I'm new to PB and for tutorial purposes I'm creating a simple batch file rename program.

I'm using the gadgets, ExplorerTree and ListIconGadget (for the multiple columns). So far I can navigate via the ExplorerTree gadget and populate the ListIconGadget with a listing of files (filename & date created). There is a third column "New Name" which initially is blank.

My question is, how do a cycle through the items in the ListIconGadget, for the life of me I couldn't find that in the help manual.

Next question, what is the best way to add data to the third column but retaining the same data in columns 1 & 2 (or 0 and 1 to be precise).

Any help appreciated.

1.
Use CountGadgetItems() and GetGadgetItemText() to loop through all ListIcon items (with a For-Loop)
2.
Use SetGadgetItemText() with a combination of GetGadgetItemText() + Chr(9) + "Column 3"

should be enough.

Addgadgetitem needs chr(9).

Code: Select all

Setgadgetitemtext(#gadget, row, text.s, column)

should be enough.

Addgadgetitem needs chr(9).

Aye, I never saw this optional argument

EDIT:
Sample code for the first problem:

Thanks all, got that bit nutted out.
