[Champak]

Ha, the ONE that I didn't look at was the one. I did the GetItemText, but that didn't work for me, and didn't do the GetItemTextArray, because of how the help said it worked...but I didn't try the GetItemTextString, and that worked sort of. It isn't really doing what I want because it is returning the whole row, but I guess I can use stringreplace I believe to fix that. So I'll go ahead and try that.

You can use all the functions from _guictrllistview UDF to work with the normal listview (guictrlcreatelist) by using this :

$listhndl = GUICtrlGetHandle($playlist);CHANGE THIS WITH THE HANDLE OF THE NORMAL LISTVIEW CTRL
_GUICtrlListView_GetItemCount($listhndl)

Hope it helps !

Is there a better way of doing this?

$String = _StringReverse(_GUICtrlListView_GetItemTextString($SongListView))
            $String = _StringReverse(StringTrimLeft($String, StringInStr($String, "|", 2, 1)))

You don't need to do that for the functions to work with the built-in control

$String = _StringReverse(_GUICtrlListView_GetItemTextString($SongListView))
            $String = _StringReverse(StringTrimLeft($String, StringInStr($String, "|", 2, 1)))

if you need to get the text from one column of the listview just use _GUICtrlListView_GetItemText. It will work if you use it correctly.

[Champak]

OK, I figured this way

msgbox(0,0,_GUICtrlListView_GetItemText($SongListView, _GUICtrlListView_GetSelectionMark($SongListView))

It seems to work...haven't really ran it through it's passes and scenarios, but is the the way you were referring to as the "correct" way?

Do you have an actual example string without the "_StringReverse"?

[Champak]

I don't know what you mean, but what I did in post 8 is working well for me...and it is without "_StringReverse". Thanks.

_GUICtrlListView_GetItemText($SongListView, _GUICtrlListView_GetSelectionMark($SongListView))

...Unless I shouldn't be doing it like this.?.?.
