gridlist problem

[Tox]

hi there, i'm having a problem with gridlist. hope you can help. i want to order lists by column but it starts on the next row every different column and it shows something like this;

here's my part of code;

  
  
local wepsTbl = { 
    --wep name, wep id 
    [1] = {{"Deagle", 24}, {"Pistol",22},{"Silenced",23}}, 
    [2] = {{"Shotgun",25}, {"Spaz-12",27}, {"Sawed-off",26}}, 
    [3] = {{"Uzi",28},{"Tec-9",32},{"MP5",29}}, 
    [4] = {{"M4",31},{"AK47",30}}, 
    [5] = {{"Country Rifle",33}, {"Sniper Rifle",34}}, 
    [6] = {{"RPG",35},{"Heat-Seaking RPG",36},{"Flamethrower",37},{"Minigun",38},{"Purple Dildo",10},{"Short Dildo",11}, {"Vibrator",12}, {"Flowers",14}, {"Cane",15}}, 
    [7] = {{"Golf Club",2},{"Nightstick",3},{"Knife",4},{"Baseball Bat",5},{"Shovel",6},{"Pool Cue",7},{"Katana",8},{"Chainsaw",9}} 
} 
  
    for k,_ in ipairs (wepsTbl) do 
            for __,val in ipairs (wepsTbl[k]) do  
                local wepRow = guiGridListAddRow (wepGrid) 
                guiGridListSetItemText (wepGrid,wepRow,k,val[1],false,false) 
                guiGridListSetItemData (wepGrid,wepRow,k,val[2]) 
                outputChatBox(wepRow) 
            end  
    end

Define the column ID for each category, then add the rows to only that category.

Define the column ID for each category, then add the rows to only that category.

so you mean, i should do it without a loop? e.g rowHandgun = ... rowShotgun = ...

You have to use guiGridListSetSelectionMode.

I've redesigned your table, it's easier to edit this way.

By the way, I created a grid list for testing, it's part of the code, you should remove it and apply the selection mode to your grid list.

local wepsTbl = 
    { 
        { 
            category = "Handguns", 
            weapons = 
                { 
                    { name = "Deagle", id = 24 }, 
                    { name = "Pistol", id = 22 }, 
                    { name = "Silenced", id = 23 } 
                } 
        }, 
  
        { 
            category = "Shotguns", 
            weapons = 
                { 
                    { name = "Shotgun", id = 25 }, 
                    { name = "Spaz-12", id = 27 }, 
                    { name = "Sawed-off", id = 26 } 
                } 
        }, 
  
        { 
            category = "SMG", 
            weapons = 
                { 
                    { name = "Uzi", id = 28 }, 
                    { name = "Tec-9", id = 32 }, 
                    { name = "MP5", id = 29 }

                    { name = "Country Rifle", id = 33 }, 
                    { name = "Sniper Rifle", id = 34 } 
                }

                    { name = "Chainsaw", id = 9 } 
                } 
        } 
    } 
  
wepGrid = guiCreateGridList(0.32, 0.25, 0.30, 0.27, true) -- TEST GRID LIST 
guiGridListSetSelectionMode ( wepGrid, 2 )

much appreciated, thanks a lot. guess the problem was defining rows

btw, i couldn't find a way to insert row 0 now this is a new problem //edit:fixed
