ListView WM_NOTIFY Message on x64 Returning Wrong Results

[SkinnyWhiteGuy <mleo2003@…>]

I'm on Windows 7 64-bit, trying to use a WM_NOTIFY function to detect when an item is clicked on. When I run the test script in 32-bit mode, everything works fine. When I run it in 64-bit mode, the Index returned is always 0, and the SubItem is the correct index I was looking for. I am using the example script from _GUICtrlListView_ClickItem help entry to test with. I played with the structs being used, changed them around, but it seems to be the data lParam is pointing to is not the sizes MSDN says they should be.

I'm not sure what you are reporting? A bug with a UDF? AutoIt? The help file example? Your script? I'm also not sure how I run the script to see whatever error you are talking about. I see a few lines with colored text? I click them, nothing happens? Is it supposed to do anything?

[Jon]

Nevermind. I see the output in the console now. The index is wrong on x64. A quick glance at the structures look like they are using the correct types. Might need Gary to look at this one before I dig around in there.

The NMITEMACTIVATE structure is being created as 48 bytes under Win32 and 64 under x64. It should be 72 bytes under x64 - not sure where the missing bytes are yet.

Sorry about that, should have mentioned the error was shown in the console window.

I wasn't sure if the Struct was too big, or too small. Dumping the binary data of the struct using this (right after $tInfo is created within either NM_CLICK or NM_DBLCLK),

ConsoleWrite(DllStructGetData(DllStructCreate("byte& DllStructGetSize($tInfo) &", DllStructGetPtr($tInfo)), 1) & @CRLF)

It looks as if the 3rd member (an int from $tagNMHDR) is sent as 64 bit, but should be 32 bit. I tried different alignments, to see if that would help, but there was no change.

[SkinnyWhiteGuy <mleo2003@…>]

Sorry, code in last post should be:

ConsoleWrite(DllStructGetData(DllStructCreate("byte[" & DllStructGetSize($tInfo) & "]", DllStructGetPtr($tInfo)), 1) & @CRLF)

If the types are correct but the size is wrong then it sounds to me like the structure is not being aligned correctly.

May be the same problem as the one we fix in $tagNMLVKEYDOWN

Replying to Jpm:

Thanks for the suggestion, I tried it and it works for most cases, except the one I need. The MSDN article for this message says Index should return -1 when there is no item under the click (below the created items). With index changed to int_ptr, it returns 4294967295, which would be -1 as a 32 bit number.

Changing the alignment made the structure even smaller (60 bytes in x64), but still doesn't return the index clicked. When I dump the header after it was realigned, everything looks good, but the full message still shows extra null-byte padding where it doesn't need it.

[SkinnyWhiteGuy <mleo2003@…>]

Just on a hunch, I decided to check other messages related to the NMHDR struct, and other structs using WM_NOTIFY. So far, I found another help-file example that fails, but another one that works fine. The one that fails is _GUICtrlIpAddress_Create, and the one that works is _GUICtrlButton_Create. I'm not sure what the difference is, but at least I know now it's not related to just the ListView functions (nor is it my error).

When executing _GUICtrlListView_SimpleSort example script on a 32 bit XP machine it works great, but on my 64 bit Win7 machine I get the following:

Adding #AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64=n fixes it.

This looks to be the same issue as discussed in this thread (wrong structure size in x64), but I thought I'd submit it just in case.
Thanks!

Thanks guys, I just about lost it loonikg for this.

If you change the following in the file StructurConstants.au3 then it works with 32bit and 64bit.

from

Global Const $tagNMLVKEYDOWN = "align 1;" & $tagNMHDR & ";word VKey;uint Flags"

to

Global Const $tagNMLVKEYDOWN = $tagNMHDR & ";word VKey;uint Flags"

This probably applies to other structures in this file.

Forgot to mention that the bug in the current version is still available.
