ZO_PlayerInventoryBackpack methods

[Wukar]

According to my questions about adding an element to a ui, i am now stuck at updating the inventory/bank listing.

local backpack = ZO_PlayerInventoryBackpack
local invBackup = backpack.data
 
local function GetSingularName(name)
    for match in string.gmatch(name, "([^\^]+)") do
        return match
    end
 
    return ""
end
 
local function searchItem(editbox)
    local text = editbox:GetText()
    local filteredBackpack = {}
    local startIndex = 1
 
    for x, row in pairs(invBackup) do
        local bagId = row.data.bagId
        local slotIndex = row.data.slotIndex
        local itemName = GetSingularName(GetItemName(bagId, slotIndex))
 
        if (text == "" or string.match(itemName:lower(), text:lower())) then
            filteredBackpack[startIndex] = row
            startIndex = startIndex + 1
        end
    end
 
    backpack.data = filteredBackpack
end

That does work to some extend. But the inventory list is not updated or redrawn unless i scroll up and down. The scrollbar, however, still remains.

I need some of these not (well) documented miracle function calls, i guess

One could learn alot on what is possible and have a better overview of available functions.

I wonder if the standard UI is available in lua code?

It is, but right know you either

1) need to wait until Zenimax allows ESOUI (and other sources) to post it
2) Decompress it out game0000.dat
3) Get it somewhere else

You don't need to update constantly, right?

You might attach a handler to that search box that calls the update function for that list. What kind of handler... well I'll leave that up to you.

:OnTextChanged might be the most suitable for keystrokes.

Update method - interesting
Which update method on what list? Currently not ingame - i remember a data table, containing the currently visible inventory items.

Feel free to dig into my InventoryGridView mod and look at how I change the controls from list to grid. Specifically, look at the function that I hook in GridViewController.lua. You should be able to forcibly call GridViewController on ZO_PlayerInventoryBackpack after filtering your data to update the list. That won't fix your scroll bar, though.

I have managed to fix the scroll bar in IGV on my computer at home, but I'm at work right now and don't remember exactly what I did.
