ListView Multiselect Check - Check All Selected Item's Checkboxes

[WiSp]

What I'd like to do is if specified items are selected and then the check box on any one of the items is checked, check all unchecked items or uncheck all checked items. Hopefully that makes sense, attached is a sample mockup of the non-working code, AutoIT Version 3.3.6.1:

How do I capture the event and make it cycle through all items to make it check or uncheck all selected items? The last multiselect topic I found are all from 2007 or earlier and I'm not sure if they apply anymore.

Thanks in Advance for any help you can provide.

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <ListViewConstants.au3>

$Form1 = GUICreate("Checkbox Test", 534, 173, 192, 114)
$ListView1 = GUICtrlCreateListView("First Column|Second Column", 8, 8, 513, 153, BitOR($LVS_REPORT,$LVS_SHOWSELALWAYS), BitOR($WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE,$LVS_EX_GRIDLINES,$LVS_EX_CHECKBOXES,$LVS_EX_FULLROWSELECT))
GUICtrlSendMsg(-1, $LVM_SETCOLUMNWIDTH, 0, 200)
GUICtrlSendMsg(-1, $LVM_SETCOLUMNWIDTH, 1, 300)
$ListView1_0 = GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("First Row First Item|First Row Second Item", $ListView1)
$ListView1_1 = GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("Seconds Row First Item|Second Row Second Item", $ListView1)
$ListView1_2 = GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("Third Row First Item|Third Row Second Item", $ListView1)
$ListView1_3 = GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("Fourth Row First Item|Fourth Row Second Item", $ListView1)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

Maybe like this:

expandcollapse popup

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <ListViewConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <GuiListView.au3>

Opt("GuiOnEventMode", 1)

$Form1 = GUICreate("Checkbox Test", 600, 400)
GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "_Quit")

$iLVStyle = BitOR($LVS_REPORT, $LVS_SHOWSELALWAYS)
$iLVExtStyle = BitOR($WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE, $LVS_EX_GRIDLINES, $LVS_EX_CHECKBOXES, $LVS_EX_FULLROWSELECT)
$ListView1 = GUICtrlCreateListView("First Column|Second Column", 10, 10, 470, 380, $iLVStyle, $iLVExtStyle)
GUICtrlSendMsg(-1, $LVM_SETCOLUMNWIDTH, 0, 190)
GUICtrlSendMsg(-1, $LVM_SETCOLUMNWIDTH, 1, 190)
For $n = 0 To 9
    GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("Row: " & $n & "; First Item|Row: " & $n & "; Second Item", $ListView1)
Next

GUICtrlCreateButton("Check Selected", 490, 20, 100, 30)
GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1, "_BtnHit")
GUICtrlCreateButton("Clear Selected", 490, 70, 100, 30)
GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1, "_BtnHit")
GUICtrlCreateButton("Select All", 490, 120, 100, 30)
GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1, "_BtnHit")
GUICtrlCreateButton("Clear All", 490, 170, 100, 30)
GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1, "_BtnHit")

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
While 1
    Sleep(10)
WEnd

Func _BtnHit()
    Switch ControlGetText(@GUI_WinHandle, "", @GUI_CtrlHandle)
        Case "Check Selected"
            _LVChkBx(True, False)
        Case "Clear Selected"
            _LVChkBx(False, False)
        Case "Select All"
            _LVChkBx(True, True)
        Case "Clear All"
            _LVChkBx(False, True)
    EndSwitch
EndFunc   ;==>_BtnHit

Func _LVChkBx($f_Check, $f_All)
    Local $hLV = ControlGetHandle($Form1, "", $ListView1)
    Local $iCnt

    If $f_All Then
        _GUICtrlListView_SetItemChecked($hLV, -1, $f_Check)
    Else
        $iCnt = ControlListView($Form1, "", $hLV, "GetItemCount")
        For $n = 0 To $iCnt - 1
            If ControlListView($Form1, "", $hLV, "IsSelected", $n) Then _GUICtrlListView_SetItemChecked($hLV, $n, $f_Check)
        Next
    EndIf
EndFunc   ;==>_LVChkBx

Func _Quit()
    Exit
EndFunc   ;==>_Quit

In general, we don't recommend mixing the UDF control functions with the native AutoIt controls, but I don't think there is a way to work with an LV item checkbox without it.

Yeah I know it's messy but I really don't have a choice. Thanks for your sample code, I'll see if it integrates well with the rest of the program I'm working on, if not I hope you don't mind if I poke you again

When I'm done with it I'll post it up in the Example scripts forum. It's a program that searches for and archives old files of a specified age but also does a bit of cost analysis on how much a OU is costing the agency by storing their files on main storage vs nearline.

PsaltyDS that worked like a charm, I integrated it into the script with no difficulty. Here's a screen cap of the application, it's got a bit more work to go but it's making progress.

Thanks again!

Hi all,

just to reopen this topic, I would like to ask whether in the example it is possible to add groups and how would that look like?

Thanks!
