TreeView Checkboxes

Recommended Posts

Hi,

I'm creating a script to install programs and decided to use TreeView because I'll be adding programs.

This is my problem the script I'm modifying is from the help file and it uses check boxes so multiple selections can be made. I need to modify it so that one selection can be made at a time.

Is there a Radio Button option when using TreeView?

If not, is there a way to deactivate a check box?

Is there a easier or better method recommended to use other than the TreeView?

A TreeView only allows one selection at a time by default. Why use the checkboxes at all? For that matter, why use a TreeView? Your "Styles" and "Effects" controls could just be ListViews, or even some actual Radio Buttons.

With my above code I changed line 43 to:

$effectstree = GUICtrlCreateTreeView(150, 20, 160, 70)

and I added below line 49:

If $effect1 = True Then
  _GUICtrlTreeView_GetSelection($effect1))
  Run("Notepad.exe", "", @SW_MAXIMIZE
EndIf

But I'm getting the Au3Check error:

[error]

Bad case of a wandering close-paren:
If $effect1 = True Then
        _GUICtrlTreeView_GetSelection($effect1)
        Run("Notepad.exe", "", @SW_MAXIMIZE)
    EndIf

That will fix the syntax error, but there are other problems.

The variable $effect1 is a TreeView item control ID. Why are you testing $effect1 = True?

You have to choose to either use ControlTreeView() or _GuiCtrlTreeView_* functions, and you can't directly swap them. For example, ControlTreeView() can work with the control ID of the TreeView control, while _GuiCtrlTreeView_* functions require the HANDLE to the control, so you can't pass $effect1 to _GuiCtrlTreeView_GetSelection(), and once you pass the handle you didn't save the selection to a variable.

Since you create the TreeView and the items with the native AutoIt GUI functions GuiCtrlCreateTreeView() and GuiCtrlCreateTreeViewItem(), you should avoid manipulating them with the _GuiCtrlTreeView_* UDF functions. There could be conflicts.

On the assumption that code is supposed to be "if the $effect1 TreeView item is selected then run notepad", it would be more like:

If ControlTreeView("InstaPro", "", $effectstree, "GetSelected") = "Effect 1" Then Run("Notepad.exe")

I'm having a difficult time understanding how to insert the above code in my script because the help files does not give examples on running programs but how the TreeView is suppose to coded.

I inserted the code below line 110 and when I selected Effect 1 nothing happened. How is the above suppose to be inserted in the code to work?

Case $msg = $antivirusitem
                GUICtrlSetState($stylestree, $GUI_HIDE)
                GUICtrlSetState($stylesgroup, $GUI_HIDE)
                GUICtrlSetState($aboutlabel, $GUI_HIDE)

                GUICtrlSetState($effectsgroup, $GUI_SHOW)
                GUICtrlSetState($descgroup, $GUI_SHOW)
                GUICtrlSetState($effectstree, $GUI_SHOW)
                GUICtrlSetBkColor($effectstree, 0xD0F0F0)

I'm not understanding what you want to do.

Why was the block of code I addressed earlier there at all? What was it supposed to do?

Why would you put that line after "Case $msg = $antivirusitem"? Did you only want to check the selection of "Effect 1" when $antivirusitem was selected?

If you want action when "Effect 1" is selected, you'll have to add a "Case $msg = $effect1" for it:

Case $msg = $effect1
                Run("Notepad.exe")

I apologize for not explaining in more detail what I wanted to do!

Why was the block of code I addressed earlier there at all? What was it supposed to do?

Why would you put that line after "Case $msg = $antivirusitem"? Did you only want to check the selection of "Effect 1" when $antivirusitem was selected?

Problem Solved with the code below:

If you want action when "Effect 1" is selected, you'll have to add a "Case $msg = $effect1" for it:

Case $msg = $effect1
                Run("Notepad.exe")
I did not know the answer would be so simple and I've got a lot of AutoIT3 Coding to learn.

Thank you for your help,
