ListIconGadget() column headers detection

[PB&J Lover]

Can the column headers for the listboxes be used as buttons? If I click on one can that be detected (so that I could sort by that column or something)?

Thanks

Have you tried these...

Code: Select all

GetGadgetItemText(#Gadget, Item, Column)
SetGadgetItemText(#Gadget, Item, Text$, Column)

Column starts with "0".

Yes, I use them in my program. I am talking about the column headers (which appear to be buttons). Can a click on them be detected (they are not in the event loop).

I am not talking about the data in the list itself, this is a different part of the gadget.

Thanks

Not that I'm aware of because in the manual, it doesn't give them any kind of value. I could be wrong though. Sorry I could't be more help.

Do a search for listicon and you will find several examples.

Here is one that might help you
viewtopic.php?t=13224&highlight=listicon

although there are ways to do it without the library.

I use a procedure that I include (based on code found on these forums) in
my programs. However, it requres a slightly different definition of the
listicon gadgets to make it work. You can see it at work in the source code

Good luck

I asked a similar question on the Coding Questions board earlier today.

@TerryHough,

That is a good collection of PureBasic stuff! Probably not enough people know about it, hopefully this brings it to people's attention.

Neat.


Edit: BTW, how do you pronounce your surname? Rhymes with ... (From an earlier, blocked, discussion.)

@Dare2
Thanks. I hope some are found useful.

And that would be like rough, tough, and enough.

The manual states:

• GetGadgetItemText()
  
  Syntax
  
  Result$ = GetGadgetItemText(#Gadget, Item, Column)
  
  Description
  ...
  - ListIconGadget() - returns the entry of the given 'Item' and 'Column'. If 'Item' = -1, the 'Column' header is returned.

Wow TerryHough, (hope that doesn't rhyme)

Just browsing your site...what a lot of work!

Thanks for sharing, just wish I had more time to go through all this code.

Dare2's spot on, this is a resource worth knowing about.
