The code (below) doesn't seem to be working right. I'm making a list of all my contacts and then trying to read nicknames from the registry and set them in the next column. Adding the contact works fine, but it won't set the nickname text. I've checked the value of nickname and it is correct, it's just the function failing for some reason (Only reason in documentation is that the window may have already closed, but it hasn't)

Please help, it's driving me mad

code:

---

for (var objSubKey in objSubKeys){
                    nickname = Registry_GetKeyValue(HKCU, 'Software\\Patchou\\Messenger Plus! Live\\GlobalSettings\\Scripts\\myScript\\Settings\\'+Messenger.MyUserId+"\\"+objSubKey, "Nickname")
                    nick.LstView_AddItem("Contacts", findEmail(objSubKey), 0, nick.LstView_GetCount("Contacts"));
                    nick.LstView_SetItemText("Contacts", nick.LstView_GetCount("Contacts"), 0, nickname);
        }

You are trying to set the text of the next on in the list which doesn't exist yet.  After you use LstView_AddItem, in the next line the LstView_GetCount is increased by 1 and therefore doen't have the same index.  You can either minus one off of that in the SetItemText line, or you can just use the return value of the AddItem line and you should be fine.

Edit: also you don't need those last 2 parameters in the AddItem line as it will be added to the end of the list anyway and your itemData doesn't have any real purpose.

Minus 1 didn't work for some reason... Only about 5 or 6 contacts out of the list came up with the name... It's strange that they did when others didn't though. Using the returned index worked like a treat though Thanks. I couldn't understand because I've done this before somewhere.

LstView_AddItem returns the index of the added item. Use it!!!

code:

---

var Index = nick.LstView_AddItem(...);
nick.LstView_SetItemText(..., Index, ..., ...);
