_GUICtrlTreeView_GetText() unable to return different value

[rickywaive]

Hi, I'm trying to use the GUICtrlTreeView on an application to return the text of a certain section. What I've found is that the handle returned is not changing and it returns the same text everytime. the basic script is below, am I doing something wrong? I've tried multiple functionalities within the GUICtrlTreeView and everything seems to return same thing

thanks,

Ricky

WinActivate($Main_Title)

Sleep(200)

Local $hItem[10], $i = 0

$TreeView_Ctrl = ControlGetHandle($Main_Title, "", "[CLASS:WindowsForms10.SysTreeView32.app.0.2e0c681; INSTANCE:1]")

; Go down to Accessories

while 1

Local $test = _GUICtrlTreeView_GetText($TreeView_Ctrl)

MsgBox(0, "Test", "$test= " & $test)

if ($test == "Accessories") Then

MsgBox(0, "Test", "Exiting")

ExitLoop

EndIf

MsgBox(0, "Test", "check again")

Send("{DOWN}")

Sleep(200)

$test = _GUICtrlTreeView_GetNext($TreeView_Ctrl, $hItem[$i])

$i = $i + 1

WEnd

You are not using _GUICtrlTreeView_GetText() correctly. Add the item handle as the second parameter.

On getting the item handle, how do you expect $hItem[$i] to contain anything useful as a parameter in _GUICtrlTreeView_GetNext()? You declared the array and then never put anything in it.

How can I find what the item handle is? when using the AutoIT window info tool, my handle doesn't change for the values in the treeview. I can move down, but the active text doesn't change from the original returned value. So even if I use _GUICtrlTreeView_GetText($TreeView_Ctrl)

after changing the highlighted item, the text returned is still the top level text

thanks,

AU3Info only returns the handle of the parent control, not the items. The items have their own handles. Changing the highlighted item is irrelevant because _GUICtrlTreeView_GetText() does not use the current selection for anything. If you don't specify the item, you get the first item by default every time.

Or, keep doing it your way and we'll see how that works out for you...
