Listview with tickboxes

[dazza]

Looking at the example GUI on the home page, I need the listbox with tickboxes.

e.g. item1 []

item2 []

etc.

Is this a listview? What do I add to get the tickboxes showing?

Many thanks in advance.

Try this code:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <ListviewConstants.au3>
#Include <GuiListView.au3> ; UDF!!

Dim $msg, $gui, $list, $listitem

$gui = GUICreate("test", 250, 350)
$list = GUICtrlCreateListView("test", 10, 10, 230, 330, -1, $LVS_EX_CHECKBOXES)
$listitem = GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("testitem", $list)

; Next sentence is to set the width of the column automatically to the largest width of all items
_GUICtrlListView_SetColumnWidth($list, 0, $LVSCW_AUTOSIZE) ; This is not AutoIt native! It's a User Defind Function. Someone made it and AutoIt included this for you! You also need the above include.
GUISetState()

While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then Exit
WEnd

Your specifically looking for this line: $list = GUICtrlCreateListView("test", 10, 10, 230, 330, -1, $LVS_EX_CHECKBOXES)

The last part: $LVS_EX_CHECKBOXES gives the checkboxes to the items.

That's perfect

Having just beat my head on this one also, it is worth noting for fellow searchers:

In the example line: GUICtrlCreateListView("test", 10, 10, 230, 330, -1, $LVS_EX_CHECKBOXES)

If the "-1" is not there (the style switch), the checkboxes will not display.
