Getting the text of the listbox item on mouseover?


 Share

Recommended Posts

Hey guys, please check out my code (posted below). I need to be able to somehow get the text of the listbox item on a mouseover. I can do it "on click", but I have no idea what to do for "on mouseover".

Please help if you can. Thanks!

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <EditConstants.au3>
#include <GuiListBox.au3>

Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1)
$Form1 = GUICreate("Form1", 418, 356, 410, 474)
GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "Form1Close")
$List1 = GUICtrlCreateList("", 8, 8, 401, 214)
GUICtrlSetData($List1, "Item #01|Item #02|Item #03|Item #04|Item #05|Item #06|Item #07|Item #08|Item #09|Item #10")
GUICtrlSetOnEvent($List1, "List1Click")
$Label1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Shows selected listbox item:", 8, 232, 136, 17)
$Label2 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Needs to show the listbox item that the mouse is currently hovered over:", 8, 296, 342, 17)
$Input1 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 8, 256, 401, 21, BitOR($ES_AUTOHSCROLL,$ES_READONLY))
$Input2 = GUICtrlCreateInput("How can this be done?", 8, 320, 401, 21, BitOR($ES_AUTOHSCROLL,$ES_READONLY))
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
  Sleep(100)
WEnd

Func Form1Close()
  Exit
EndFunc

Func List1Click()
  GUICtrlSetData($Input1, _GUICtrlListBox_GetText($List1, _GUICtrlListBox_GetCurSel($List1)))
EndFunc

This seems to work for me:

GUICreate("My GUI Window",900,500)
GUISetState()
While 1
AutoItSetOption("MouseCoordMode",0)
$x1 = ;left hand side of mouseover area (+ left border of GUI)
$x2 = ;right hand side of mouseover area (+ left border of GUI)
$y1 = ;top side of mouseover area (+ top border of GUI)
$y2 = ;bottom side of mouseover area (+ top border of GUI)
If MouseGetPos(0) > $x1 and MouseGetPos(0) < $x2 and MouseGetPos(1) > $y1 and MouseGetPos(1) < $y2 Then
    MsgBox(64,"Info","MouseOver!!")
EndIf
Wend

But it might make larger GUIs slower.

I hope this helps.

Hey NumberDaemon, thanks for your reply.

I know what you are trying to show me but unfortunately that method does not help me.

In that script I posted, the same action that occurs when you click the listbox items needs to happen when hovering over (mousing over) the listbox items instead. I need an elegant solution if anyone knows one. Thanks!

Add these to your example:

GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_MOUSEMOVE, "On_MOUSEMOVE")


Func On_MOUSEMOVE()
    Local $aCI = GUIGetCursorInfo(), $aCtrlPos, $x, $sText = ""
    If @error Or $aCI[4] <> $List1 Then Return GUICtrlSetData($Input2, $sText)
    $aCtrlPos = ControlGetPos(@GUI_WinHandle, "", $aCI[4])
    $x = _GUICtrlListBox_ItemFromPoint($aCI[4], $aCI[0]-$aCtrlPos[0], $aCI[1]-$aCtrlPos[1])
    If $x > -1 Then $sText = _GUICtrlListBox_GetText($aCI[4], $x)
    GUICtrlSetData($Input2, $sText)
EndFunc
