ListViewFromFileList() - Ready To Use ListView

23 Mar 2019, 02:46

It's all in the title, i wanted a ready to use, interactive & resizable ListView for use with File/Folder lists.
  • Open On Double Click
    Open Parent Folder On Double Right Click with file/folder selected

    Context Menus:
    • Copy To Clipboard(If single file it's copied as a file to clipboard,so just Ctrl+V to paste in explorer, if multiple selection then the list of files is copied to clipboard)
      Show In Explorer(Opens active file/folder in explorer, selected)
    File/Folder Sizes formatted logically with additional File & Folder Count for Folders in list
EDIT: Fixed one too many mistakes i made in this one, My Bad, i made modifications just before posting it.
EDIT: Fixed a few redundant errors, no functional impact, just looked weird as they had no longer had any purpose,like multiple returns forgotten after modification.

Code: Select all

If !FileExist(StrSplit(fileList, "`n")[1])	;if first item on list doesn't exist prompt for a new list...
	FileSelectFile, fileList, M2, % A_ScriptDir, Select Files From Which To Generate A File List.
Loop Parse, fileList, `n	;FileSelectFile seems to provide file names & folder name separately,so this fixes that...
	If (A_Index > 1)
		fL .= StrSplit(fileList, "`n")[1] "\" A_LoopField "`n"
;MsgBox % fL

ListViewFromFileList(fL)
ExitApp

; Function: AutoXYWH
;   Move and resize control automatically when GUI resizes.
; Parameters:
;   DimSize - Can be one or more of x/y/w/h  optional followed by a fraction
;             add a '*' to DimSize to 'MoveDraw' the controls rather then just 'Move', this is recommended for Groupboxes
;   cList   - variadic list of ControlIDs
;             ControlID can be a control HWND, associated variable name, ClassNN or displayed text.
;             The later (displayed text) is possible but not recommend since not very reliable
; Examples:
;   AutoXYWH("xy", "Btn1", "Btn2")
;   AutoXYWH("w0.5 h 0.75", hEdit, "displayed text", "vLabel", "Button1")
;   AutoXYWH("*w0.5 h 0.75", hGroupbox1, "GrbChoices")

Re: ListViewFromFileList() - Ready To Use ListView

@0x00, thanks for this and your other recent posts. You've been prolific, that's greatly appreciated.
I have one question and one suggestion.
Suggestion first. The code below seems to work better for me when double-right-clicking.

Code: Select all

	MyListView:
	LV_GetText(RowText, A_EventInfo)  ; Get the text from the row's first field.
	LV_GetText(RowText3rdColumn, A_EventInfo, 3)  ; Get the text from the row's first field.
	if (A_GuiEvent = "DoubleClick")
		Run, % RowText3rdColumn		;open file with default application
	else if (A_GuiEvent = "RightClick") {
		keywait, rbutton, d, t0.2
		if (errorlevel == 0) {
			gosub, HighlightInExplorer
		}
		else {
			Menu,Menu1,Show
			return
		}
	}
	return
Question: When trying to copy the path(s) to the clipboard from the menu, all that gets pasted is [code]Menu, Menu1, Show[/code] whatever was already on the clipboard. I'm running Win7 64-bit, AHK 1.1.30.01 64-bit. I've tried to work through the various functions to see if I can get one or more paths to show up in msgboxes for debugging, but no luck so far. Any thoughts or help on this?

Cool, modified accordingly.

That was my silliness, i added one last line before posting it, Gui New,i've rectified that, i also used a fileList in a variable so i didn't account for the weird output by FileSelectFile. All rectified.


Thanks for your corrections, that was quiet something... I'll be sure to double check modifications before i post.

@0x00, that was quick! Copying works now.
Just one more thing, your code in the new version
Spoiler
still makes the single right click trump the double click, so you have to move the mouse and double right-click to do what you want. If you do this
Spoiler
there's no need to check for

Code: Select all

A_GuiEvent = "R"
because you're checking for

Code: Select all

errorlevel == 0
instead. If errorlevel isn't zero (i.e. no double click), it falls through to single click. I hope I'm making sense, maybe not :)

burque505

PS: Once again, very nice script, and thanks!
