[SOLVED] Show multiple extensions in Gui Listview Topic is solved

[timoshina]

Fellas, where can I specify which file extensions I want to show in my list?
For example txt, docx, jpg

Code: Select all

Gui, Add, ListView, x5 y5 w200 h350 gLiveList, ==Desktop Files==
Gui, Show, NoActivate

folderdir = %A_Desktop%\*.*
fileext = *
settimer,aaa, 5000

LB:
LV_Delete()
Loop, %folderdir%*.%fileext%
   LV_Add("", A_LoopFileName)
return


LiveList:
if A_GuiEvent
return


aaa:
gosub,LB
return

[TLM]

try something like

Code: Select all

fileExtensions = txt, docx, jpg ; << create a list of white listed extensions, place at or near top of script
;......................
LB:
LV_Delete()
Loop, %folderdir%*.%fileext%
{
	; add the below condition
	if ( InStr( fileExtensions, fileext ) )
	{
		LV_Add("", A_LoopFileName)
	}
}

I just eyeballed so no guarantee it's exactly what you're after.

I appreciate fast answer but unfortunately something is missing. Now it doesn't show any files at all.

ok I think I got it and It seems to work. Hope this is the proper way to go

Code: Select all

Gui, Add, ListView, x5 y5 w200 h350 gLiveList, ==Desktop Files==
Gui, Show, NoActivate
settimer,aaa, 5000

LB:
LV_Delete()
Loop, %A_Desktop%\*.txt
   LV_Add("", A_LoopFileName)
Loop, %A_Desktop%\*.jpg
   LV_Add("", A_LoopFileName)
Loop, %A_Desktop%\*.docx
   LV_Add("", A_LoopFileName)
return


LiveList:
if A_GuiEvent
return


aaa:
gosub,LB
return

Funny thing the code above works in windows 10 but does not work in windows 7 (only shows first loop). Question is still open then

This works for me on all OS's

Code: Select all

fileExtensions = txt jpg docx

Loop, %A_Desktop%\*.*
{
	if ( InStr( fileExtensions, A_LoopFileExt ) ) 
		msgbox % A_LoopFileFullPath
}

Obviously you'd have to change the message box to you ListView command.

You only have to loop through the files once.

Thank you, TLM!

Here is the final code

Code: Select all

Gui, Add, ListView, x5 y5 w200 h350 gLiveList, ==Desktop Files==
Gui, Show
settimer,aaa, 3000  ;updates file list every 3 seconds

fileExtensions = txt jpg docx

LB:
LV_Delete()
Loop, %A_Desktop%\*.*
   if ( InStr( fileExtensions, A_LoopFileExt ) ) 
   LV_Add("", A_LoopFileName)
return 

LiveList:
if A_GuiEvent
return

aaa:
gosub,LB
return

GuiClose:
ExitApp
