The Document that was here has been removed for some super revision, in the mean time the following script can be used as an example for those who want to proform the following actions to a list, or set of lists:

Move the Cursel Up
Move the Cursel Down
Add Files to a list
Add a User Entry to a list
Add Files via Drag and Drop
Import Contents of a file to a list
Remove A Item from a list
Remove a Select Items' Duplicates from a list
Remove All Duplicated Items from a list
Move Selected Item Up in list
Move Selected Item Down in list
Move Selected Item from one to the other
Replace an Item with User defined entry
Copy Selected Item to other list
Sort a lists contents by Case (Add a single N character to this function for Numeric Sorting)
Swap Items from list to list
Switch two items within a list

Each function has been well tested but bugs may still be present. Please report them as they are found. Note: Know issue with Importing files, Entering "n" as a delimiter is seen as "`n" This will soon be fixed

Functions that are planned to be developed:

Mass Copy (Simular to above)
Mass Swap (Simular to above)
Mass Switch
Mass Move selected Items
...and more as they are thought of....

This script is not well comented but should suffice until I write I document to explain it all.

Dear Invalid User

It is very nice effort on your part to write a helpful tutorial for Novice Coders like my self. It is elaborate and practical. I know it must have been a pain to write a long document for other's sake.

Someone once said and I quote

"Smart people Write books. Smarter people Read them "

So in this case I am smarter than you are. Just kidding.

Now to the nitty gritty.

I have some questions and few Comments and Suggestions if you don't mind.

Comment # 1:
I have experienced that when you use v to give a GUI control a value, it some times happens, specially when you have to return to the GUI without Reload that you get an error message stating that one variable can be used once per GUI.

Example # 1:
Suppose I have A GUI that has to use two buttons with the same value

For your first problem with the buttons each button can contain the same text and each proform a differnt subroutine, like the following

Hi,

Thank you for posting this. It will be very helpfull for newbies.

I have some remarks, though. I hope you don't mind:

1) The following lines are not needed in the SplitUpString, since the split overrides all items. If you want to free the memory of that array, you shoudl do that in the FillListFromArray routine

Do I read some lines of code from my ToDo v0.1 application? Wink

If so, I'm happy that InvalidUser found them helpful. Very Happy

yes agu, your code is in here and thanks to you and toraf is planned in the document that will go with this. Thanks both for code. it saved me some time already having these subroutines written

@toralf! Dang man, all being pushing about it I am OFFENDED Mad

nah, I am kidding, Thanks for the feed back lets see here

#1, I didnt know wheather the higher values of an array would be redefined as blank. So I used this to make sure, I removed this section and it still works fine. Thanks

#2 Thanks I didnt realize I was doing that. Kinda tired.

#3 This code came from another script that required send msg. So I simply adapted it to this. However for a novice or newb (like myself) Using your code may be much easyier to understand, I changed that. Thanks

#4 Changed this, Uses less code and I think it runs faster too. I should have see this one! Thanks

#5 I didnt think of that, I should have caught that too. I would have if I had used the ahk install files on my pc to test that filter. Changed code to use arrays to determine File extension for filter, Thanks

#6 Fixed, That I can admit to doing wrong, those routines were developed before SplitUpString and FillListFromArray were. Thanks for noticing such little details

#7 I could not get this to work by just copy and pasting into the script, Is this code tested? And I realized while testing it that something else would have to be delveloped as StringSearch has two options like ya said.

#8 hmm Looks good, works good, and its shorter. Thank you.

#9 I am a crackpot, what can I say. "there are three ways to skin a cat, The good way, the bad way, and the other way" I just made that up, but it fits.

Thanks for all the feedback

Have you split up the string?
And filled the array back in to the listbox after the remove routine?
