List view with dropdown list

[AHKStudent]

Does anyone have a current code sample that shows a list view with a dropdown list in one of the cells?

[Epialis]

Simplest way I can write it... Hope it helps.

Code: Select all

Dropdown := ["One", "Two", "Three", "Four", "Five", "Six"]
dropList =
For index, thisBook in Dropdown
	dropList .= "|" A_Index "-" Dropdown[A_Index]
Gui, Add, DropDownList, x10 y10 w132, % dropList
Gui, Show

Esc::ExitApp

Looks good, but as far as I know, this is not a listview.

Oh my... u're right... What happens when you just wake up.

[AHKStudent]

thanks for the attempt to help, as mike pointed out, this is not a list view.

haha, sorry... I got half right... it is a dropdown

[Epialis]

Okay, I lost the link somehow, but how about this? It will show what is in your folder and put it into a listview... depending on what you choose in the dropdown. I was going to post the link but lost it I changed it to a folder on my desktop and it worked. Hopefully I'm understanding you. If not, sorry.. I'm trying. So many have helped me.. just wanna return that; what a community is all about.

@Hellbent thats looks very cool, I wish list views could look like that. What you built is perfect if someone have a few hundred entries of something they want to access and easily modify. Looks amazing.

[Hellbent]

@AHKStudent Thanks. To be honest, I've never actually used a real listview before so I don't know much about what they do or how to use them.
This is just my best guess. Of course I would want to add a few other features such as adjustable column size, sorting each column, etc. etc.

[Epialis]

I'm genuinely amazed at the level of knowledge in this place. Looks great!

[AHKStudent]

@Hellbent thats looks very cool, I wish list views could look like that. What you built is perfect if someone have a few hundred entries of something they want to access and easily modify. Looks amazing.

In C# there is a something called datagridview that is in line of what you are building here. Thanks

[Hellbent]

@AHKStudent

I did a little more work on prototyping a listview control this morning. I'm still just working out how I want to do things to work but I think I have a bunch of the nuts and bolts figured out. I didn't bother to add in sliders to scroll the page in this one, only because I already added that to the first POC.

@Hellbent this is obviously lightyears ahead of the current listview, but it does look like its a heavily customized listview but I dont see any reference to a listview other than the name of the window. I tested the dropdown, works really well, will study this to learn how I can add my data to it, update etc, the ability to customized colors is also something many ask for, thanks again
