ListView Manipulation

Recommended Posts

I am trying to create a program with a ListView of 3 columns. With the list populated I want to read all the data from the listview into a file(only to be loaded the next time the program runs), with each listview line in a new line in the text file like so:

item1a|item1b|item1c|

item2a|item2b|item2c|

.

.

.

I just do not know how to extract all the data from the listview--I could only figure out how to extract the selected list item with GUICtrlRead(GUICtrlRead($listview)). Is there any way to get this data saved into an array!!?

I already am able to load the data from the file into the listview:

Func setAccountList($listView)
    dim $string
    dim $file
    
    $file = FileOpen("accountList.txt",0)
    If $file = -1 Then
        FileClose($file)
        $file = FileOpen("accountList.txt",2)
        MsgBox(0,"fail","fileread fail")
        FileClose($file)
        $file= FileOpen("accountList.txt",0)
    Else
        Do
            $string=FileReadLine($file)
            if $string=="" then ExitLoop
            GUICtrlCreateListViewItem($string, $listView)   
        Until $string ==""
        FileClose($file)
    EndIf
EndFunc

Many thanks for your help.

Take a look at GUIListView management in the UserDefined Functions section of the help file'

In particular _GUICtrlListView_GetItemCount() and _GUICtrlListView_GetItemTextArray()

#Include <GuiListView.au3>
#Include <Array.au3>
$Count = _GUICtrlListView_GetItemCount($listview)
Local $aArray[$Count +1]
For $I = 0 To _GUICtrlListView_GetItemCount($listview)
 $aArray[$i] = _GUICtrlListView_GetItemTextArray($listview, $i)
Next

Each element of $aArray will contain an Array of the text for the associated Item. If you prefer to just have each element contain a "|" delimited string then take a look at _ArrayToString(). Then you would change the line

$aArray[$i] = _GUICtrlListView_GetItemTextArray($listview, $i)

to

$aHold = _GUICtrlListView_GetItemTextArray($listview, $i)
$aArray[$i] = _ArrayToString($aHold, "|")

WARNING: Written on the fly and not tested

Edit: Forgot the #includes

If you want to save it to an Ini file for the next time around then use.

#Include <GuiListView.au3>
#Include <Array.au3>
$Ini = @ScriptDir & "\settings.ini"
For $I = 0 To _GUICtrlListView_GetItemCount($listview)
   $aHold = _GUICtrlListView_GetItemTextArray($listview, $i)
   IniWrite($ini, "ListView", $i,  _ArrayToString($aHold, "|"))
Next

Thank you, this works! But how do I read this file now? Sorry, I am a not familiar with ini file reading.

If FileExists $Ini) Then
   $aItems = IniReadSection($ini, "listView")
   For $i = 1 To Ubound($aItems)-1
      GUICtrlCreateListViewItem($listliew, $aItems[$i][2])
   Next
EndIf

That's assuming that the ListView has no items when you open the script.

Also if there is any chance that the number of ListViewItems will decrease when the script is running then I suggest that you delete the Ini file right after the "Next" statement in the above, then recreate it when you close the script.

If FileExists $Ini) Then
   $aItems = IniReadSection($ini, "listView")
   For $i = 1 To Ubound($aItems)-1
      GUICtrlCreateListViewItem($listliew, $aItems[$i][2])
   Next
EndIf

After Some modification of the code:

dim $aItems[99][5], $i, $Ini
    $Ini = @ScriptDir & "\settings.ini"
    If FileExists($Ini) Then
       $aItems = IniReadSection($Ini, "ListView")
       For $i = 1 To Ubound($aItems)-2
            MsgBox(0,"setacclist",$aItems[$i][1])
            GUICtrlCreateListViewItem($aItems[$i][1],$listView)
       Next
    EndIf

Originally it gave Array out of bounds error on the line:

GUICtrlCreateListViewItem($listliew, $aItems[$i][2])---and BTW the parameters are out of order

The .ini file created previously is here

[ListView]
[ListView]
0=3|col1|col2|2133
1=3|col1a|col2b|2133
2=3|col1c|col2c|2133
3=3|||

When the list view is populated at program start, column one gets filled with "3" rather than "col1". I am guessing the "3" indicates the number of columns.

In the code where you write to the ini, make this change

IniWrite($ini, "ListView", $i,  _ArrayToString($aHold, "|", 1))

And in the code you just posted.

GUICtrlCreateListViewItem($aItems[$i][1],$listView)

is correct. The [$i][2] was incorrect ( I know better),

however the Ubound($aItems) -2 should go back to Ubound($aItems)-1 or you will drop the last item.

I'm just glad it worked, like I said it was written on the fly, without testing and no sleep.
