 |
|
I thought I had seen reference to highlighting multiple items in a list box before, but can't find anything in searching the forums here.
I took a look at the "LB" messages in the API help file, but the only thing close is the LB_SETANCHORINDEX and LB_SETCURSEL, while the first one almost does what needs to be done, it will only highlight a range. If I want to highlight say index 1,2,3 and 5, the SETANCHORINDEX I don't believe will suffice since it seems to be used for consecutive items without any breaks, unless I'm reading it wrong.
Does anyone know how to set the highlight of multiple items in a multi select list box? Specifically if they are not one after another, but broken up?
Thanks in advance,
~Garrett

Quick example
| Code: |
DIALOG CREATE,New Dialog,-1,0,200,225
DIALOG ADD,LIST,LIST1,9,9,182,182,,MULTI
DIALOG ADD,BUTTON,BUTTON1,195,55,90,25,Selected Items
DIALOG SHOW
LIST ADD,LIST1,1
LIST ADD,LIST1,2
LIST ADD,LIST1,3
LIST ADD,LIST1,4
LIST ADD,LIST1,5
REM $0185 = LB_SETSEL
REM An application sends an LB_SETSEL message to select a string in a multiple-selection list box.
REM @sendmsg(@winexists(~LIST1),$0185,<TRUE/FALSE>,<Item Index>)
%P = @sendmsg(@winexists(~LIST1),$0185,1,0)
%P = @sendmsg(@winexists(~LIST1),$0185,1,1)
%P = @sendmsg(@winexists(~LIST1),$0185,1,3)
:Evloop
wait event
goto @event()
:BUTTON1BUTTON
gosub GetSelectedItems
info Selected Indexes: %%items
goto evloop
:Close
exit
:GetSelectedItems
%i = @count(LIST1)
%x = 0
%%items = ""
repeat
if @greater(@sendmsg(@winexists(~LIST1),$0187,%x,0),0)
if @greater(@len(%%items),0)
%%items = %%items"|"%x
else
%%items = %x
end
end
%x = @succ(%x)
until @equal(%x,%i)
exit

Wow... I assumed the SETSEL would only allow a single selection and that a second call of it would reset the first one.
Thanks a bunch SnarlingSheep, and thanks uvedese.
