Get me pointed in the right direction

[sumotide]

Hello,
I was wondering if an experienced AHK coder would be so kind as to direct me toward documentation regarding ListView function of AHK and what it I can do with it. I have looked online but as usual there are links from "other" forum topics that are either offline or not what I was looking for. I am not new to AHK, but I am new to using ListView and technically I am a noob in that area. I have learned what I know about AHK by asking questions and ACTUALLY implenting what was taught to me.

As it is right now, my project requires how I learn to get individual fields in ListView into Edit box's on a GUI. I learned how to create a ListView box on the GUI and I learned how to populate the ListView from the Edit box on the GUI. So essentially I can populate a ListView but I do not know how to populate the Edit boxes located on the GUI from the ListView. I can get it there but I can't get it back.

Thank you for you help in advance.

Post some code in "Ask for help"
People including me will gladly help you with that.

i have an unfortunate amount of experience with list views.

forunately i think the help file gets us very very close

Code: Select all

; Create the ListView with two columns, Name and Size:
Gui, Add, ListView, r20 w700 gMyListView, Name|Size (KB)

; Gather a list of file names from a folder and put them into the ListView:
Loop, %A_MyDocuments%\*.*
    LV_Add("", A_LoopFileName, A_LoopFileSizeKB)

LV_ModifyCol()  ; Auto-size each column to fit its contents.
LV_ModifyCol(2, "Integer")  ; For sorting purposes, indicate that column 2 is an integer.

; Display the window and return. The script will be notified whenever the user double clicks a row.
Gui, Show
return

MyListView:
if A_GuiEvent = DoubleClick
{
    LV_GetText(RowText, A_EventInfo)  ; Get the text from the row's first field.
    ToolTip You double-clicked row number %A_EventInfo%. Text: "%RowText%"
}
return

GuiClose:  ; Indicate that the script should exit automatically when the window is closed.
ExitApp

lets look closer at LV_GetText(RowText, A_EventInfo) ; Get the text from the row's first field. accepts a 3rd optional parameter of column so if i used LV_GetText(RowText, A_EventInfo, 2) ; Get the text from the row's Second field

ok so now we know how to get a specific column
what about selected and then a button
same example with some additions

Code: Select all

; Create the ListView with two columns, Name and Size:
Gui, Add, ListView, r20 w700 gMyListView, Name|Size (KB)
Gui, Add, button,section gMyListViewSelectFile,  File
Gui, Add, button, section gMyListViewSelectSize,  Size

; Gather a list of file names from a folder and put them into the ListView:
Loop, %A_MyDocuments%\*.*
    LV_Add("", A_LoopFileName, A_LoopFileSizeKB)

LV_ModifyCol()  ; Auto-size each column to fit its contents.
LV_ModifyCol(2, "Integer")  ; For sorting purposes, indicate that column 2 is an integer.

; Display the window and return. The script will be notified whenever the user double clicks a row.
Gui, Show
return


MyListViewSelectSize:
	column = 2
MyListViewSelectFile:
	{
    LV_GetText(RowText, LV_GetNext("Selected" ), column)  ; Get the text from the row's first field.
    ToolTip You double-clicked row number %A_EventInfo%. Text: "%RowText%"
	}
	column = 1
return
MyListView:
if A_GuiEvent = DoubleClick
{
    LV_GetText(RowText, A_EventInfo)  ; Get the text from the row's first field.
    ToolTip You double-clicked row number %A_EventInfo%. Text: "%RowText%"
}
return

GuiClose:  ; Indicate that the script should exit automatically when the window is closed.
ExitApp

tank, unfortunately, like the other forum, colors don't seem to be working within codeboxes:

Code: Select all

[color=#FF0000]MyListViewSelectSize:
	column = 2
MyListViewSelectFile:
	{
    LV_GetText(RowText, LV_GetNext("Selected" ), column)  ; Get the text from the row's first field.
    ToolTip You double-clicked row number %A_EventInfo%. Text: "%RowText%"
	}
	column = 1
return[/color]

Colors inside codeboxes do not work either in the other forum. They used to work, though; but poly broke it by introducing extremely broken PHP syntax highlighting.

Thank you for your responses. I didn't want to start a redundant post in the help section as that would probably frustrate those who moderate the forums.

@Tank: Funny thing is I read the help file. I just didn't fully understand it. Thank you for explaining it to me. I do believe that I understand it better now or at least enough to start implementing for my project. I do believe you may have connected the dots. Thanks again! Is it Ok that I PM as I learn or have questions?

[Morpheus]

Personally, I think it is better to post your questions so that others may learn from them.

[tank]

wow never noticed ill fix that very soon
I do not respond to PM's for help
keep it in the forum where everyone can learn from it.
the only exceptions i make is if you need to share confidential information via PM

Lol me neither, ... Ok ok... It's true I'm colorblind..

[codybear]

It's true I'm colorblind..

My friend from high school (like 5+ years ago) is color blind.
Many years ago for his birthday, I bought him a Rubik's cube.

Needless to say, I got punched for that one. Worth it.

[joedf]

You meanie! >:(
Lol good one though, I would have probably done the same haha!
