_GUICtrlListView_GetCounterPage???

[Matt Diesel]

Ummm... Is there a reason for the ridiculous naming of this function?

_GUICtrlListView_GetCount*P*erPage

It works fine (using send message with LVM_GETCOUNTPERPAGE) so it must be a typo, followed by a lot of people not noticing. It even says "ListView Get Counter Page" in the example.

You right at was certainly a typo at the creation time 9/2007 but as it can lead to regression to existing script we don't plan to change it

I disagree.
It should be fixed because there are many other script breaking changes
and similar typo in function name was already fixed:

on this #1015 I was the designer so I have taken the responsability of breaking . but on this one is not me.
Can you post on main forum an question about this breaking and report the conclusion if any?
Thanks.

PS I think a lot of UDF are never used ...

I posted it on the forum ​here when I found it... I don't think it is used at all, as doing a search of the forum doesn't bring up any results other than a few people posting the name changes for the UDF between versions.

Even if it is left as is, there should at least be a note saying what it actually is, would have saved Kafu a bit of time by the looks of it :)

In reading over this bug report, I'm wondering if there couldn't be a new function added to the LV UDF that uses the exact same function and just names it correctly?

This way, there's no script breaking changes made. Also in the help file you could either put a disclaimer in that mentions that the misspelled function is a deprecated feature and have a reference to the new _GUICtrlListView_GetCountPerPage function, or just leave both functions in the help file and hope no one notices that they're the same function. Just a thought that should make everyone happy, and make it easier for people to find the function if they're looking for a function that does what it does.
