Files/Folders in listviews

[photonbuddy]

Trying to think of an appropriate title for this was hard

I am writing a project that deals with multiple folders and files stored in a database. This database may have 10's of thousands of entries in it, each line holding the full path of a filename.

I have worked through most of the problems, but am hitting a bit of a wall with this one.

After reading of the 4096 entry limit of a listview, I decided to change the way this section of the program is handled.

This part of the program is designed to allow the user to select files and add them to a favorites list.

Initially, everything was working pretty good using _GUICtrlListViewCopyItems, but once I loaded-up the database with ~15,000 files, that no longer worked (and took me an hour to figure it out).

Now, I have re-designed the window to have a listview that lists the folders, then a listview to then list the files in that folder, and finally a listview for the favorites. After selecting 1 or more entries from the files listview, the user hits a button, and the favorites listview is updated accordingly.

The code so far generates a list of folders by running through the array holding the filenames, sorts the array, and then removes the duplicate folder's (this needs to be done because of the way the database is sorted).

The problem I have now is determining that the user has clicked an item in the folders listview. I initially thought that GUIGetMsg() would return an event to say that something had occured within the listview, but it appears that selecting an item doesn't generate a message.

I did some reading on here, and saw the suggestion of using the $GUI_EVENT_PRIMARYDOWN flag, But that seems a little over-the-top, seeing as how the user might not even be clicking in the listview.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to get around this?

Or, any ideas on a better way to structure this routine?

two just to read a selection in a treeview

; read the selection
$item1 = GUICtrlRead($treeview)
$item2 = GUICtrlRead($item1, 1)

hope those help
