Incremental search in owner and custom drawn ListViews

I couldn't change the column size of the virtual ListView.

This specifically prohibits the resizing with the hands.

There was a bug with a second column update. See earlier in this thread.

@pixelsearch.

Thank you for your excellent example.
But the following happens:
Version 2K and an example of align columns from Larsj are made without using WM_DRAWITEM.
If leave a column selection through a combobox and remove options the right mouse click, can even use the standard context menu.
But in your last versions 2m and 2p, WM_DRAWITEM returned again and it does (for us nonprofessional) join together all functionality. 🙄
Do you have the opportunity to combine these functions, and preferably based on the script without WM_DRAWITEM.
Many thanks.

Hi, version "2q" below includes LarsJ column align. It is based on WM_DRAWITEM and it will be my last update for the moment.

You should be able to combine the present functionalities with $NM_CUSTOMDRAW instead of $WM_DRAWITEM, not forgetting the special context menu found in this thread, and not forgetting Norm73's wish to immediately scroll on 1st match, for example like in the pic below (2 first non-matching lines left visible on purpose) . The pic below is not a script, it's just the way it could appear :

scroll.png.407d2294178ca6099fad10cc85d235e9.png

@Norm73 unfortunately _GUICtrlListView_EnsureVisible (as indicated in one of your last post) isn't enough to do what you want. It sometimes display the requested item at the bottom of the screen (if you were selecting an item placed below it)
LVM_GETTOPINDEX is useful to retrieve the index of the topmost visible item, but unfortunately there is no "LVM_SETTOPINDEX" to force an item to be placed at topmost position.

After some searches here & there, I tested a way that can do it and it seems to work fine. Here is the code in case anyone is interested :

;~      ; It works !!!
;~      Local $iRow1stMatch = 200
;~      Local $iGetTopIndex = _GUICtrlListView_GetTopIndex($g_idListView)
;~      Local $iGetItemSpacingY = _GUICtrlListView_GetItemSpacingY($g_idListView, True) ; only once
;~      _GUICtrlListView_Scroll($g_idListView, 0, ($iRow1stMatch - $iGetTopIndex) * $iGetItemSpacingY)

Now it's time to rest, no more AutoIt during several days. Good luck guys and see you one of these days :bye:

Wonderful!
Thank you very much and have a good rest! 🙃

Thank LarsJ and pixelsearch for helping beginners.

For two weeks I've been struggling with the fact that this will work as a universal UDF function for all of my ListViews. It would be a wrong way to always create the same function for every list.

If possible, please post this version as well:

Yes, please !

And, if possible, more versions in a ZIP file.

I have not managed to run some of them because they were incomplete.

In any case, thank you very much to all.

This is my attempt to make the pixselsearch script a little more flexible so that it can be used in any GUI with virtual ListView.
Realized functions:

Registration
Search
Sorting
Selected row text
Unregistration

@Norm73 unfortunately _GUICtrlListView_EnsureVisible (as indicated in one of your last post) isn't enough to do what you want. It sometimes display the requested item at the bottom of the screen (if you were selecting an item placed below it)
LVM_GETTOPINDEX is useful to retrieve the index of the topmost visible item, but unfortunately there is no "LVM_SETTOPINDEX" to force an item to be placed at topmost position.

After some searches here & there, I tested a way that can do it and it seems to work fine. Here is the code in case anyone is interested :
;~      ; It works !!!
;~      Local $iRow1stMatch = 200
;~      Local $iGetTopIndex = _GUICtrlListView_GetTopIndex($g_idListView)
;~      Local $iGetItemSpacingY = _GUICtrlListView_GetItemSpacingY($g_idListView, True) ; only once
;~      _GUICtrlListView_Scroll($g_idListView, 0, ($iRow1stMatch - $iGetTopIndex) * $iGetItemSpacingY)

I've tried your example.
It worked well too, that's why I incorporated your idea into my code so that anyone can use it if necessary.

Here I tried to implement different search options using great examples from LarsJ and pixelsearch.
Everything (seems) to be working fine, but I am bothered by one little thing that I cannot change myself. So I ask for help from more experienced people. The point is that the search is always performed in a "static" array and the search result is always sorted exactly like the array. For example, if I sorted the second column before searching, the sorting isn't preserved after the search.
If a filter is used to search, ie unnecessary lines are deleted, this is usually not noticed and is not a problem. However, if the scrolling search is used, it is immediately noticeable that the sorting has been reset.
Please help me to solve this problem so that the sorting would also be saved after the search.

Hi Norm73
It's not obvious to have both options (your combo "Scroll" and "Filter") in the same script, because it may require to work on different sub-arrays when you choose each option. Also the fact that we can sort on a column while searching in another column makes it hard too. Plus this "All" option in the Combo, all these permanent and temporary indexes etc...

LarsJ himself splitted both options in 2 separate scripts (which were both very inspiring), named :
1) Incremental text search.au3
2) Show matching rows only

A couple of days ago, I ended a script (named "2s") mixing both options as you will see below, but it still requires some testing. I didn't want to post it because it will be a bit hard to maintain and my health isn't going really well (eyes, ears... you name it) so I won't come on the Forum as frequently as I used to, Times are changing, unfortunately...

Anyway, in case it may help you (or other users) here is the most interesting functionality in this version (a context menu allowing to display only matching rows, or all rows) . Pics being better than words :

2038846031_contextmenu1.png.6bad990e24968620087e6a26dc644a56.png

1702107125_contextmenu2.png.c0fd338941c3dfc47a37d7a7ea1edcb5.png

The context menu option "Right-click Headers" is checkable too. When checked, it allows to switch quickly from a search column to another. Now the full script "2s" :

#include <ComboConstants.au3>
#include <EditConstants.au3>
#include <GuiListView.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <StaticConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include "RandomArray.au3" ; LarsJ
#include "DrawItem.au3"    ;  "

Concerning a new function _ComputeLV_Height() found at the very end of the script, it should deserve explanations in a separate post. Basically, the function computes an accurate ListView height, which will be used during Gui and LV creation. For example, in the script, we want 40 full rows in LV, without having any additional vertical pixels (half rows) at the bottom of the LV. If I'm not mistaken, this is how LarsJ's "788" listview height (40 full rows) is computed :

LarsJ's 788 LV height =
=> 40 rows X 19  = 760
=> Header height =  24
=> 2 x 2 borders =   4 ($WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE)
760  +  24  +  4 = 788

When we run the script, each one of us will have a different ListView height because of our different OS's (or the modif. we did in Windows parameters). On my computer, it's not 788 but 624 which is returned by _ComputeLV_Height (to have 40 full rows). Here is a pic of my last 40th row, without a single additional or missing pixel (1st row is 0, which explains "39" written at the end of the last row). Let's hope the function will work for any user.

1782416087_noncroppedrow.png.e02a6e3d863836527dd3fe3e9dc146b5.png

By the way, I got rid of the Combo "All" option in the script, as it is already complicated enough. Thanks for not asking new implementations as I won't be here often from now on. Good luck to you all and stay healthy :bye:

Edit #1 - update June 10th 2021 : disable 2 search buttons (Prev / Next) if number of matched rows = number of initial array rows, when search field is not empty (a . with RegEx search for instance that matches all rows) and "Show all rows" is ticked in context menu.

Hi pixelsearch

Thank you for your efforts and explanations.

Sorry if I was too impatient or persistent.

I understand you well as I have had similar problems lately myself.☹️

I don't know if this would be appropriate, but I wish you a speedy recovery...

P.S.

I was not very attentive, but after looking at my code with a fresh head, I found a solution for my question.

The solution turned out to be very simple.

Added two new lines and that's it.

Hi, thanks for your example!

is $LVS_EX_HEADERDRAGDROP style acceptable? i found a problem about Zero column draged.

column 0 rectangle is not correct after dragged to other column position, especially horizontal direction listview croll.

both : _GUICtrlListView_GetSubItemRect and _GUICtrlListView_GetItemRect can't get the correct positon of column zero, any other idea about this question?

@Norm73 it's always appropriate when it comes directly from the heart. Thanks a lot
Concerning your last script, I found this kind of issue (pic below). Here is a way to reproduct it in 5 steps :

* Choose column 1 (combo) i.e Strings-2 got the orange marker above (searched column)
* Edit search : type an a
* Column string-2 : one left click to sort ascending
* Combo : switch from Filter to Scroll
* Column string-2 : one left click to sort descending. Display :

Norm73a.png.2c909cb70c66d001988ee434880047e1.png

Maybe the 2 new lines you added 1 hour ago fixed it ? Fingers crossed but I doubt it. I remember having had exactly the same issue sometimes, while scripting version "2s", before using the 2nd set of array $g_aSubArray2, plus the new array $aSearch. If you look at code in "2s" you'll find several additional tests when it comes to sorting or switching from "Filter" to "Scroll" as you name it, (which corresponds to my context menu option "Show all rows" when it's checked / unchecked).

Also, I remember this kind of line that fixed the issue. The index sort function Func _UpdateIndex() needs to be updated. In the precedent versions (before "2s") it was :

$g_tIndex = _SortArrayStruct($g_aSubArray, $iCol, $g_iSearch)

Now in "2s", it becomes :

$g_tIndex = _SortArrayStruct($g_aSubArray, $iCol, $g_bShowAllRows ? $g_iRows : $g_iSearch)

This kind of ternary test in now found in plenty of lines in "2s", this could explain why you're having the issue. Good luck.

is $LVS_EX_HEADERDRAGDROP style acceptable?

@powerofos it's an interesting question but as the data source is an array, then maybe it could work if the array was rearranged internally after you drag a header to another place, not forgetting the sub-arrays and related arrays like these ones :

Global $g_aCols = ["Strings", "Integers", "Floats", "Dates", "Times", "R/C"], $g_aWidths = [230, 61, 124, 70, 60, 60]
Global $g_aColAligns[$g_iCols] = [2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1] ; $HDF_LEFT = 0, $HDF_RIGHT = 1, $HDF_CENTER = 2

But I'm not even sure of what I just wrote, it requires tests. I remember having used $LVS_EX_HEADERDRAGDROP in my CSV file editor and it worked really fine (though it wasn't a virtual LV). I wish the solution is to keep the arrays untouched but I don't remember exactly how it worked there !

As you're using the script, may I suggest you download the "2s" version just above because it's the version that could eventually be updated.

But please think twice before allowing the draggable header style : wouldn't it be better to create the LV with the headers correctly placed and keep them untouched ?

In this link, LarsJ wrote :

"A workaround for all these HDN_DIVIDERDBLCLICK issues is to set correct column widths from the start, and then disable column resize through dragging/double-clicking header dividers by adding the HDS_NOSIZING style to the header control"

I don't know what LarsJ thinks about the $LVS_EX_HEADERDRAGDROP style when it comes to Virtual ListViews. Maybe he'll tell us. I'll try to test it when I got some time.

I thought you weren't going to release your latest version so I decided to do the best I can myself.

Now I will deal with the latest version.

And I'm looking forward to your CSV editor. I hope one day you will post it too.

Now in "2s", it becomes :
$g_tIndex = _SortArrayStruct($g_aSubArray, $iCol, $g_bShowAllRows ? $g_iRows : $g_iSearch)

Thank you very much! :yes:
I fixed everything.

@Norm73 Could you send the hole code, please !!

Hi ldub

If no errors are found, this script will no longer be corrected.

I think it's better to keep an eye on the latest versions from pixelsearch.

@Norm73 glad you made it

@powerofos I tried to script a version "2t" with draggable headers, but I'm not really convinced with it, we'll see...
