hello

Looking for below: <searched all day -- fail>
A command to GOTO certain Line number in
a EDIT box <and/OR> LIST box.
<hope I don't need line num's loaded in box(s)>

I'm thinking I used to have a API function for this, or maybe not.
Checked MAC's example {awesome} but not in there.
A solution would be highly appreciated.

*Trying to create some bookmarks in my
homemade .slo editor for my old game.

hope everyone is doing well, by the way.
Thanks & cheers

Try this API code:

Windows = (Windows NT, Windows 95, Windows 98, Win32's)
wParam = (WPARAM) index;// item index
lParam = (LPARAM) fScroll; // flag for scrolling item
Message ID = $019E

Description: An application sends an LB_SETCARETINDEX message to set the focus rectangle to the item at the specified index in a multiple-selection list box. If the item is not visible, it is scrolled into view. This only shows the item it does not make it selected or clicked.

Parameters

WPARAM INDEX VALUES

Value of wParam. Specifies the zero-based index of the list box item that is to receive the focus rectangle.

LPARAM FSCROLL VALUES

Value of lParam. Specifies whether to scroll to the item or not.

Value Meaning
0 Item is scrolled until fully visible
1 Item is scrolled until partially visible
Return Value: If an error occurs, the return value is -1.

Thanks a million time LiquidCode.

VDS7 would be nice with a compatibility
option in the compile menu area

I've made my Win10 pro 64bit desktop look like win98.
*so now I'm spoiled not to use win98 or XP.

If I could have not compiled to exe without error
I was gonna try setting the exe to win98 mode.

But I knew all that was just a dream

I thought of another non-API alternative the other day that
may do the job -- much rather have API though

I have all that API stuff laying around, just
couldn't ever figure it out
I have too many things to fix and not enough brains

I appreciate the SADE code though
..and your fast help and time.

cheers -- thanks again

I got the LIST box way working thanks to LiquidCode, but it turns
out I need the EDIT box API before it will work.

Below is a small EXAMPLE of the LIST box API:

[cnodnarb]

EM_LINEINDEX As Int: = $BB

?
(use with @sendmsg)

Thanks a millionTrillion cnodnarb


I'll give it a whirl asap


cheers <appreciate it highly>

I guess I did something wrong, so the EDIT-box API fails.
So I created this simple test tool to try to get it working.

Concerning EDIT box below:
At first I thought maybe it was dividing the total lines by 3 for the result.
So I tried 10 at 100 lines and it equaled 31
So I tried 7 at 100 lines and it equaled 21
So I tried 10 at 50 lines and it equaled 31
So I tried 4 at 50 lines and it equaled 12

Looks like its just dividing the first number by approximately 3.
That tells me hex converting prolly won't do it.
I have not thought to nor know how to try.

hmm
Anyone have a hint or clue or resolution?
Thanks in advance..

I wrote, and still use, a VDS program that pulls a list of 400+ computers/equipment IP addresses from an Excel spreadsheet, and then based on the unit selected, can connect to shares, remote to it, or pull up the MMC functions.

Part of the list function is to have it searchable, so as you type in the Search edit box, the original list feeds to the displayed list, and only the lines that match part of the search box are displayed.

I also have buttons, like 'Printers', that instantly narrow down the list to just show all the printers. There is an action column in the spreadsheet, so when you dbl-click anything in the list, based on the action it might remote to that PC, open a Web browser to that IP, or launch a certain program with the IP as a parameter. A single click updates a status bar with ping results and host name, if available.

You could probably do something like that for your shortcuts?

If you want a certain portion of the code I could pass it on.

Thanks for the reply Nathan
Checking this every few days.

SOLVED

I finally put it all together as a nice little example code below.
