GUIListViewEx - BugFix Version 6 Apr 24

robertocm · July 25, 2018

Dear Melba23,

In the context of reloading the ListView, it seems that if we first click some row (select a row), then _GUICtrlListView_DeleteAllItems function seems to make the _EventMonitor to return 9 with a row value of -1, and also column -1

But this is observed only first time (first reloding).

This are the steps to reproduce:

- We first click on some row

- Then reloads the ListView: first time we get 9 wit a -1 row

Better to explain with this example (click the button for reloading to reproduce):

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

#include "GUIListViewEx.au3"

$hGUI = GUICreate("", 500, 340)
$cReLoad = GUICtrlCreateButton("Reload ListView", 150, 300, 150, 30)
$cExit = GUICtrlCreateButton("Exit", 350, 300, 110, 30)

; Create ListView
$cLV = GUICtrlCreateListView("Zero Column|One Column|Two Column|Three Column", 10, 30, 480, 260, BitOR($LVS_SINGLESEL, $LVS_SHOWSELALWAYS))

For $i = 0 To 3
    _GUICtrlListView_SetColumnWidth($cLV, $i, 100)
Next

;Add data
For $i = 0 To 5
    GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("Item 0-" & $i & "|SubItem 1-" & $i & "|SubItem 2-" & $i & "|SubItem 3-" & $i, $cLV)
Next
;Read the current ListView content
$aLV = _GUIListViewEx_ReadToArray($cLV)
; Inititate the ListView using that content
$iLV = _GUIListViewEx_Init($cLV, $aLV)
;Set all column editable
_GUIListViewEx_SetEditStatus($iLV, "*")

;Register for sorting, dragging and editing
_GUIListViewEx_MsgRegister()

GUISetState()

;Send a mouse click to the listview
ControlClick($hGUI, "", $cLV)

While 1

    $iMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $iMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, $cExit
            Exit
        Case $cReLoad
            Reload_ListView()
    EndSwitch

    $vRet = _GUIListViewEx_EventMonitor()
    If @error Then
        MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Error", "Event error: " & @error)
    EndIf
    Switch @extended
        Case 1 ; This is returned after an edit attempt
            If $vRet = "" Then
                MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Edit", "Edit aborted" & @CRLF)
            Else
                MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Edit", "Successful edit" & @CRLF)
            EndIf
        Case 9 ; This is returned after a selection change
            If $vRet[1] = -1 Then MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Selection changed", "New selection:" & @CRLF & "Row: " & $vRet[1] & @CRLF & "Col: " & $vRet[2])
    EndSwitch

 WEnd

Func Reload_ListView()
   ;first clear the current content
   _GUICtrlListView_DeleteAllItems($cLV)
   ;close it within the UDF
   _GUIListViewEx_Close(0)
   ;reload the ListView with the same data
   _GUICtrlListView_AddArray($cLV, $aLV)
   ;Initiate LVEx - using same filling array
   _GUIListViewEx_Init($cLV, $aLV)
   ;Set all columns editable
   _GUIListViewEx_SetEditStatus($iLV, "*")
EndFunc

Please also let me comment a little doubt, ¿is it possible not returning 9 just after an edit?

It seems that editing always make the _EventMonitor to return 9

Many Thanks for your time!

robertocm,

I have discovered a few other cases where the UDF returns 9 when it should not. I was trying to prevent these exceptions from firing the "user selection" event, but as there are so many I am now looking to limit the event return to when the user has clicked the mouse or used the arrow keys. The real world is a bit complicated and taking up my time at the moment, but I hope to have something for you to try and break soon.

Dear Melba23,

Many Thanks again, and don't worry to reply soon, for me is fully functional,

I'm always sincerely impressioned by your work in the forum.

Let me share an idea for the future: it should not be difficult to get a transparent label actioning as a highlighting frame that moves following the selected subitem (in short: similar to the visual effect of a selected cell in a excel sheet)

Here a first try:

#include <GuiConstantsEx.au3>
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

#include <StaticConstants.au3>

#include "GUIListViewEx.au3"

;Create GUI
$hGUI = GUICreate("LVEx Example GetLastSel", 640, 510)

$FrameLabel = GUICtrlCreateLabel("", -1, -1, 150, 40, $SS_BLACKFRAME)
GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, $GUI_BKCOLOR_TRANSPARENT)

; Create ListView
Global $cListView_Left = GUICtrlCreateListView("Tom|Dick|Harry", 10, 40, 300, 300, $LVS_SHOWSELALWAYS)
_GUICtrlListView_SetExtendedListViewStyle($cListView_Left, BitOR($LVS_EX_FULLROWSELECT, $LVS_EX_CHECKBOXES))
_GUICtrlListView_SetColumnWidth($cListView_Left, 0, 93)
_GUICtrlListView_SetColumnWidth($cListView_Left, 1, 93)
_GUICtrlListView_SetColumnWidth($cListView_Left, 2, 93)

; Create ListView
Global $cListView_Right = GUICtrlCreateListView("Tom|Dick|Harry", 310, 40, 300, 300, $LVS_SHOWSELALWAYS)
_GUICtrlListView_SetExtendedListViewStyle($cListView_Right, BitOR($LVS_EX_FULLROWSELECT, $LVS_EX_CHECKBOXES))
_GUICtrlListView_SetColumnWidth($cListView_Right, 0, 93)
_GUICtrlListView_SetColumnWidth($cListView_Right, 1, 93)
_GUICtrlListView_SetColumnWidth($cListView_Right, 2, 93)

; Create array and fill Left listview
Global $aLV_List[10]
For $i = 0 To UBound($aLV_List) - 1
    $aLV_List[$i] = "Tom " & $i & "|Dick " & $i & "|Harry " & $i
    GUICtrlCreateListViewItem($aLV_List[$i], $cListView_Left)
    GUICtrlCreateListViewItem($aLV_List[$i], $cListView_Right)
Next

; Initiate LVEx
Global $iLV_Index_Left = _GUIListViewEx_Init($cListView_Left, $aLV_List)
_GUIListViewEx_SetEditStatus($iLV_Index_Left, "*")
$iLV_Index_Right = _GUIListViewEx_Init($cListView_Right, $aLV_List)
_GUIListViewEx_SetEditStatus($iLV_Index_Right, "*")

$cExit_Button = GUICtrlCreateButton("Exit", 430, 390, 200, 110)

_GUIListViewEx_SetActive($iLV_Index_Left)

; Register for sorting, dragging and editing
_GUIListViewEx_MsgRegister()

GUISetState()

While 1
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, $cExit_Button
            Exit
    EndSwitch

    $vRet = _GUIListViewEx_EventMonitor()
    If @error Then
        MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Error", "Event error: " & @error)
    EndIf
    Switch @extended
        Case 1 ; This is returned after an edit attempt
            If $vRet = "" Then
                MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Edit", "Edit aborted" & @CRLF)
            Else
                MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Edit", "Successful edit" & @CRLF)
            EndIf
        Case 9 ; This is returned after a selection change
            ;MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Selection changed", "New selection:" & @CRLF & "Row: " & $vRet[1] & @CRLF & "Col: " & $vRet[2])
            $aRect = _GUICtrlListView_GetSubItemRect($cListView_Left, $vRet[1], $vRet[2])
            ControlMove($hGUI, "", $FrameLabel, $aRect[0], $aRect[1] + 40, $aRect[2] - $aRect[0], $aRect[3] - $aRect[1])
            ;GUICtrlSetPos($FrameLabel, $aRect[0], $aRect[1], $aRect[2] - $aRect[0], $aRect[3] - $aRect[1])   ;<< does not work
    EndSwitch

WEnd

Melba23 · July 28, 2018

robertocm,

Here is the new version - please try and break it. Note that using the left/right keys only returns a "selection change" message if the ListView has been set up to allow single cell highlighting:

As to the "highlight" idea - it is a complete non-starter. Adding the outline as an overlay is easy, but as soon as the ListView is scrolled everything goes pear-shaped very quickly. That is why scrolling the ListView during an edit operation aborts the edit as it was too difficult to keep the input correctly positioned. And you can already get single cell highlighting (see Example 6) so the whole idea is moot in my eyes.

Beta code removed

robertocm · July 29, 2018

Dear Melba23,

Solved, Many Thanks!

I'll study Example 6 for the single cell highlighting "idea"

Melba23 · August 1, 2018

[NEW VERSION] - 1 Aug18

Added:

- Adding items to a native ListView resizes the column to fit the data - the UDF can now retain the original size - look for the $fRetainWidth parameter in _GUIListViewEx_Insert & _GUIListViewEx_InsertSpec.

- _GUIListViewEx_EventMonitor now returns 9 when the user changes the ListView selection - the function returns an array contain the ListView index and the row and column selected.

New version, examples and guide in the first post.

Hi Melba,

thanks a lot for your hard work and for sharing.

Do you know if it is any way to automatically arrange row number after you sort a Listview by clicking on a column?

Thanks in advance.

jcpetu,

I am afraid do not understand your question - the row numbers are automatically reset when the ListView is sorted.

Can you please post a short script showing the problem you are encountering.

M23

Melba23 · August 2, 2018

faustf,

What do you want your script to do? If you explain the required end-state I will see if I can get the UDF to do it. Just providing a non-working script with no explanation is not a lot of help.

hi Thankz for reply , i try to understund this UDF (beast ) but i try to simplify much the example 7 , in practice the final result i want , is a listviewe with foto in left , and possibility color line and sort when a click in top of listview

faustf,

If you require icons and photos in your ListView then this UDF is of no use to you as it does not work when they are enabled - sorry.

faustf · August 2, 2018

thankz , so i meet this problem with listviews in autoit , (correct me if i mistake), with

 GUICtrlCreateListViewItem

you can colored but not can set bmp image , only icon

with family of this functions _GUICtrlListView we can insert bmp image but can't insert a line colored or column or single cell,

right?

i understund ?

Edited August 2, 2018 by faustf

Melba23 · August 2, 2018

faustf,

This thread is for questions related to the UDF - please ask general ListView question in the GH&S forum. And I do not know if your understanding is correct as I do not use ListViews with either icons or images.

Dear Melba23,

At the end of the post there is a new version of the example with an access database. I've been studying hard from your code, and managed to incorporate single cell selection, colours, checkboxes. All the editing of the access table is done directly from the listview.

But first let me suggest another 'idea', I would like a more direct access to the edit mode:

- any alphanumeric character would start editing

+ write the same character in the inputbox

+ don't select all (place the cursor at the end)

From your documentation: this cannot be done in the user script because the UDF suspends the script when starting edit mode.

I suppose that this feature could be included as a new parameter, perhaps in _GUIListViewEx_SetEditKey function

I made some test only to see if this would be possible, and seems to be relatively simple

EDITED: code removed (see next post)

And finally the example of a listview connected with an access database (does not have any relation whit the previous 'idea')

But here is how you can use the UDF to have a column (2) which uses a combo to limit user edit options
and a right-click menu to select the colour of another column (1) of the selected row.
#ce ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Func _SetColour($iCID)
    ; Get information on where last right click occurred within ListView
    Local $aContext = _GUIListViewEx_ContextPos()

    ; Set new colour required
    Local $sColSet = "", $aColArray, $aSplit, $fDef = False
    Switch $iCID
        Case $mWhtFld
            $sColSet = $iYellow & ";" & $iWhite ; Text colour followed by ";" Field colour preceded by ";"
        Case $mRedFld
            $sColSet = ";" & $iRed
        Case $mBluFld
            $sColSet = ";" & $iBlue
        Case $mGrnFld
            $sColSet = ";" & $iGreen
        Case $mBlkFld
            ;$sColSet = $iWhite & ";" ; Text colour followed by ";"
            $sColSet = $iWhite & ";" & $iBlack
        Case $mDefFld
            ;Get current colours
            $aColArray = _GUIListViewEx_ReturnArray($aContext[0], 2)
            $aSplit = StringSplit($aColArray[$aContext[1]][$aContext[2]], ";")

            ;Create required setting
            ;Text
            $sColSet = ";" & $aSplit[2]
            ; Set default flag
            $fDef = True

            ;Field
            $sColSet = $aSplit[1] & ";"
            $fDef = True
    EndSwitch

    If $sColSet Then
        ; Reset to default if needed
        If $fDef Then
            _GUIListViewEx_SetColour($aContext[0], ";", $aContext[1], 1)
        EndIf
        ; Set required item colour
        _GUIListViewEx_SetColour($aContext[0], $sColSet, $aContext[1], 1)
    EndIf

EndFunc

Func _ErrADODB()
   Msgbox(0,"ADODB COM Error","We intercepted a COM Error !"      & @CRLF  & @CRLF & _
       "err.description is: "    & @TAB & $errADODB.description    & @CRLF & _
       "err.windescription:"     & @TAB & $errADODB.windescription & @CRLF & _
       "err.number is: "         & @TAB & hex($errADODB.number,8)  & @CRLF & _
       "err.lastdllerror is: "   & @TAB & $errADODB.lastdllerror   & @CRLF & _
       "err.scriptline is: "     & @TAB & $errADODB.scriptline     & @CRLF & _
       "err.source is: "         & @TAB & $errADODB.source         & @CRLF & _
       "err.helpfile is: "       & @TAB & $errADODB.helpfile       & @CRLF & _
       "err.helpcontext is: "    & @TAB & $errADODB.helpcontext _
      , 2)
   Local $err = $errADODB.number
   If $err = 0 Then $err = -1

   ;$rst = 0
   ;$cn.Close
   ;$cn = 0
   ;Exit
EndFunc

A final note: i think there's a little mistake in this sentence of the header _GUIListViewEx_EditItem

Remarks: Once edit started, all other script activity is suspended as explained for _GUIListViewEx_EditOnClick

This function is not in the new version of the UDF, as explained in your guide

Many Thanks!

robertocm,

any alphanumeric character would start editing

Please read this announcement to see why your idea is a complete non-starter as it would mean checking for the entire keyboard. You can add such a functionality to your own version if you so wish, but I will not be adding anything like this to the main release. And do you realise that you can set a HotKey to start editing the selected cell via the _GUIListViewEx_SetEditKey function? Is that not sufficient for your purposes?

don't select all (place the cursor at the end)

Thisi functionality is already incorporated:

; #FUNCTION# =========================================================================================================
; Name...........: _GUIListViewEx_Init
;[...]
;                  $iAdded    
;[...]
;                               + 2     - Do not "select all" when editing item text

Fixed to read _GUIListViewEx_EventMonitor - thanks.

Dear Melba23,

Many Thanks for your comments,

Understood, and deleted the code in previous post

1 hour ago, Melba23 said:

Yes, in fact i'm using this funcion and changed the key to SPACEBAR (reseting the checkbox state after editing)

For me is perfect, but my tool is for users very reluctant to computers (for several reasons you can imagine). They are great proffesionals but avoid computers.

In this context, is easy for them: 'start editing writting any key or number' like in excel sheets. One sentence, all explained.

The 'cursor at the end' was only in this situation (start editing writting the first character)

Many Thanks

Melba23,

Hello. I want to ask, how can I change background color of full row using your GUIListViewEx UDF?

I know that change background color for items added to native ListView control using _GUICtrlListView_AddItem() method is requires some manipulations using WM_NOTIFY or something like that. It's a bit complicated for me right now, so I found that if you using GUICtrlCreateListViewItem() than you can change background color by GUICtrlSetBkColor(). But it's silly in my opinion if i have dynamic flow of row items and if I use some standard UDF functions for manipulating them. So I checked some examples of your GUIListViewEx and came up with simple script (see below in spoiler), where I have only one ListView control with some data, which I initialized with ability to edit and change colors. But in my case I need change color for full row (not for specific item). Can I did it with GUIListViewEx?

Spoiler

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <ListViewConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include "GUIListViewEx.au3"

$hMainWindow = GUICreate("Main Form", 500, 400, 242, 137)
$cIDEditableListView = GUICtrlCreateListView("", 5, 5, 490, 390, $LVS_REPORT)
_GUIListViewEx_MsgRegister()
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

_GUICtrlListView_AddColumn($cIDEditableListView, "#", 30)
_GUICtrlListView_AddColumn($cIDEditableListView, "Name", 150)
_GUICtrlListView_AddColumn($cIDEditableListView, "Version", 100)

_GUICtrlListView_AddItem($cIDEditableListView, "1")
_GUICtrlListView_AddSubItem($cIDEditableListView, 0, "Campaign 1", 1)
_GUICtrlListView_AddSubItem($cIDEditableListView, 0, "1.0", 2)
_GUICtrlListView_AddItem($cIDEditableListView, "2")
_GUICtrlListView_AddSubItem($cIDEditableListView, 1, "Campaign 2", 1)
_GUICtrlListView_AddSubItem($cIDEditableListView, 1, "2.0", 2)

$aLV_Array = _GUIListViewEx_ReadToArray($cIDEditableListView)
$iLV_Index = _GUIListViewEx_Init($cIDEditableListView, $aLV_Array, 0, 0, False, 1 + 32)
_GUIListViewEx_SetEditStatus($iLV_Index, "1-2")

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

robertocm · August 26, 2018

Dear Melba23,

Let me suggest a different approach to the 'idea', using only UDF functions and HotKeySet standard function

This would be the scheme:

Global $cLV, $iLV, $iRow, $iCol, $iEditMode = 22

...

$vRet = _GUIListViewEx_EventMonitor($iEditMode)

...

Case 9 ; This is returned after a selection change by the user, then listview is active
         HotKeySet("a", "HotKeyPressed")
         HotKeySet("b", "HotKeyPressed")
         HotKeySet("c", "HotKeyPressed")

         $iRow = $vRet[1]
         $iCol = $vRet[2]

...

Func HotKeyPressed()
   ;unregister all (will be registered again in selection change)
   HotKeySet("a")
   HotKeySet("b")
   HotKeySet("c")
   Local $Chr = @HotKeyPressed
   _GUIListViewEx_ChangeItem($iLV, $iRow, $iCol, $Chr)
   _GUIListViewEx_EditItem($iLV, $iRow, $iCol, $iEditMode)
EndFunc

I made some tests and the only issue i'm finding is losing the focus of listview after editing

Many Thanks,

@Tersion: see in my example in the previous post, lines from these:

;Melba23
   ;Set array to give alternate line colouring
   Global $rstCount_1 = Ubound($rstArray)
   Global $rstCount_2 = Ubound($rstArray, 2)
   Global $aColArBand[$rstCount_1][$rstCount_2]
   For $i = 0 To $rstCount_1 - 1
      If Mod($i,2) = 0 Then
         For $j = 0 To $rstCount_2 - 1
            $aColArBand[$i][$j] = ";0xFFFFFF"
         Next
      Else
         For $j = 0 To $rstCount_2 - 1
            $aColArBand[$i][$j] = ";0xE6E6E6"
         Next
      EndIf
