GUIListViewEx - New Version 11Dec 24

Siwa · December 16, 2020

Thanks, and it gave me some insight, also I managed to answer my second question, with @extended = 9 of the _GUIListViewEx_EventMonitor() .

But for my first question, I want to be able to add a mouseover event, not a double click. If a mouse over is not doable, then just a single click will be more convenient for me.

Is it possible to do so ?

Hi everybody,

@Siwa: concerning your hovering request, if Melba23 thinks what follows is doable, then this could help you.

@Melba23: I just tested the LVN_HOTTRACK notification code and it seems to give good results in a simple LV.
As the following code concerns WM_NOTIFY, then this code could be used as described in your GUIListViewEx Guide.rtf file "...call the relevant UDF handler function from within your existing handler..."

Case $LVN_HOTTRACK
    Local $tInfo = DllStructCreate($tagNMLISTVIEW, $lParam)
    If $tInfo.Item = 5 And $tInfo.SubItem = 2 Then
        ToolTip("Infos displayed here...")
    Else
        ToolTip("")
    EndIf

In the example above, a tooltip would appear as soon as the user hovers over row 5 / col 2, then the tooltip disappears when not on that cell anymore.

Siwa,

You are quite right - using the @extended=9 return from _EventMonitor will allow you to detect single clicks. I need to revise the actions of my own UDF!

Pixelsearch's suggestion has great merit - but you will need to play around with the code to get it to work correctly. I will take a look when I get a moment over the next few days.

Thanks Melba, I am an absolute beginner and I can not comment on anything, but I think @pixelsearch's idea might be a way to do it.

As I mentioned that I'm not very good at coding, I have been playing around for about 5 hours with no luck with WM_NOTIFY. I need to find a way to solve it by your help.

ToolTip's on "Mary 5"

Melba23 · December 17, 2020

pixelsearch,

Try pulling the mouse to the right off "Mary 5" - the tooltip remains visible until you reenter one of the ListViews and a new $LVN_HOTTRACK message is sent. This is the same problem I found in my tests yesterday and what I will be trying to solve today once my Spanish class is over. Imperfect subjunctives in indirect speech today - my head hurts already!

pixelsearch,

Very nice!

P.S. And there was a phrase very like that - but rather more complimentary

Siwa · December 17, 2020

I did some work on it, and I wanted to view a live view, so I added an Adlibregiser to load the data as an array ( I searched a lot to find a way to load the data of the mouse over row, when the mouse is over a specific row, but couldn't; find any), then I added this :

Local $aHit = _GUICtrlListView_SubItemHitTest($hcListView)
            If $sP_e_Status = True Then
                For $i=0 To UBound($sP_e)-1
                    If $aHit[0] = $i And $aHit[1] = 5 Then ; item / subitem
                        If $sP_e[$i][6] > "" Then
                            ToolTip($sP_e[$i][6])
                        Else
                            ToolTip("")
                        EndIf
                        ElseIf $aHit[0] = $i And $aHit[1] = 1 Then
                            ToolTip("")
                        ElseIf $aHit[0] = $i And $aHit[1] = 2 Then
                            ToolTip("")
                        ElseIf $aHit[0] = $i And $aHit[1] = 3 Then
                            ToolTip("")
                        ElseIf $aHit[0] = $i And $aHit[1] = 4 Then
                            ToolTip("")
                    EndIf
                Next

            EndIf

I added a hidden 6th column, then I reload he data in a 10 sec interval, then I added this code, if there is something to be shown to the user, it is only shown when the mouse is at the 5th column.

This is working well as intended, but there is a downside, my LV is in half of the GUI, and when the mouse is moved to where other 5th columns must be located, below the visible LV, where other buttons and labels are located, this code, is showing the tooltip 😅

Edited December 17, 2020 by Siwa

pixelsearch · December 17, 2020

@Siwa: I can reproduce the issue you described (by modifying the script above, changing $iCount_Right from 20 to 40, then "tooltipping" on Mary 30 after a change to $aHit[0] = 30)

Now that there is a vertical scrolling in the listview (which wasn't the case in the example above), when "Mary 30" isn't visible in the listview but "hidden" under the buttons "Show Right" or "Exit", then the tooltip is displayed anyway when the mouse hovers the hidden "Mary 30" cell, I hope this is what you mean.

A solution could be to test the mouse coords within the $GUI_EVENT_MOUSEMOVE event and when mouse coords are outside the listview boundaries, then prevent the tooltip for appearing. This test could be the 1st test to check, so while mouse coords are outside the listview boundaries, then there's no use to do the SubItemHitTest. Theorically it should work, I'll test it after errands & dinner.

If anyone got another idea, please let us know, thanks

Siwa · December 17, 2020

That was exactly what I meant, sorry If I couldn't put my script here, it is getting bigger and bigger, and it needs an excel file to load content from.

it is a smart solution, but not an appropriate one. My main goal is to solve it with the right script. But yours will do exactly what is needed.

Edit :

This is my solution based on your suggestion, ( changed the way I read the content to use _GUICtrlListView_GetItemText, which reads live content ) :

Local $aHit = _GUICtrlListView_SubItemHitTest($hcListView)
For $i=0 To UBound($aLVArray)-1
    If $aHit[0] = $i And $aHit[1] = 5 Then ; item / subitem
        Local $Mouse_Pos = MouseGetPos()
        Local $LV_Pos = ControlGetPos($hMainGUI, "", $cListView)
        Local $GUI_Pos = WinGetPos("****")
        If  $Mouse_Pos[0]<$GUI_Pos[0]+$LV_Pos[2] And $GUI_Pos[0]+$LV_Pos[0]<$Mouse_Pos[0] And $Mouse_Pos[1]<$GUI_Pos[1]+$LV_Pos[3] And $GUI_Pos[1]+$LV_Pos[1]<$Mouse_Pos[1] Then
            If _GUICtrlListView_GetItemText($hcListView, $i,5) > "" Then
                ToolTip(_GUICtrlListView_GetItemText($hcListView, $i,6))
            Else
                ToolTip("")
            EndIf
        Else
            ToolTip("")
        EndIf
    ElseIf $aHit[0] = $i And $aHit[1] = 1 Then
        ToolTip("")
    ElseIf $aHit[0] = $i And $aHit[1] = 2 Then
        ToolTip("")
    ElseIf $aHit[0] = $i And $aHit[1] = 3 Then
        ToolTip("")
    ElseIf $aHit[0] = $i And $aHit[1] = 4 Then
        ToolTip("")
    EndIf

This script should be amended in case your listview height or width change during the execution of the script.

Also, if you want it to be a bit more precise, you should take care of the listview header height and the 2 eventual scrollbars (horizontal & vertical) so the tooltip won't be displayed when your mouse hover upon them while the "tooltipped" cell is just under them.

Anyway, you got now a good basis to work on, because mouse coords are constantly compared to listview boundaries and :
1) If mouse coords are outside the LV boundaries => ToolTip("")
2) If they're inside => _GUICtrlListView_SubItemHitTest()

Good luck

Concerning this "hovering" script, this will be my final post in Melba23's thread because I'm afraid we are now polluting a bit his thread, which is initially dedicated to GUIListViewEx.

In this final post, I'll present the last version of the script, which adds a "fine tuning" to the hovering process.

Using MouseGetPos(), WinGetPos(), WinGetClientSize() not forgetting the LV header height (which gladly doesn't change during an eventual LV resize), all of them mixed did a fine job.

Now the tooltip (cell "Mary 10" or "Mary 30") immediately disappears as soon as you hover the mouse...

Maybe a simpler script could be placed in the Example forum because it seems to be an interesting feature, not too hard to script, you just need $iHeaderHeight, $bToolTip (12/18/2020) and Case $GUI_EVENT_MOUSEMOVE + a headache for the crucial line (guess which one !)

For the record, I also tested this script on the listview placed at the left (native-created) with a resizable GUI ($WS_SIZEBOX style) and the "$GUI_DOCKAUTO resize mode" applied to the left LV control. Then after having resized the GUI by dragging its bottom right corner, hovering the mouse over a "tooltipped cell" in the now-resized left listview, well it still worked like a charm... just like our "Mary 10" and "Mary 30" in the listview placed at the right !

Mission accomplished

Edit : 12/18/2020 : improvement by adding a flag $bToolTip (False = no tooltip actually displayed, True = a tooltip is actually displayed)

Edit : 12/19/2020 : as discussed a few lines above, a simpler script concerning this listview hovering process has just been added in the Example forum in this link. Thanks Melba23 for your patience and please delete/move whatever you want that isn't related to GUIListViewEx, in the recent posts of your thread.

I want to use natural sort as a sorting algorithm for my listview columns. As I understand I should introduce the sorting function through _GUIListViewEx_UserSort, but I can't seem to find any sample code showing how and where exactly it is supposed to be used. Can anyone help me with that?

Thank you very much, Melba. I got it now.

Hello,

I am using _GUIListViewEx to display a list with some elements. I was able to double click on a element and get the row of selected item.

Now I need to select a row, without double click, meaning I need to be able programmatically to select a item in the list. I dont think I can use colors because my list is already colored based on values from cells.

I tried to change the color of a specific row, but then when i change the color of the next one, the previous one doesnt reset his color to the color set by the value.

Is there an equivalent of the following?

 _GUICtrlListView_SetItemSelected($idListview, 1)

Melba23 · February 16, 2021

rony2006,

There is no equivalent of _GUICtrlListView_SetItemSelected in the UDF - I will look and see if I can provide one, but do not hold your breath.

As to the colour problem, you will need to post a reproductor script or there is little I can do to help you.

M23

Edit: Actually at first glance the _SetItemSelected function looks pretty easy so watch this space.

Thanks @Melba23

I implemented and it seams that it works but there is a issue:

I dont get actually the row select the same as I click on it (the blue color).

But row is getting selected some how because on my list I have only 10 rows available without scroll. If i sent _GUIListViewEx_SelectItem(15), my list automatically scrolls so I will have item 15 on the screen visible.

I disabled _GUIListViewEx_LoadColour() but the effect is the same. I am using 2 listview on the gui.

And also i used _GUIListViewEx_SetActive($iLVIndex_1) before the function.

I will try to make a simple script to show you the issue.
