How to grab content of a List ?

[ultim]

Hi, i have some trouble with this simple script:

$Title = "[CLASS:WindowsForms10.window.8.app.0.378734a]"
$listview_test = "[CLASS:WindowsForms10.window.8.app.0.378734a4]"
$ItemsNo = ControlListView ($Title,"",$listview_test,"GetItemCount")
MsgBox(1,"Item Selected ", $ItemsNo)

The value returns 0 while there are actually 14 items in the list. What am i doing wrong?

Doesn't AutoIt work with the List view of Windows Forms?

Try it this way, and post what you get:

#Include <GuiListView.au3>

Global $Title = "[CLASS:WindowsForms10.window.8.app.0.378734a]"
Global $listview_test = "[CLASS:WindowsForms10.window.8.app.0.378734a4]"

Global $hWnd = WinGetHandle($Title)
ConsoleWrite("$hWnd = " & $hWnd & @LF)

Global $hLV = ControlGetHandle($hWnd, "", $listview_test)
ConsoleWrite("$hLV = " & $hLV & @LF)

Global $ItemsNo = _GUICtrlListView_GetItemCount($hLV)
ConsoleWrite("$ItemsNo = " & $ItemsNo & @LF)

Here is what i get from that script:

$hWnd = 0x00040916

$hLV =

$ItemsNo = 0

Is that "4" on the end of the control ID actually part of the class name, or an instance number? Maybe it was supposed to be:

"[CLASSNN:WindowsForms10.window.8.app.0.378734a4]"

Or:

"[CLASS:WindowsForms10.window.8.app.0.378734a; INSTANCE:4]"

It's indeed instance number 4, so i changed the code, getting the following output:

$hWnd = 0x00020A6E

$hLV = 0x00030A82

$ItemsNo = 0

But at the moment of running the script, there are actually 22 items in that list as i've counted by hand.

Well, a step closer. Got the window handle and the control handle. Which code did you use to get the count, ControlListView() or _GUICtrlListView_GetItemCount()?

[ultim]

#Include <GuiListView.au3>

Global $Title = "[CLASS:WindowsForms10.window.8.app.0.378734a]"
Global $listview_test = "[CLASS:WindowsForms10.window.8.app.0.378734a; INSTANCE:4]"

Global $hWnd = WinGetHandle($Title)
MsgBox(0, "Test", "$hWnd = " & $hWnd & @LF)

Global $hLV = ControlGetHandle($hWnd, "", $listview_test)
MsgBox(0, "Test", "$hLV = " & $hLV & @LF)


Global $ItemsNo = _GUICtrlListView_GetItemCount($hLV)
MsgBox(0, "Test", "$ItemsNo = " & $ItemsNo & @LF)

This code leads to:

$hWnd = 0x00020A6E

$hLV = 0x00030A82

$ItemsNo = 0

So that's the function _GUICtrlListView_GetItemCount()

Rats. That indicates it's not a Windows API ListView control, but rather a custom class that AutoIt isn't going to be able to do anything with.

I used to work with AutoHotkey, which didn't support it.

Then i moved to AutoIt for getting around this specific problem... so it seems this is going to be a dead end also
