Help with GUICtrlCreateList

[pietrog]

Is there a listbox style that will always display the last item added to the list by default?

When I run the following code, the scroll bar appears after I add more items to the list than the listbox can display. As I continue to add items, the scroll bar slider shrinks but the listbox continues to display the same items as before.

I'd like to have the listbox display the new items I add as I add them to the list instead.

Thanks for any input

#include <GuiConstants.au3>

GUICreate('ListBox')

$mylist = GUICtrlCreateList('', 50, 50, 300, 300)

GUISetState()

For $i = 1 To 100

Sleep(100)

GUICtrlSetData($mylist, $i & '|')

Next

Sleep(10000)

#include <GuiConstants.au3>
GUICreate('ListBox')
$mylist = GUICtrlCreateList('', 50, 50, 300, 300)
GUISetState()

For $i = 100 To 200
Sleep(100)
GUICtrlSetData($mylist, $i & '|')
Next

Sleep(10000)

This example. They remain in order, as you always have 3 digits.

Does this help? I do not know of a style?

Thanks, I changed my code to yours - but my problem is that when the value '121' is displayed at the bottom of the listbox the scrollbar slider starts to shrink instead of displaying '122' etc. at the bottom of the window. So, I'm left with grabing the slider and manually scrolling down to see the values as they are entered into the list. I was hoping it was possible to have it display the new items in the listbox window as they are added without using the scrollbar slider to display them.

Try calling the following:

; scrolls list box contents so that either the item appears at top of list or maximum scroll range reached
Func _GuiLB_SetTopIndex($ref, $index)
    Return GuiSendMsg($ref, 0x197, $index, 0);LB_SETTOPINDEX
EndFunc

Here's a working example. _GuiLB_SetTopIndex does not like it if $index is out of bounds.... I guess I could change that, but the following works:

GUICreate('Example')
$mylist = GUICtrlCreateList('', 50, 50, 300, 300)
GUISetState()

For $i = 100 To 200
   Sleep(50)
   _GuiLB_AddString($mylist, STring($i))
   _GuiLB_SetTopIndex( $myList, _GuiLB_GetCount($myList)-1 )
Next

sleep(10000)
Exit

; scrolls list box contents so that either the item appears at top of list or maximum scroll range reached
Func _GuiLB_SetTopIndex($ref, $index)
    Return GuiSendMsg($ref, 0x197, $index, 0);LB_SETTOPINDEX
EndFunc
 
Func _GuiLB_AddString($ref, $string)
    Return GuiSendMsg($ref, 0x0180, 0, $string);LB_ADDSTRING
 EndFunc
 
 Func _GuiLB_GetCount($ref)
    Return GuiSendMsg($ref, 0x018B, 0, 0);LB_GETCOUNT
 EndFunc

Awesome! That's what I was looking for. Now All I have to do is spend some time digesting the code.

Thanks All
