 Posted: Mon Jan 08, 2007 12:21 am Post subject: List all directories in Local Disk (C:) next to check boxes |
 |
|
Hi all long time no see... 
Please help, i'm trying to create a dialog that will list all directories on the C: drive and have check boxes next to each directory.
I've created this jpg in mspaint as an example of what i'm looking for -> 
After the boxes are selected I want to use filecopy to copy the directories to E:\data drive.
Here's what I put togehter thanks to some examples from this forum...
| Code: | DIALOG CREATE,Test File Selection,-1,0,300,200,COLOR WHITE,SMALLCAP,CLASS TestFile
DIALOG ADD,STYLE,STYLE2,Verdana,8,,,BLUE
DIALOG ADD,STYLE,STYLE1,Verdana,8,,,
DIALOG ADD,LIST,LIST1,8,8,280,136,Double Click to Remove entries,DBLCLICK
DIALOG ADD,BUTTON,Directories,160,24,80,24,Directories,,STYLE1
LIST CREATE, 1
LIST CREATE, 2
DIALOG ADD,BUTTON,Data_Transfer,160,160,112,24,Data Transfer
DIALOG SHOW
:timer
:Evloop
DIALOG CURSOR
wait event,0
goto @event()
:DirectoriesBUTTON
LIST CLEAR, 1
%%File = @dirdlg(Directories,Directory Selection,)
LIST APPEND, 1, %%file
end
:append
LIST APPEND, 2,1
LIST APPEND, LIST1, 1
goto evloop
:LIST1DBLCLICK
LIST DELETE, LIST1
goto evloop
:Data_transferBUTTON
File copy, %%File, E:\data,
:Close
exit |

Not sure if there's a dll or dsu to do what you want.
But the way I'd do it is to get rid of the folder icons. Then I'd use checkbox icons instead. If a table item is clicked I'd change the 'unchecked icon' to a 'checked icon' (and add a value to a hidden field). If the item that's clicked on already has this value in the hidden field I'd replace the 'checked icon' with the 'unchecked icon' and delete the value in the hidden field. Then when it's time to copy the selected directories I'd loop through the list and only copy those items with the hidden value set.

Thanks for the quick reply DaveŽ
I'm ok not using the folder icons and doing it your way. However, I'm not sure how I can put the checkboxes next to my directory list. For example... If I use list loadfile, list1, c:\directories.txt (directories.txt contains a list of the c:\directories) to populate the dialog list1, how do I connect the checkboxes to this list? If possible could you please post a sample code or hint on how to.
Trimmed code | Code: | DIALOG CREATE,New Dialog,-1,0,240,160
DIALOG ADD,LIST,LIST1,8,40,176,144
list create, 1
DIALOG SHOW
goto load
:timer
wait event
goto @event()
:load
list loadfile, list1, c:\directories.txt
goto timer
:close
exit |
Thanks again,
Gary

Here's some example code:
| Code: | DIALOG CREATE,New Dialog,-1,0,304,217
DIALOG ADD,TABLE,TABLE1,8,8,288,201,Directory[260]|Checked[0],,DBLCLICK,SORTED
list create, 1
DIALOG SHOW
goto load
:timer
wait event
goto @event()
:load
list loadfile, 1, c:\directories.txt
if @greater(@count(1),0)
repeat
if @item(1)
option fieldsep,|
list add,table1,@item(1)@tab()@tab()|unchecked.bmp
end
%x = @next(1)
until @not(@ok())
end
goto timer
:close
exit
:table1dblclick
%x = @item(table1)
list delete,table1,@item(table1)
option fieldsep,@tab()
parse "%a;%b",%x
option fieldsep,|
if @equal(%b,X)
list add,table1,%a@tab()@tab()|unchecked.bmp
else
list add,table1,%a@tab()X@tab()|checked.bmp
end
rem You can use 'dialog focus,controlname' here to move the cursor focus away from the list.
goto timer
|
You'll need two 16x16 bmps - one named unchecked.bmp and the other named checked.bmp.
I used dblclick instead of click, as click events are generated by the script itself. And you can use an api sendmsg to hide the table header if you want the table to look like a bitlist.
PS I had to change your directorylist.txt file so each directory was on a separate line.

But it is not really a checkbox he is suggesting you use, but a bitmap that looks like a checkbox.

Nice Dave! very nice... thank you so much, how much do I owe u?  one thing though, I can't get my 16x16 .bmp's to work. You're piping the bmp's without using bitbtn, am I right?

Hi Jules and Uvedese nice to meet you...
Jules, thanks for pointing this out; do you think I can use an API as Uvedese suggested?

Just help someone else in future when they ask a question you know the answer to.

I actually used 17x17 pixel bmps (screen grabs of actual checkboxes) even though the help file says they must be 16x16.
checkbox-bmps.zip They need to be in your project's main directory, or the include directory.

Not really. The bitmap is a standard feature of tables (same as bitcombo and bitlists). You can use any field separator (except @tab()) and it must be the current field separator that your script is using. I just used the | pipe because it's the VDS default field separator.
You're actually clicking on the table item (not the checkbox) and the script is deleting the selected item and replacing it complete with the new bmp.

Very cool, uvedese. It's very handy for working out API messages for tables. But in this instance with adding checkboxes to a table how exactly do you determine if a table checkbox is checked or not in VDS? Obviously(?) you can't use @dlgtext()
I also downloaded and played with popmenu - also very cool. I have downloaded a bunch of your stuff before... but never got around to trying any of it. I just I wish I could read Spanish.

Hi DaveŽ:
I am glad of which scripts is something useful... but, I also have many problems with the English... (many?... surely that my English is full of mistakes and errors) 
About checkboxes in table... it's possible is possible to see the state of each checkbox using API call...
FUNCTION "Get checkstate" (LVM_GETITEMSTATE)
It's necessary to read at the beginning the value that gives back the function:
| Code: | | %a = @sendmsg(@winexists(~TABLE1),@sum($1000,44),%%item,$F000) |
where %%item is the "item" in table...
In one second reading the value will be greater if the checkbox is "check" (TRUE)

Absolutely! Looking forward to help; Learning every day. Your 17x17 bmp's worked like a charm. I was initially putting my 16x16 bmp's inside the main project folder to no avail, thus I thought I had to use a path. Include and | separator make perfect sense.
Thanks again DaveŽ

Uvedese,
Thanks for your link. I was like a kid in a candy store, going through half of your scripts was fun. Thanks to the PopMenu script, I learned that shinobisof has an informative site as well. I will definitely look into learning more about API. BTW, I think your English is fine.
