blum Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 (edited) I want to use a listbox to display log entries. The newest entry one should be the topmost entry within the listbox, so the user can overview the last events without scrolling. The following function displays the message strings in the wrong order within the listbox - but i don't know why. The routine puts $vMessage in front of $vLogString, so the latest message is saved before the older ones. I misaccepted that the first substring is displayed in the first line of the listbox - wrong, it will be displayed in the last line; in the order of their occurrence within the code execution. But this is not the order of this routine - can anybody help me with the logic? Have I missed a necessary command? Version is AI 3.3.0.0 stable. Global $vLogString="" AddLogEntry("line1") AddLogEntry("line2") Func AddLogEntry($vMessage) $vMessage=@Hour & ":" & @MIN & ":" & @SEC & " " & $vMessage if $vLogString<>"" Then $vMessage = $vMessage & "|" $vLogString = $vMessage & $vLogString Dim $vData="" $vData=StringSplit($vLogString,"|") GUICtrlSetData($ListLog, "") For $i=1 to UBound($vData)-1 ;msgbox (0,"",UBound($vData)-1 & "/" & $i & ": " & $vData[$i]) GUICtrlSetData($ListLog, $vData[$i]) Next EndFunc Output in listbox is: 10:15:05: line 1 10:15:10: line 2 ...but assumed is 10:15:10:line 2 10:15:05:line 1 Edited May 16, 2009 by blum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Melba23 Posted May 16, 2009 Moderators Share Posted May 16, 2009 blum,When you create the listbox, I presume you did not specify any styles - in that case you get the default: $LBS_SORT, $WS_BORDER, $WS_VSCROLL. As a result, your listbox is automatically sorting the input for you.Add the following style to your listbox: BitOr($WS_BORDER, $WS_VSCROLL) and then your function can read:Func AddLogEntry($vMessage) $vMessage = "|" & @Hour & ":" & @MIN & ":" & @SEC & " " & $vMessage $vLogString = $vMessage & $vLogString GUICtrlSetData($ListLog, $vLogString) EndFuncAdding the leading "|" makes the data replace the existing data - so no need to empty the listbox first. ;-)Works for me!M23 Any of my own code posted anywhere on the forum is available for use by others without any restriction of any kind Open spoiler to see my UDFs: Spoiler ArrayMultiColSort ---- Sort arrays on multiple columnsChooseFileFolder ---- Single and multiple selections from specified path treeview listingDate_Time_Convert -- Easily convert date/time formats, including the language usedExtMsgBox --------- A highly customisable replacement for MsgBoxGUIExtender -------- Extend and retract multiple sections within a GUIGUIFrame ---------- Subdivide GUIs into many adjustable framesGUIListViewEx ------- Insert, delete, move, drag, sort, edit and colour ListView itemsGUITreeViewEx ------ Check/clear parent and child checkboxes in a TreeViewMarquee ----------- Scrolling tickertape GUIsNoFocusLines ------- Remove the dotted focus lines from buttons, sliders, radios and checkboxesNotify ------------- Small notifications on the edge of the displayScrollbars ----------Automatically sized scrollbars with a single commandStringSize ---------- Automatically size controls to fit textToast -------------- Small GUIs which pop out of the notification area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEOSoft Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 What Melba23 said plus what I said. Also I would change the line $vMessage = "|" & @Hour & ":" & @MIN & ":" & @SEC & " " & $vMessage To $vMessage = StringFormat("%s:%s:%s %s", @Hour, @Min, @Sec, $vMessage) You may find that the change comes in handy later on George Question about decompiling code?

blum Posted May 16, 2009 Author Share Posted May 16, 2009 ahhh, i see. at first i missed the parameter to the listbox. it's right, the auto-sort was applied. the other tips are great, too. at first i tried to generate the listbox content via the delimited string but the default sort-flag mixed up my order. the array calls are just to demonstrate the step by step addition. now the routine is such short as melba suggested. thanx!
