Code Examples

This example creates a gridlist filled with players names then check who has the letter "a" in their name, after it selects everyone who has the letter "a" then it outputs the selected rows. TESTED!

gridlist = guiCreateGridList(100,100,200,100,false)
  guiGridListAddColumn(gridlist,"Players",0.50)
  for i,v in ipairs(getElementsByType("player"))do
    guiGridListSetItemText(gridlist,guiGridListAddRow(gridlist),1,getPlayerName(v),false,false)
  end
  for b=0, guiGridListGetRowCount(gridlist)do
    if(string.find(guiGridListGetItemText(gridlist,b,1),"a",1,true))then
      guiGridListSetSelectedItem(gridlist,b,1)
    end
  end
  outputChatBox("The number of Players with 'a' in their name: "..guiGridListGetSelectedCount(gridlist)..".")
