Pleased to annouce the release of Kixforms Verison 2.1.1 (Build 35) available for download from Kixforms web site:
Kixforms Dowload Page
Heres the liner notes for this build:
ListView Object
Added HeaderStyle property to ListView object (write-only). Settings are as follows:
- 0 = Header hidden
- 1 = Header visible, but not clickable
- 2 = Header visible, and clickable
Added Insert method to ListView Item Collection. Usage is as follows:
$Item = $ListView.Items.Insert(index,text)
This creates a new item and inserts it into the collection at the specified index. To add an item to the beginning of this list, specify this:
$Item = $ListView.Items.Insert(0,"John Doe")
To insert an item to the the end of list, specify this:
$Item = $ListView.Items.Insert($ListView.Items.Count,"John Doe")
The previous example performs the same action as Items.Add()
TextBox Object
Added SuperLocked setting to TextBox Locked property. The new settings for locked are as follows:
- 0 = Unlocked
- 1 = Locked (user can copy & navigate only)
- 2 = SuperLocked (user can navigate only)
InputBox Method
Changed InputBox to initially set focus to the text box on startup and to pre-select (highlight) the default string.
Feature Changes & Improvements
- Much improved sorting of ListView control via ColumnHeader click.
- The Enabled property for all objects now supports True/False strings.
- Changed the handling of the Default button and TextBoxes on the same form.
Bug Fixes- Fixed filter problem with FileOpenDialog and FileSaveDialog.
- Fixed ListView FullRowSelect to respond to boolean True/False.
- Fixed various memory leaks when returning objects from ListView.
- Fixed RadioButtons on forms that have subforms with child controls.
As always, please feel free to add any comment, questions or feedback into this thread.

Les, there isn't really anything script-worthy in this release, mostly just bug fixes and cleanup ... the only thing maybe would be the Locked property SuperLocked setting, but thats just a tweak to existing TextBoxes anyways.
j - going to start looking at those graphics problem now, for the next release. see your msn - lets chat. ![[Wink]](images/icons/wink.gif)

Great work Shawn. I checked out your web site and also downloaded the KixForms dll. Unfortunately, I can't seem to locate any examples or documentation on Progress Bar. Can you please assist. All I want is to provide a GUI indication to the user that the script is running and I will pop up a messagebox at the end to let them know it is done.
Thanks,

Hi Anupam, welcome to the board.
Here's a script I just happened to have kixing around. Take a peek at the section for building a progressbar ... here it is:
code:
$PBar = $Form.ProgressBar
$PBar.Size = 370,25
$PBar.Location = 10,$Msg.Bottom + 5
$PBar.Min = 0
$PBar.Max = 100
$PBar.Value = 0
Basically, you create a progressbar with the $form.progressbar method (constructor) - that returns a handle to a progressbar object ($PBar) ... then we set its Size and Location on the form, and the Min(imum) value and the Max(imum) value and the current Value ... then later on in the script, simply change the value of Value to move the progressbar along ... heres the entire script:
INSTALL.KIX
code:
Break On
$Form = CreateObject("Kixtart.Form")
$Form.FontSize = 12
$Form.Size = 400,390
$Form.PrintXY(10,10,"Select a product and press enter:")
$ListBox = $Form.ListBox
$ListBox.Size = 200,205
$ListBox.Location = 10,50
$ListBox.FontName = Verdana
$ListBox.OnKeyDown = "ListBox_KeyDown"
$ListBox.OnDoubleClick = "ListBox_DoubleClick"
For $i = 0 to 100
$ListBox.AddItem("Product #$i")
Next
$InstallButton = $Form.Button
$InstallButton.Text = "Install"
$InstallButton.Left = $ListBox.Right + 30
$InstallButton.Top = $ListBox.Top
$InstallButton.OnClick = "InstallButton_Click()"
$ExitButton = $Form.Button
$ExitButton.Text = "Exit"
$ExitButton.Left = $ListBox.Right + 30
$ExitButton.Top = $InstallButton.Bottom + 10
$ExitButton.OnClick = "ExitButton_Click()"
$Msg = $Form.Label
$Msg.Size = 370,25
$Msg.Location = 10,$ListBox.Bottom + 25
$Msg.Text = "Ready ..."
$PBar = $Form.ProgressBar
$PBar.Size = 370,25
$PBar.Location = 10,$Msg.Bottom + 5
$PBar.Min = 0
$PBar.Max = 100
$PBar.Value = 0
$Form.Center
$Form.Show
$ListBox.SetFocus
$ListBox.ListIndex = 0
While $Form.Visible
$=Execute($Form.DoEvents)
Loop
Exit 1
Function ListBox_KeyDown
If $ListBox.KeyCode = 13 ; RETURN
Install($ListBox.Value)
$ListBox.SetFocus
EndIf
EndFunction
Function InstallButton_Click()
Install($ListBox.Value)
EndFunction
Function ListBox_DoubleClick()
Install($ListBox.Value)
EndFunction
Function Install($Product)
If $Product
$Msg.Text = "Installing " + $Product
For $i = 0 to $PBar.Max
$PBar.Value = $i
Sleep (0.025)
Next
$Msg.Text = "Ready ..."
$PBar.Value = 0
EndIf
EndFunction
Function ExitButton_Click()
$Form.Hide
EndFunction
Please feel free to post any questions or concerns you may have ...

This is actually a RFF (Request for Feature) ![[Smile]](images/icons/smile.gif) . I'm not sure if this is in the works, but an object that contains a tree view would be great. Very similar to Windows Explorer, but the structure and data is controlled progamatically. I hope I explained this well enough.
Also, the default button works wonderfully now!! Thanks again for such a great tool.

Shawn,
I am interested in getting this implemented in our enterprise..
Do you or somebody out there have a form defined for showing status of the script and login sequence?
I thought about taking about the example script for the User Management..
Thanks!
Kent

I was working on doing a KiXforms loginscript example. Give me a bit to get to work, and a bit to finish it up.

Actually Rod, might want to give this statement a try right now:
$ListView.Items.Clear
I was working on this just prior to releasing build 35
