Multiple directory select?


Recommended Posts

For a GUI front-end for a command-line AV scanner, I need to pop up a dialog in which the user can select multiple directories. The ideal return value would be a space-separated string (with double quotes around directories that have embedded spaces), but I can manipulate just about any return value. The FleSelectDirectory function is close, but it only selects one directory. I don't find any "multiple select directory box" scripts in Google or the AutoIT includes or this forum. I'm surprised that nobody seems to have done this before ...

Use the CTRL key to select more than one. So <CTRL> + Click. That might work. Edited by snowmaker

It's been done before using either a Treeview or a Listview control. You'll have to search example scripts. Somehow I thought there was also something in the help file but I can't see it now.

First of all I want to apologize for resurrecting an old thread but I didn't find the answer on the formns and wanted to share my snippet/solution for the Googlers that find this post.

#include <GuiTreeView.au3>

Dim $hTreeView = ControlGetHandle("Job Scheduling Wizard", "What computers should the job(s) apply to?", 1175)

TreeViewMultiSelect($hTreeView, "ComputerName_1")
TreeViewMultiSelect($hTreeView, "ComputerName_2")
TreeViewMultiSelect($hTreeView, "ComputerName_3")

Func TreeViewMultiSelect($hTreeView, $ThingToSelect)
    Dim $hItem = _GUICtrlTreeView_FindItem($hTreeView, $ThingToSelect)
    If Not _GUICtrlTreeView_GetSelected($hTreeView, $hItem) Then
        Send("{CTRLDOWN}")
            _GUICtrlTreeView_SelectItem($hTreeView, $hItem)
        Send("{CTRLUP}")
    EndIf
EndFunc
