Looping an array to ListView

[Tomoya]

I have a file that I am trying to add to a list view that has multiple columns. I am having a problem getting it to add the correct items to the correct subitem's column. I think I almost have it but I'm sure I am missing some small thing.

The files looks as such.

1;2;3;4;5;6

Here is the function.

Func _FillList()
    $array = 1
    $data = 1
    Local $file = @ScriptDir & "" & "mob.txt"
    $data = FileRead($file)
    $array = StringSplit($data, ";", 1)
    For $n = 1 To UBound($array) - 1
        If Mod($n, 2) Then
            $subitem = _GUICtrlListView_AddItem($ListView, $array[$n])
        Else
            _GUICtrlListView_AddSubItem($ListView, $subitem, $array[$n], 1)
            $a = UBound($array) - 1
            If $n + 1 > $a Then
                ExitLoop
            Else
                _GUICtrlListView_AddSubItem($ListView, $subitem, $array[$n + 1], 2)
            EndIf
        EndIf
    Next
EndFunc ;===>_FillList

Is there a simple way to just tell it to move to the next item in the loop? Currently the way it is displaying is

1 | 2 | 3
3 | 4 | 5
5 | 6

Tomoya,

And what do you want it to look like?

Ha I guess that would be needed! Just a simple.

1 | 2 | 3
4 | 5 | 6

Tomoya,

I would Step through the array in the required number of columns - like this:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <GUIListView.au3>

$hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 500, 500)

$cListView = GUICtrlCreateListView("", 10, 10, 310, 200)
_GUICtrlListView_AddColumn($cListView, "Col 1", 100)
_GUICtrlListView_AddColumn($cListView, "Col 2", 100)
_GUICtrlListView_AddColumn($cListView, "Col 3", 100)

GUISetState()

; Simulate loading file
$sData = "1;2;3;4;5;6"
$aData = StringSplit($sData, ";")

For $i = 1 To $aData[0] Step 3
    $iItem = _GUICtrlListView_AddItem($cListView, $aData[$i])
    _GUICtrlListView_AddSubItem($cListView, $iItem, $aData[$i + 1], 1)
    _GUICtrlListView_AddSubItem($cListView, $iItem, $aData[$i + 2], 2)
Next


While 1
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Much simpler.

That worked perfectly... I had no idea about step and for what I was trying to accomplish it is much more efficient. I have a personal question for you if you don't mind. What is your background in AutoIt? I see that you answer almost every question with a elegant and simple solution posted here and that is awesome! Do you currently have any AutoIt challenges that "Stump" you right now?

Thanks for helping the community.

Tomoya,

What is your background in AutoIt?

I discovered AutoIt shortly before I joined the forum - but I have been coding as a hobby for some 45 years (mostly FORTRAN, BASIC (of several dialects), ASM, and a few others).

any AutoIt challenges that "Stump" you right now?

That would be telling!

Thanks for helping the community

It is my pleasure to be here.

Tomoya,

(bowing to M23...)

This may interest you. This uses some of the techniques used in _arraydisplay with automatic column adjustment (code from M23). I find this simpler than using the listview UDF's, although my experience with listview controls is limited.

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <GUIListView.au3>

local $col_N    = 50    ; number of columns in listview
local $item_N   = 128   ; number of test entries to generate

local $col_W    = @DesktopWidth/$col_N
local $gui010   = GUICreate("Test LV", ($col_W * $col_N) - 10, 500)
local $clsize   = wingetclientsize($gui010)
local $lst010   = GUICtrlCreateListView('', 0, 0, $clsize[0], $clsize[1] - 100,-1,bitor($LVS_EX_GRIDLINES,$LVS_EX_FULLROWSELECT))
for $1 = 1 to $col_N
    _GUICtrlListView_AddColumn($lst010, 'Col ' & stringformat('%02i',$1), $col_W)
Next

; generate a bunch of delimited test data.  The '|' is the column delimiter, the ';' is the item delimiter

local $sdata
for $1 = 1 to $item_N
    $sdata &= $1 & '|'
    if mod($1,$col_N) = 0 then $sdata &= ';'
next

local $adata = stringsplit($sdata,';',2)

For $i = 0 To ubound($aData) - 1
    GUICtrlCreateListViewItem($aData[$i], $lst010)
Next

; adjust column widths to the wider of column header or column data

; This magic compliments of Melba23

for $1 = 0 to _GUICtrlListView_GetColumnCount($lst010) + 1
