Hi all and thanks in advance for any help


Please bear with me b/c I am not sure of the lingo. I want to try something that you might consider simple. I want to take create a GUI application that has 4 equal quadrants or maybe even 6 quadrants with a total size of 530x580. In the upper left it will have a column of 400 people. I want to click on the 1st person and see in the upper right corner his handicap, in the lower left corner his home course and in the lower right corner his telephone number. I would ideally like to have more information that just that but I assume you get the idea.

I would love to also put a “find” window to search for a person name in the upper left quadrant, hit “find” or “ok” and go that person.

I hope this makes some sense.

Is this something that Smart GUI can do?


Thanks,

probably IniRead/Write will be a good idea if u want to organize things neat and tight

but for speed-wise (for 400 lists, it shouldnt make noticeable difference), create a list like:

then stringsplit it
this method is faster because on the first run, the program already stores all necessary variable in memory, so the output should be instance compare to IniRead, u read the value when u call it

make a list and display it all on listview first
we will see ur code and edit it accordingly
find function is not hard at all, it just involve gLabel and IfInString commands

i got some free time and wrote this:


base on the stored text is in the following format:

the above script will store all the variables that u need for the listview
example:

why not csv?

thank you --

I assume that I C&P the code and save as test.ahk to desktop and the other as list.txt on desktop.
I get the error message "illegal charater" ";Nameage"

sorry - I am very green

There's no check in the script to remove comments from the text file. What you see in green in the second codebox ( ;Name|age|phone|sex| ) is a comment that should be removed; it's only there for you to understand what each field represents.

thanks -- if that was in the script it would be ignore b/c of the ";" correct but since it is in the txt file it creates the error, right?

so can you make that work? I have two files saved to my desktop

names.ahk and list.txt --- when I double-click the names.ahk -- nothing happens. what am I missing?

thanks

all i did is combine the list.txt, read list.txt function and listview gui
full working code:

very cool -- and that is extremely close to what I am lookign to achieve


I obviously have a lot to learn and I appreciate your patience.

Here is the screen shot GUI and the code for the GUI.

I want to take the data : name age phone number sex (Mary|16|1307325277|female|) from list.txt and place it in each ListView. When I click the ListView name, I want to only see the data for that person in each other ListView.

Thanks and please tell me if this is a long and arduous task.

i just update the last script with searching function, please check

that is very cool -- now I just need to figure out how to modify to look and work like the screen shot above


thank you very much! it is a great start for me!


ok -- where is this symbol on my keyboard -- "|"

right to [ ] keys

many thanks --

how hard would it be to change the GUI from what you made to what I posted in my screen shot?

can anyone help me get the data

Mary|16|1307325277|female| to show up in this GUI



thanks

Where is the data?
