Help with a library tool

[Griffith]

Hi guys

I'm new to autoit and my sister wanted me to make her a library database tool so I tried to do it in autoit.

I ran into some dead ends and would be glad if someone more experienced could give me a few hints.

What I'm missing is :

- "Ändern" should open a childgui and load the listview item selected in the listview into the inputboxes (the childgui is the same as "Neu")

- "Neu" should add new entries into the listview, couldn't figure out the code for that

- When the chilgui is getting closed it will automatically exit, how can I limit it to the main gui only?

- "Suchen" should search for the strings in the categories (specified in the drowdown box) in the listview and display them

- A way to load/save the contents of the listview into a file

Here's my code.

#include <GuiListView.au3>
#include <GuiList.au3>
#include <File.au3>

$Gui = GUICreate("Datenbank",788,514, 100,200)
