Refreshing ListView breaks scrolling
Posted: 06 Apr 2017, 21:27
I created a proof of concept gui for the intended use of our HelpDesk to manage and communicate amongst themselves priority/severity incidents.
Eventually I want this to feed into another app (as read only) that our operations uses so they can see any priority/severity tickets the helpdesk is coordinating.
The first load works fine. The listview is scrollable.
After the listview refreshes (10 seconds to start) 2 odd things happen that i can't figure out why:
* The Gui size gets slightly larger, just a little bit, one time, both in width and height
* The ListView is no longer scrollable
Any idea why?
below is the Proof of concept.
Warning: Running this script will create a TEMP folder on your C drive and create a TEST.CSV with some generic data for use in the test in that directory
(only if you choose Yes at the msgbox prompt).
and a bonus question if anyone knows.. is there a way to omit the first column which indicates the line# of the file being read? it's actually been useful for testing, but I don't think it needs to be in the final version of what I want (like reading row 500 after a year or two of tickets being escalated etc.)
