Treeviews, Listviews and GUIGetMsg

[dazza]

At the mo, the only way I can capture a mouse click or cursor in a treeview or listview is to store every item handle in an array. And then in the GUIGetMsg, check the $msg against each entry in the array. Does AutoIT have a simple method to check all entries in a listview/treeview?

Yes, have a look at _GUICtrlListView_Create in the autoit help, section User Defined Functions. This should give you a good overview.

Yeesh. That WM_NOTIFY is one hideous piece of code, and I read somewhere in here that WM_NOTIFY should be used as little as possible as it clugs up the processor.

So there are only two options:

1) WM_NOTIFY

2) Store every item in an array and check GUIGetMsg() against it

If this is the case then AutoIT really needs a new function for those controls with multiple entries.

I use;

_GUICtrlTreeView_GetSelection($treeView)

And if you want the text from that item use:

$text=_GUICtrlTreeView_GetText($treeView,$selected)

It will return the handle of the selected item

Using WMI_NOTIFY I have no problem with CPU usage. The code in the example is a bit "ugly", but when you remove the _DebugPrint code it looks much better.

Many thanks guys.
