List View Help

[dantay9]

I am making a internet filter as an upgrade to the one currently installed with windows and as a learning experience. I have most of the script working fine, but I can't get the list view to work correctly. I am having trouble with deleting an item. I tried to used the _GUICtrlListView_DeleteItemsSelected function to delete the highlighted item, but it isn't working.

GUISetIcon("D:\005.ico")
$PageControl1 = GUICtrlCreateTab(10, 10, 396, 256)
GUICtrlSetResizing(-1, $GUI_DOCKWIDTH + $GUI_DOCKHEIGHT)

GUICtrlCreateTabItem("")
$OK_Button = GUICtrlCreateButton("&OK", 88, 276, 75, 23)
$Cancel_Button = GUICtrlCreateButton("&Cancel", 252, 276, 75, 23)

How can I get the highlighted item in the list and then delete it when the remove site button is pressed?

Get the index to the selected item, then pass it to DeleteItemsSelected.

I'm still having trouble with the deleting part. Maybe my whole code will help.

As per the help file, once an item is selected pass the list view down.

I assume you create the list view correctly and it displays - Select an item in $ApprovedSites_ListView then do _GUICtrlListView_DeleteItemsSelected($ApprovedSites_ListView)).

Be sure to look at the return value and make sure $ApprovedSites_ListView has something selected. Same goes for $BlockedSites_ListView.
