GUIListViewEx - New Version 11Dec 24

Melba23 · August 28, 2018

robertocm,

And it is not intended to do so. If you as the coder call the _EditItem function programmatically, you know that there should be a return and can deal with it at that point - _EventMonitor is there to tell you that something user-initiated has occurred and that your code need to react (or that the UDF needs to react if colour is involved).

Dear Melba23,

ok,

Many Thanks

Melba23 · August 29, 2018

Tersion,

This beta version of the UDF automatically returns focus to the ListView after an edit so you should be able to remove the robertocm "work-around" (hack!) to get the keys working again after an edit:

Please let me know if it works for you as well as it does for me.

Beta code removed

Tersion · August 29, 2018

Melba23,

YES! It's works on my test example exactly like robertocm "work-around". Thanks for that fix!

May I ask you, when these last fixes would be added to main release of GUIListViewEx?

Melba23 · August 30, 2018

Tersion,

I will release a new version once I am content that the changes I have mode to meet your requirements will not affect anything else in the UDF! Too often I have found that a tweak in one function can have very strange consequences elsewhere.....

Dear Melba23,

I'm doing some tests wiht a gui that has an input box as the first control ($idFilt)

i'm observing that Ctrl+arrow is 100% reliable for changing the selected cell in edit mode

But Tab key gets out of the edit mode sometimes

I think it could be related with this different 'patron' observed:

With Ctrl+arrow:

Right Arrow Arrow pressed
Right Arrow released
--> Input SetFocus
--> Input KillFocus

Right Arrow Arrow pressed
Right Arrow released
--> Input SetFocus
--> Input KillFocus

Right Arrow Arrow pressed
Right Arrow released
--> Input SetFocus
--> Input KillFocus

Right Arrow Arrow pressed
Right Arrow released
--> Input SetFocus
--> Input KillFocus

Right Arrow Arrow pressed
Right Arrow released
--> Input SetFocus
--> Input KillFocus

Whit Tab:

--> Input SetFocus
Tab Key pressed
Tab Key released
--> Input KillFocus

--> Input SetFocus
Tab Key pressed
Tab Key released
--> Input KillFocus

--> Input SetFocus
Tab Key pressed
Tab Key released
--> Input KillFocus

--> Input SetFocus
Tab Key pressed
Tab Key released
--> Input KillFocus

--> Input SetFocus
Tab Key pressed
Tab Key released
--> Input KillFocus

Fragments of code to reproduce the test:

;GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

;GaryFrost
;https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?s=&showtopic=48160&view=findpost&p=391271
;Global Const $WM_COMMAND = 0x0111
;Global Const $EN_CHANGE = 0x300
;Global Const $EN_SETFOCUS = 0x100
;Global Const $EN_KILLFOCUS = 0x200
GUIRegisterMsg($WM_COMMAND, "MY_WM_COMMAND")

...

;GaryFrost
Func MY_WM_COMMAND($hWnd, $msg, $wParam, $lParam)
    Local $nNotifyCode = BitShift($wParam, 16) ; high word
    Local $nID = BitAND($wParam, 0xFFFF) ; low word
    Local $hCtrl = $lParam

     Switch $nID
         Case $idFilt
             Switch $nNotifyCode
                 Case $EN_SETFOCUS
                     ConsoleWrite("--> Input SetFocus" & @CRLF)
                 Case $EN_KILLFOCUS
                     ConsoleWrite("--> Input KillFocus" & @CRLF & @CRLF)
             EndSwitch
     EndSwitch
    ; Proceed the default Autoit3 internal message commands.
    ; You also can complete let the line out.
    ; !!! But only 'Return' (without any value) will not proceed
    ; the default Autoit3-message in the future !!!
    Return $GUI_RUNDEFMSG
EndFunc   ;==>MY_WM_COMMAND

i've made a temporal copy of the GUIListViewEx, and only for this test i've added

#include <Misc.au3>

and around line 4735

If _IsPressed("09") Then
   ConsoleWrite("Tab Key pressed" & @CRLF)
   ;Wait until key is released.
   While _IsPressed("09")
      Sleep(10)
   WEnd
   ConsoleWrite("Tab Key released" & @CRLF)
EndIf

And finally, similar for the left arrow key

Many Thanks,

robertocm,

Quote

around line 4735

Please be more specific about the location of your added code. There is already a check for key release in the code, so I am somewhat confused about exactly what you are looking to add.

And I am also unsure as to the exact behaviour you are experiencing. Please can you provide a small working script that exhibits the same behaviour - rather than a couple of small fragments - otherwise I am feeling my way in the dark.

M23

robertocm · September 2, 2018

Dear Melba23,

Below a working script that exhibits the same behaviour:

- start editing with backspace in any row of the first visible column (F1)

- press several times TAB and then ENTER

- Change to other rows and repeat until TAB 'fails' (gets out of edit mode before ENTER)

#include <GuiConstants.au3>
#include <Excel.au3>
#include <Date.au3>

Dear Melba23,

This is about _GUIListViewEx_ChangeItem

It seems that using this function makes the UDF to lose the row component of selection

To test: in the example below edit any cell, after editing press down arrow: see the dotted line in first row

Many Thanks

robertocm,

I see the problem - working on it.

Edit: Found and fixed (I hope). Now looking at the earlier problem.

robertocm,

I can reproduce the problem of the {TAB} key exiting the edit process, but I cannot find a way of preventing it. As I mentioned above there is already a check for the user releasing whatever key was used and in my extensive checks the {TAB} key was successfully released every time. What I think is happening is that Windows is intercepting a subsequent {TAB} key and, when there are other controls in the GUI, treating it as a TABSTOP command rather then allowing the UDF to treat it as a user input as the UDF has not yet returned to the section of its code where it waits for user input.

The fact that the problem appears to be more prevalent when the {TAB} key is pressed in quick succession to advance the edit location without actually editing the cells makes this more likely to be the correct diagnosis in my opinion - using it to advance after each cell has been edited does not seem to produce the same problem.

So not a lot I can do about it, sorry.

robertocm & Tersion,

Here is the latest Beta code incorporating all of the small tweaks that I have introduced following yoru interventions over the past few pages of this thread:

Please try (and hopefully fail) to break it again!

Dear Melba23,

Regarding {TAB} issue, an only as an idea, i would suggest to replace for the arrows keys: without Ctrl

During editing, checking the position of cursor:

- If the cursor is at the right end of the text, pressing right key confirms and select next cell

- If cursor is at the begining, pressing left key confirms and select previous cell

- Up and Down always confirming and changing selection

Just an idea

Many Thanks!

Note: i'm seeing this in Ms Access tables

Melba23 · September 3, 2018

robertocm,

Thanks for the suggestion, but I seem to remember long ago when I first coded this UDF that it worked that way - but then people complained that moving around in the edit control sometimes fires the "end of edit" event, so I changed that event to "Ctrl-arrow". And I am not changing back!

robertocm · September 3, 2018

Dear Melba23,

ok, was only an idea

Many Thanks

Dear Melba23,

In the example below there is a main gui with a listview and a child GUI with a second listview.

- Edit some cell in column 1 for displaying child gui (first visible column, because column 0 is partially hidden)

- If i press down arrow key until first row of second listview becomes selected:

it seems that _GUIListViewEx_EventMonitor does not return the correct row index (Case 9)

- If i do the same by clicking the returned row is ok

Many Thanks!!

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)
   If $FromB = False Then
      ;Get information on where last right click occurred within ListView
      Local $aContext = _GUIListViewEx_ContextPos()
   Else
      Local $aContext[3] =[1, $Row, $Col]
      $FromB = False
   EndIf

   ;Set new colour required
   Local $sColSet = "", $aColArray, $aSplit, $fDef = False
   Switch $iCID
      Case $mWhtFld
         ;$sColSet = $iDarkSlateGray & ";" & $iLightBlue ; Text colour followed by ";" Field colour preceded by ";"
         $sColSet = ";" & $iLightBlue ; Text colour followed by ";" Field colour preceded by ";"
      Case $mRedFld
         $sColSet = ";" & $iWheat
         _GUICtrlListView_SetItemChecked($cLV, $aContext[1], False)
      ;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($aContext[0], 2)
         ;_ArrayDisplay($aColArray, "colors", Default, 8)

         ;Reset to default if needed
         If Mod($aContext[1],2) > 0 Then
            $sColSet = ";0xE6E6E6"
         Else
            $sColSet = ""
         EndIf
         _GUICtrlListView_SetItemChecked($cLV, $aContext[1], True)
   EndSwitch
   ;Set required item colour
   _GUIListViewEx_SetColour($aContext[0], $sColSet, $aContext[1], 1)
   ;For $i = 1 To 2 ; For each column...
      ;_GUIListViewEx_SetColour($aContext[0], $sColSet, $aContext[1], $i)

bertocm,

If you post some runnable code I will take a look - at the moment I get this in the SciTE console:

Quote

"M:\Program\Au3 Scripts\fred4.au3"(227,32) : warning: $iMsg: possibly used before declaration.
               _SetColour($iMsg)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^
"M:\Program\Au3 Scripts\fred4.au3"(238,73) : warning: $Row_2: possibly used before declaration.
               Local $Name = _GUICtrlListView_GetItemText($cLV_2, $Row_2,
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^
"M:\Program\Au3 Scripts\fred4.au3"(227,32) : error: $iMsg: undeclared global variable.
               _SetColour($iMsg)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^

M23

P.S. And even better: strip out all of the colour and other unnecessary stuff so that the code is a small as possible - that will save me from having to do it so that I do not have to wade through a bunch of irrelevant code.

robertocm,

I see the problem and I am working on it.

Why do you insist on using the keys all the time - Windows is a GUI and using the mouse to select gives the correct result!

Dear Melba23,

Many Thanks!

For me the UDF is totally functional, and taking a lot of advantage of it

but when seeing some detail i prefer to comment,

having 2 working options for the same result improves accesibility (if one option fails or cannot be used)
