Combobox in Listview

[PcExpert]

Hi all,

Is it possible to add a combobox to a listview? I've read alot of topics saying you can't, but those topics were from 2006 and 2007, so I thought that it might be possible now. What I mena is something like this, but then with a combobox?

Thanks!

[cheese]

something like this

this is checkboxes, see autoit help ListView Extended Styles $LVS_EX_CHECKBOXES and User Defined Functions _GUICtrlListView_SetItemChecked etc.

[PcExpert]

hmm, so a combobox isnt possible?

s this because it is not capable with new versions of autoit?

Thanks for your reply Martin. This include seems to have some errors when using it with the testscript provided:

It just needs a little updating. I did it some time ago.

Here is the udf

_EIPListView.au3

and here is an example

ListViewEIP.au3

I can't remember how much I played with it so no guarantees

Hello Martin,

Today i found your _EIPListView.au3. A very pretty nice tool, i am looking for a long time . But I have one little Problem and i can't solve it. In Column "Startdate" the Calendar-Control returns a Date in the long Format.

Please are you so kind and take a look on it,

Thanks a lot (Auto)Bert

I think the answer might be in the help for Function GUICtrlCreateDateGUICtrlCreateDate example 3.

Welcome to the AutoIt forums AutoBert

BTW, the _EIPList is not mine, it was written by Stephen Podhajecki aka eltorro.

Hallo Martin,

thanks for your reply,

I think the answer might be in the help for Function GUICtrlCreateDateGUICtrlCreateDate example 3.

i tried it this way in the example

Local $DTM_SETFORMAT_ = 0x1032
    Local $style = "yyyy/MM/dd"
    GUICtrlSendMsg($ListView, $LVM_SETEXTENDEDLISTVIEWSTYLE, $DTM_SETFORMAT_, $style)

but it did'n't work, the $listview is not editable after this change.

You need to send the message to the date control not the listview.

[AutoBert]

Hello Martin,

@eltorro great job, very usefull. You are the of the Listview

Impressive, but I do not understand the importance of the Global Constants which I commented out to get this to work...

You can only declare and assign a Const variable once. If you try to do it again, you will be in violation and the script will halt with a critical error.

Old scripts may have Consts in them which the AutoIt versions back then did not include them as standard. Later AutoIt versions may add the Consts so the old scripts need to comment or remove the same Consts to avoid error.
