What is the best way to save listicongadget colums

Hi, what is the best way to save listicongadget column order dragged by #PB_ListIcon_HeaderDragDrop, that user if next time open list, gets same column order. To save column names is not the best way i think, especially if app is multilingual. PB4.61

Good question Karu.
My answer is : I don't know.
I *thought* it could be accomplished with GetGadgetItemData(), but my test returns always 0.

Code: Select all

If OpenWindow(0, 0, 0, 640, 300, "ListIconGadgets", #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_ScreenCentered)
    ; left column
    TextGadget    (6,  10,  10, 620, 20, "ListIcon Standard", #PB_Text_Center)
    ListIconGadget(0,  10,  25, 620, 265, "Column 1", 100, #PB_ListIcon_HeaderDragDrop)
    SetGadgetItemData(0,1,1)
    
    For c = 2 To 4
        AddGadgetColumn(0, c, "Column " + Str(c), 65)
        SetGadgetItemData(0,c,c)
    Next
    For r = 0 To 7
        AddGadgetItem(0, r, "Item 1"+Chr(10)+"Item 2"+Chr(10)+"Item 3"+Chr(10)+"Item 4")
    Next
    
    For i=1 To 4
        Debug GetGadgetItemData(0,i)
    Next
    
    Repeat : Until WaitWindowEvent() = #PB_Event_CloseWindow
EndIf
The help file says it works with ListIconGadget(), so it is a mystery to me too.......

@charvista,

I Think that the GetGadgetItemData() reads user entered data, by SetGadgetItemData()

@davido,
I think you are speaking about GetGadgetItemText().

Even user drag columns, getgadgetitemtext get anyway same text from wrong column, so the dragging don't change getgadgettext value, that is the question, how i can understand what column dragged to where?

1- After each change to the ListIcon columns order save the new columns order to a file in the user temp directory
2- When you run the program again you should look for your special file
2-1 if the file exist read the columns order into an array col(ColumnCount+1) for exam
2-2 set the columns order using

Code: Select all

          SendMessage_(GadgetID(?), #LVM_SETCOLUMNORDERARRAY, ColumnCount+1, col())
          InvalidateRect_(GadgetID(?),0,1)


3- if the file not exist
3-1 create the file
3-2 get the columns order

Code: Select all

   [code]
   SendMessage_(GadgetID(?), #LVM_GETCOLUMNORDERARRAY, ColumnCount+1, col())
[/code]
3-3 save the file

Thanks RASHAD, i understand, that after each dragging save column order to file, but i didn't understand how you exactly read column dragged order ?

I tried to follow the advice of RASHAD but no luck so far.

Code: Select all

Enumeration
    #Win
    #Lgad
    #Tgad
    #BtnCheck
EndEnumeration

Dim ColOrder(4)

OpenWindow(#Win,0,0,640,300,"ListIconGadgets",#PB_Window_SystemMenu|#PB_Window_ScreenCentered)
TextGadget(#Tgad,10,10,620,20,"ListIcon Standard",#PB_Text_Center)
ListIconGadget(#Lgad,10,25,620,200,"Column 1",65,#PB_ListIcon_HeaderDragDrop)

For Col=1 To 3
    AddGadgetColumn(#Lgad,Col,"Column "+Str(Col+1),65)
    SendMessage_(GadgetID(#Lgad),#LVM_SETCOLUMNORDERARRAY,Col,ColOrder())
    InvalidateRect_(GadgetID(#Lgad),0,1)
Next
For Row=0 To 7
    AddGadgetItem(#Lgad,Row,"Item 1"+Chr(10)+"Item 2"+Chr(10)+"Item 3"+Chr(10)+"Item 4")
Next


; now give random values to the cells with SetGadgetItemText()
For x = 0 To 7
    For y = 0 To 3
        SetGadgetItemText(#Lgad,x,Chr(Random(25)+65)+Str(Random(9)),y)
    Next y
Next x

ButtonGadget(#BtnCheck,10,250,100,30,"Check")




Repeat
    Event=WaitWindowEvent()
    Select Event
    Case #PB_Event_CloseWindow
        ExitEventLoop=#True
    Case #PB_Event_Gadget
        Select EventGadget()
        Case #BtnCheck
            For i=0 To 3
                SendMessage_(GadgetID(#Lgad),#LVM_GETCOLUMNORDERARRAY,i,ColOrder()); get
                Debug ColOrder(i)
            Next i
            Debug GetGadgetItemText(#Lgad,0,0)
        EndSelect
    EndSelect
Until ExitEventLoop
CloseWindow(#Win)
End
I am trying to save the order of the columns in the array ColOrder(), but I don't get any value....
Does the API SendMessage_() fill the array ColOrder() based on the variable Col?

You have to detect the header drop(end of drag) first

Code: Select all

Global OldProc,Flag
Global Dim col(3)


Procedure.i listiconProc(hWnd, uMsg, wParam, lParam)
  Select uMsg
    Case #WM_NOTIFY
      *nmHEADER.HD_NOTIFY = lParam
      Select *nmHEADER\hdr\code        
        Case #HDN_ENDDRAG
           Flag = 1
      EndSelect
  EndSelect
  ProcedureReturn CallWindowProc_(OldProc, hWnd, uMsg, wParam, lParam)
EndProcedure  
  
  
  OpenWindow(0, 100, 100, 500, 400, "Column Order Test", #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_ScreenCentered)
  ListIconGadget(0, 5, 5, 490, 290, "Name :", 100, #PB_ListIcon_HeaderDragDrop|#PB_ListIcon_AlwaysShowSelection| #PB_ListIcon_GridLines )
  OldProc = SetWindowLongPtr_(GadgetID(0), #GWL_WNDPROC, @listIconProc())
  AddGadgetColumn(0, 1, "Gender :", 100)
  AddGadgetColumn(0, 2, "Age :", 100)
  AddGadgetColumn(0, 3, "No. :", 100)
  For x = 1 To 10
     AddGadgetItem(0, -1, "Data "+Str(x)+"-1" + Chr(10) + "Data "+Str(x)+"-2" + Chr(10) + "Data "+Str(x)+"-3" + Chr(10) + "Data "+Str(x)+"-4")
  Next
  
  Repeat

  Select WaitWindowEvent()
      
      Case #PB_Event_CloseWindow
            Quit = 1
            
           
      Case #WM_LBUTTONUP
           If Flag = 1
              Flag = 0
              SendMessage_(GadgetID(0), #LVM_GETCOLUMNORDERARRAY, 4, col())
              For x = 0 To 3
                Debug col(x)
              Next
            EndIf
            
  EndSelect 

Until Quit = 1
End

Thank you RASHAD!
I have also searched my archives and could combine your solution with srod and got this:

Code: Select all

Enumeration
    #Win
    #Lgad
    #Tgad
    #BtnCheck
EndEnumeration

Dim ColOrder(3)

OpenWindow(#Win,0,0,640,300,"ListIconGadgets",#PB_Window_SystemMenu|#PB_Window_ScreenCentered)
TextGadget(#Tgad,10,10,620,20,"ListIcon Standard",#PB_Text_Center)
ListIconGadget(#Lgad,10,25,620,200,"Column 0",65,#PB_ListIcon_HeaderDragDrop)

For Col=1 To 3
    AddGadgetColumn(#Lgad,Col,"Column "+Str(Col),65)
    SendMessage_(GadgetID(#Lgad),#LVM_SETCOLUMNORDERARRAY,Col,@ColOrder())
    ;InvalidateRect_(GadgetID(#Lgad),0,1)
Next
For Row=0 To 7
    AddGadgetItem(#Lgad,Row,"Item 0"+Chr(10)+"Item 1"+Chr(10)+"Item 2"+Chr(10)+"Item 3")
Next


ButtonGadget(#BtnCheck,10,250,100,30,"Check")


Repeat
    Event=WaitWindowEvent()
    Select Event
    Case #PB_Event_CloseWindow
        ExitEventLoop=#True
    Case #PB_Event_Gadget
        Select EventGadget()
        Case #BtnCheck
            headerWnd = SendMessage_(GadgetID(#Lgad),#LVM_GETHEADER,0,0)
            numCols = SendMessage_(headerWnd, #HDM_GETITEMCOUNT,0,0)
            Dim ColOrder(numCols-1)
            SendMessage_(GadgetID(#Lgad),#LVM_GETCOLUMNORDERARRAY,numCols,@ColOrder())
            For i=0 To 3
                Debug ColOrder(i)
            Next i
            Debug GetGadgetItemText(#Lgad,0,0)
        EndSelect
    EndSelect
Until ExitEventLoop
CloseWindow(#Win)
End

Did anyone try this?

Code: Select all

If OpenWindow(0, 0, 0, 640, 300, "ListIconGadgets", #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_ScreenCentered)
    ; left column
    TextGadget    (6,  10,  10, 620, 20, "ListIcon Standard", #PB_Text_Center)
    ListIconGadget(0,  10,  25, 620, 265, "Column 1", 100, #PB_ListIcon_HeaderDragDrop)
    SetGadgetItemData(0,1,1)
   
    For c = 2 To 4
        AddGadgetColumn(0, c, "Column " + Str(c), 65)
        SetGadgetItemData(0,c,c)
    Next
    For r = 0 To 28 Step 4
    	AddGadgetItem(0, r/4, "Item " + Str(1+r) +Chr(10)+"Item " + Str(2+r)+Chr(10)+"Item " + Str(3+r)+Chr(10)+"Item " + Str(4+r))
    Next
   
    For i=0 To 7
    	For j=0 To 3
    		Debug GetGadgetItemText(0,i,j)
    	Next
    Next
   
    Repeat : Until WaitWindowEvent() = #PB_Event_CloseWindow
EndIf
I changed the whole r loop just to show that the correct item was picked.

I understand, and it is smart, but alas your code does not solve the problem.
Try below your own code on which I added a Check.
Run the program, and click on Check. the line marked with "***" will show "*** Item 20" in the Debug window.
Now move the column 4 to the column 1 with your mouse (drag/drop) because the ListIconGadget() was created with the flag #PB_ListIcon_HeaderDragDrop.
And click on Check again. The debug still shows "*** Item 20" while it had to be now "*** Item 19".

Code: Select all

If OpenWindow(0, 0, 0, 640, 300, "ListIconGadgets", #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_ScreenCentered)
    ; left column
    TextGadget    (6,  10,  10, 620, 20, "ListIcon Standard", #PB_Text_Center)
    ListIconGadget(0,  10,  25, 620, 200, "Column 1", 100, #PB_ListIcon_HeaderDragDrop)
    ;SetGadgetItemData(0,1,1)
    
    For c = 2 To 4
        AddGadgetColumn(0, c, "Column " + Str(c), 65)
        ;SetGadgetItemData(0,c,c)
    Next
    For r = 0 To 28 Step 4
        AddGadgetItem(0, r/4, "Item " + Str(1+r) +Chr(10)+"Item " + Str(2+r)+Chr(10)+"Item " + Str(3+r)+Chr(10)+"Item " + Str(4+r))
    Next
    
    ButtonGadget(5,10,230,100,30,"Check")
    
    For i=0 To 7
        For j=0 To 3
            Debug GetGadgetItemText(0,i,j)
        Next
    Next
    
    Repeat
        Event=WaitWindowEvent()
        Select Event
            Case #PB_Event_CloseWindow
                ExitEventLoop=#True
            Case #PB_Event_Gadget
                Select EventGadget()
                    Case 5
                        Debug "*** "+GetGadgetItemText(0,4,3)
                        For i=0 To 7
                            For j=0 To 3
                                Debug GetGadgetItemText(0,i,j)
                            Next
                        Next

Hi all,

sorry for bringing this back up, but I've got a question about the values returned by the api call and how to interpret them and I didn'T want to open a new topic.

When I take the example of RASHAD and drag column 1 in front of column 0 [1-0-2-3] I get :

4294...
1288...
0
0

When I move column 2 in front of column 1 [0-2-1-3] I get:
8588...
1288...
0
0

First question: Shouldn't there be an ID for every column in the array?
Second question: Why did the ID of column 0 changed from 4294... to 8588... in the second example?

Somehow I don't get it how GETCOLUMNORDERARRAY works :?

Thanks in advance,
Fenix

The most likely reason for getting the results you are seeing is that you're using PB x64. Notice that the col() array is dimmed with no type, which means it will default to .i which is 8 bytes on x64 and the wrong size for the API to output to. The API will write one index every 4 bytes and it has no idea what datatype you used for it. All it cares about is whether it's enough memory or not. It's dumping the first index into the low side of the first element and the second index into the high side of the first element and so on. That's also why your last two elements are always 0 because it's finished dumping before it gets to them. The correct type to use for the array is .l to always have 4-byte elements. Just use Dim col.l(3) and all will be well.
