Moderators Melba23 Posted November 24, 2013 Author Moderators Share Posted November 24, 2013 Iczer,I have worked on your requests and this is the result:- different title lengths --> different $iMinWidth. Not implemented - I am not adding all the API calls (either via the WinAPI #include file or via DllCall) to the function. I repeat that the main use I see for this function is debugging - the title is meant to be a quick reminder of the contents, not "War and Peace".- $iMax_ColWidth gets applied only in case of GUI size gets greater than @DesktopWidth. Excellent suggestion and I think I have it working. - if GUI size still greater than @DesktopWidth, horizontal scrollbar appear. I have adjusted the code to allow for the possibility of a vertical scrollbar appearing - I now only get a horizontal scrollbar if really needed. Try changing the array dimensions to [15][5] and see what you get.I have added the revised code to the first post - please check it out and see if it meets with your approval.

Moderators Melba23 Posted November 24, 2013 Author Moderators Share Posted November 24, 2013 boththose,A timeout would easy to implement - if I were to be persuaded that there was a real need. But that is going to be pretty difficult seeing that (for the umpteenth time) my view that the function is essentially for debugging - and so in my experience is used to test whether the script should in fact progress at all!

czardas Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 (edited) The more functionality you add, the higher the overhead. A debugging tool should have minimum overhead (as a matter of course). I like it plain and simple. The one thing I think the original _ArrayDisplay lacks is range limit options. Other than that it was just a bit buggy but quite useable. Range options would be fantastic for debugging large arrays. Far quicker with far less overhead and extremely useful.

Moderators Melba23 Posted November 25, 2013 Author Moderators Share Posted November 25, 2013 czardas, Range options would be fantastic for debugging large arraysI will look into it today - at first glance it does not seem too difficult to implement.

czardas Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 (edited) It shouldn't be too difficult to implement. Being able to look at a small section of a 1,000,000 element array would be more useful than looking at the whole array in many situations. You might want to have start and stop parameters in 2 dimensions. Maybe pass an array with four values to reduce it to a single parameter - more complicated for beginners though. It's your call. I'm sure you can come up with something easy to understand and useful at the same time - you normally do. Imagine you wanted to scan an array such as $aArray[1000][1000], 20 columns at a time in a For loop with Step 20. Does this give you any ideas? Even just using 2 parameters would be cool enough though. If it's adding too much complication, then keep it simple or leave it out. I was just thinking others might also find it useful besides myself. Edited November 25, 2013 by czardas operator64 ArrayWorkshop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jchd Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 (edited) I don't see a timeout feature as important. Either there is a human there in which case hitting Escape or closing the window is not overly painful, or there is noone in which case there is no point displaying anything. About introducing range parameters, I don't like it that much either. My reasonning is that if one uses the function for debugging or for user's information/validation of a really large array (say 1 million rows), then yes there must be some kind of range limiting. But in my book this limit doesn't belong to the function. If in your code you can provide range limiting parameters, then you can as easily clone a small part of the array where the issue lie and display just that with the function as it is now. The advantage here is that you can as well fill your problem array with non-contiguous rows, something which would be cumbersome in practice to pass as parameters.

jchd Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 I would say this is a specific case which has to be handled by custom code which requires cooperation between the core application and the function. This is not something in the realm of a standard UDF AFAICT.

The advantage here is that you can as well fill your problem array with non-contiguous rows, something which would be cumbersome in practice to pass as parameters. It was merely a suggestion. I hate waiting for listviews to populate with information to simply check everything seems to be in order. The only way to handle so much data is to loop through it and generally making one or two changes to each element. If I have ten loops and something seems broken, I throw in _ArrayDisplay after each loop to track down the issue. It's a simple one line coding solution. I think the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, but a special large array _ArrayDisplay with such features could be coded by myself anyway. Like I said, it's the only thing I miss. Edit Of course if nobody else want's such a feature, then fair enough.I would put it at the top of my priority list personally (even in place of existing features). I do however appreciate that the parameter list is overpopulated already and this is more than enough reason to exclude range features.

iamtheky Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 (edited) Non-Interaction can now be resolved as the beta version responds to _Timer_SetTimer (in the example, if you add it right after GUI creation you will see it does not work for the first call, but all subsequent ones until the error about not passing an array). I concede that it is a hella custom concern, thanks for forcing me to explore the beta a tad more.

Moderators Melba23 Posted November 25, 2013 Author Moderators Share Posted November 25, 2013 DatMCEyeBall,When I want your advice on posting I will ask for it - until then..... boththose,Glad you found a solution - I will drop any thought of a timeout. czardas, I have added the "display range" code as I can imagine it being useful and (importantly) it was not difficult to do. The old $iItemLimit parameter has been replaced by $sArrayRange - this sets the required rows and columns as follows:"3:7|5:9" shows rows 3 to 7 and columns 5 to 9 - both zero-based of course Omitting the "|" or setting the parameter to "" or Default shows the entire array Omitting a row/column range or using just a single digit without the ":" shows all of the rows/columns - e.g. "2-5|" will show all columns of rows 2-5. Use "n:n" to display a single row/column New code (with a bugfix for the column sizing) in the first post - let me know what you think.

czardas Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 (edited) Well I'm grateful for you taking the time to try my suggestion. I like it very much. Of course if people prefer not to have this option, then maybe I was wrong. I will definately use it if you keep it the way it is. Quite often I just want to make sure information looks right, and the old _ArrayDisplay isn't always up to the task. I think it stops displaying information after so many rows. With this implementation, that particular problem is solved. Not that I totally disagree with what jchd said earlier though. Thanks again.
