Url to Button

[Epialis]

Okay... I've decided to redo my program.... What I need to know is how when you pick a file through an add button, instead of it putting the url to the file, that it puts a button in the listview instead, that links to the file you created? Just need direction on how to do this, whether an individual helping, or links to help me learn how. Thank you and blessings.

[DyaTactic]

So you want the newly selected file to become a new row in the ListView and when you click the row/item in the ListView the file/URL is opened? This code should get you far I guess. Let me know what you need more.

Code: Select all

EnvGet, UserProfile, USERPROFILE

Gui Add, ListView, gLVEvents, Name|URL
LV_Add(, "UserProfile", UserProfile)    ; Add one row to the ListView.
LV_ModifyCol()    ; Auto size columns.
Gui Show
Return

LVEvents:
if (A_GuiEvent = "DoubleClick") {
    LV_GetText(RowText, A_EventInfo)  ; Get the text from the row's first field.
	LV_GetText(FilePath, A_EventInfo, 2)
    MsgBox You double-clicked '%RowText%'. (%FilePath%)
	Run % FilePath
}
return

@DyaTactic

Thank you much.


Yeah I have the listview already adding the url and name... what I don't get it how to turn the URL it puts int he row and make it a button that keeps the url path connected with the button, so when hit, it opens the url.

[DyaTactic]

You can change the listview to another view which hides the file path. Though adding actual buttons like the ones from "Gui, Add, Button" is not a thing with de default functions of Autohotkey. You can even add the AltSubmit option to detect normal clicks. That way it can run the URL with a single click but it sill won't look like a button.

Code: Select all

EnvGet, UserProfile, USERPROFILE

Gui Add, ListView, gLVEvents +IconSmall, Name|URL    ; +IconSmall instead of the defauld ReportView.
LV_Add(, "UserProfile", UserProfile)    ; Add one row to the ListView.
LV_ModifyCol()    ; Auto size columns.
Gui Show
Return

LVEvents:
if (A_GuiEvent = "DoubleClick") {
    LV_GetText(RowText, A_EventInfo)  ; Get the text from the row's first field.
	LV_GetText(FilePath, A_EventInfo, 2)
    MsgBox You double-clicked '%RowText%'. (%FilePath%)
	Run % FilePath
}
return

Another option is to forget the listview and just create a lot of buttons. Though it is quite challanging to maintain such a list of controls. I made a class to make lists of controls. I am afraid te documentation very unstructured but with an example you might get it working.

Let me know what you think.

Okay, what about icons? If I can't add buttons, then maybe icons would work? Thank you again. I would just rather not have the URL showing when I click add, so maybe lhrow an icon there instead?

[DyaTactic]

This is with icons added from shell32.dll. Just like the example in the documentation for IL_Create.

Code: Select all

EnvGet, UserProfile, USERPROFILE

Gui Add, ListView, w250 gLVEvents +Icon, Name|URL
ImageListID := IL_Create(10,, 1)  ; Create an ImageList to hold 10 large icons.
LV_SetImageList(ImageListID)  ; Assign the above ImageList to the current ListView.
Loop 10  ; Load the ImageList with a series of icons from the DLL.
    IL_Add(ImageListID, "shell32.dll", A_Index) 

LV_Add("Icon4", "UserProfile", UserProfile)

Loop 10  ; Add rows to the ListView (for demonstration purposes, one for each icon).
    LV_Add("Icon" . A_Index, A_Index, "n/a")

Gui Show
Return

LVEvents:
if (A_GuiEvent = "DoubleClick") {
    LV_GetText(RowText, A_EventInfo)  ; Get the text from the row's first field.
	LV_GetText(FilePath, A_EventInfo, 2)
    MsgBox You double-clicked '%RowText%'. (%FilePath%)
	Run % FilePath
}
return

His/her (probably outdated?) target was a) to show an image of the listed media file that currently has the focus within the listview (I've recommended creating an image-panel with the height of the listview to the right of it), and b) start the respective media file with VLC, if whatever event will get triggered (click on the image, its listview row, ...).
Unfortunately, a quite common "double-click" on a listview row/item has executed its assigned media file twice OR (AFAICS) has tried to execute non-media-related content OR were not updating the 'path-var' - so VLC went nuts. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Hey @BoBo , I actually started a different file, and thank you tremendously for the help you have given me. I have the media file playable and working when I click on them... So I can add the video and VLC will play them accordingly to their row numbers. What I see is lots of examples of icons being used in listview, but they are actually implanted within the file instead of actually picking the icon you want to use and then insert it into the listview. I think that is where my problem is. I can get the filepath url to show in the listview, but can't transform the url into an image.

Then the issue of this LONG url showing for the path to the file... and hiding that column so that it's not seen. The image below is what I have so far, and if I double click, it opens photoshop. I can add anything in there and it will run it: exe's, mp3's, mp4, or images. So I did figure out how to play VLC's finally, with much help from you. Just need that long path invisible lol

P.S. a "He"

[BoBo]

Instead of loading an icon from a DLL, simply set the path to an image that will be loaded instead (shrinked to the scale of an icon).

IL_Add

PS. your GUI looks much better now

I've been trying to, but I have this so far. I can get it to post the icon for all rows, but when I try to put into the loop, it won't do it individually.

Code: Select all

AddItem:                 ;Add new or update ListView row
Gui, Submit, NoHide
ImageListID := IL_Create(10,10,1)
IL_Add(ImageListID, Geticon, 1)
LV_SetImageList(ImageListID, 1)

If (SelectedRow = 0)
	
LV_Add("", Trim(Program),Trim(Runexe),Trim(icoPath))
Else {
LV_Modify(SelectedRow,"", Program, Runexe, icoPath)
	LV_ModifyCol(1,"Sort")
	SelectedRow := 0
	GuiControl, ,Button1, Add to list
	GuiControl,,edit, ;this would remove the text from Edit1 control
}

[Epialis]

Okay, well in order to not open another thread based on the same thing I'm working on, I'll just post in here.

1. Can't figure out how to hide the long path the submit puts into the listview url, or make it a button that links the the urlpath
2. Can't figure out icons yet... Gotta find a way to add in a loop so each get their own icon...

So far that's where I"m at now. I'll be googling and searching... Thank you.

@BoBo

Thank you much for that.... It does the same thing as my previous image, so back at square one. I've been on this all day.. driving me mad.

There's a... uh... conflict between my adding to the rowdata and the images... I need to somehow mix them together I think. Brain dead at the moment, so no idea yet. I tried to loop the images and I ended up with like 100 rows in a few seconds LOL; gotta learn how to do this or me go mad. But I don't give up on things, so I'll keep on the high road until it's workable. Thanks again.

Here is the add items that I think conflict with the icons.

Code: Select all

AddItem:                 ;Add new or update ListView row
Gui, Submit, NoHide

If (SelectedRow = 0)
	
LV_Add("", ("Icon" . A_Index, "     " . A_Index), Trim(Program),Trim(Runexe))

Else {
	
	LV_Modify(SelectedRow,"",("Icon" . A_Index, "     " . A_Index), Program, Runexe)
	
	LV_ModifyCol(1,"Sort")
	SelectedRow := 0
	
	GuiControl, ,Button1, Add to list
	GuiControl,,edit, ;this would remove the text from Edit1 control
	
}

Then here is my new code, removing the first select icon.

Code: Select all

Addicon:

FileSelectFile, file, 32,, Pick a file to check icons., *.ico

ImageListID := IL_Create(10,10,1)  ; Create an ImageList to hold 10 small icons.
LV_SetImageList(ImageListID,1)    ; Assign the above ImageList to the current ListView.
Loop                              ; Load the ImageList with a series of icons from the DLL.
{
     Count := Image               ; Number of icons found
     Image := IL_Add(ImageListID, file, A_Index)  ; Omits the DLL's path so that it works on Windows 9x too.
	
     If (Image = 0)               ; When we run out of icons
		Break                     
} 
Loop, %Count%  ; Add rows to the ListView (for demonstration purposes, one for each icon).
	LV_Add("Icon" . A_Index, "     " . A_Index)
LV_ModifyCol("Hdr")  ; Auto-adjust the column widths.

Return

IconNum:
Clipboard := file . ", " . A_EventInfo
Msgbox %Clipboard% `r     added to Clipboard! `r %A_ScriptDir%
;  Run c:AutoHotkey/iconsext.exe /save %file% %A_ScriptDir%/icons -icons,, Hide
Return

Any suggestions are appreciated. Okay, back to the drawing board I know the A_Index is why it's throwing Icon0 there b/c it's not in a loop. But it I change it much, then it stops adding to the saved file.

[Epialis]

Ugggg... Been looking for a good example of image arrays that are not already pre-embedded into the file itself. Anyone have any, would be awesome

[just me]

Not sure what you want exactly, but this will add an icon only for files from which an icon could be extracted.

Code: Select all

#NoEnv
SetBatchLines, -1
Gui, Add, ListView, w600 h600, Icon|Name|Path
HIL := IL_Create(10, 5, 1) ; large icon image list
LV_SetImageList(HIL, 1)    ; used as a small icon image list for the report style

Loop, Files, D:\AutoHotkey\AHK_L\*.*, F ; <<<<<<<<<< must be adjusted
{
   If (ICO := IL_Add(HIL, A_LoopFileFullPath))
      LV_Add("Icon" . ICO, "", A_LoopFileName, A_LoopFileFullPath)
   Else
      LV_Add("Icon99999", "", A_LoopFileName, A_LoopFileFullPath)

}
Until (A_Index = 10)

LV_ModifyCol()
Gui, Show, , Icons
Return

GuiClose:
ExitApp

If you want to show one default icon for all other files, add it as the first icon and change the Else branch to

Code: Select all

   Else
      LV_Add("", "", A_LoopFileName, A_LoopFileFullPath)

[DyaTactic]

I took the whole code and ajusted a few things. Most of itwas the icon system as -just me- did, I implemented my own solotion however so if you like the code of -just me- more go ahead and change it.
This code does take an icon from the file automatically and allows to pick an icon from an icon resource, including .dll's, with the 'Choose icon' button.
I am sure it needs some more tuning but first things first: Does it work on your side and is it an improvement? It does work on my side and I think it is an improvement but as -just me- said, I am also not 100% sure what you want so let me know how this version works.

@DyaTactic and @just me

Thank you both for examples. I do appreciate them. As clarification, I have an add button. I choose a program that I want to add to the listview, then I choose the icon for that program, then I click the add button to show the icon and the program in the listview. Since I have programs that I use all over different directories on my computer and even back up drives, I want to be able to add then individually, and not have them in a directory like all the examples are that I've found. I could use those programs for a movie list or something that will all be in one directory, but it won't work for me with files all over the place. As you see in the previous images, I have the program being add properly, although I don't want the path showing to the program, but that is a later task. I also have it showing an icon. WHen I add the icon, however, it shows the same icon no matter what program I add. I am guessing I need some type of array that will loops a variable that holds the path to the program. Still trying to figure out how I can do it.

Thanks again to you both!

Alright, so you kinde use the buttons from right to left^^. My intuition wanted to use them from left to right, so first the Add button and then the rest. It works now how you said.
About the Icons. I made it ignore the ChooseIcon button when no rows were selected. Fixed it now. I also hid the 2nd and the 3rd column.

Let me know what you think.
