jimdaway Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 I'm struggling with something I'm sure I've missed... I have a 1-dimensional array and I'm populating a ListBox using an _ArrayToString function within the GUICtrlSetData function. If I perform an _ArrayReverse on the array before I execute the _ArrayToString function within the GUICtrlSetData, the list still populates in a sorted order. If I do an _ArrayDisplay, it's showing to be reversed but when I populate the ListBox, it's still sorted! _GetDirectoryListing() _ArrayReverse($aMasterJobList) _ArrayDisplay($aMasterJobList) GUICtrlSetData($hJobList, _ArrayToString($aMasterJobList)) Am I missing a subtle (or not-so subtle) flag somewhere?

Hi FrancescoDiMuro Thank you for the reply and suggestion. I've done what you suggest and the ListBox still populates in a sorted manner. Here is the code I've implemented. The _GetDirectoryListing() routine just pulls a file list from a local directory and puts each line into a globally defined, 1-dimensional array called $aMasterJobList. I've tried reversing the array and populating it with the For/Next from 0 to UBound and as shown below without the _ArrayReverse. Any idea? _GetDirectoryListing() ;GUICtrlSetData($hJobList, _ArrayToString($aMasterJobList)) _GUICtrlListBox_BeginUpdate($hJobList) For $iI = Ubound($aMasterJobList) - 1 to 0 step -1 _GUICtrlListBox_AddString($hJobList, $aMasterJobList[$iI]) Next _GUICtrlListBox_EndUpdate($hJobList) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrewManNH Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 You need to create your listbox without the default $LBS_SORT style set. ListBoxes are set to sort by default, and you need to make sure that isn't set. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

FrancescoDiMuro Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 @jimdaway Not for case I suggested you to use _GUICtrlListBox_InsertString(), since, instead of sorting the items in the ListBox as _GUICtrlListBox_AddString() does, items are added at the end of the ListBox if the Index is set as -1.

jimdaway Posted August 17, 2018 Author Share Posted August 17, 2018 @FrancescoDiMuro , that was the ticket. Sorry I missed the "Insert" vs the "Add". Staring at the screen for too many hours! It's working fine now. Thank you for the guidance. @BrewManNH, thanks for the help. I'm painfully new to AutoIt and the nuances of this awesome platform are still unknown to me...
