Controlling check boxes inside SysListView via AutoItX?

[jmc 0]

I need to find all that are checked boxes and uncheck them and apply the change and 'DoMyStuff'.

Next I'll need to go thru all the checkboxes and toggle them, applying the change each time and 'DoMyThing'

From various testing and reading, it seems there no quick way to do this. So my general plan of attack is:

Get control positions using AU3_ControlGetPos functions.

GetItemCount using AU3_ControlListView .

For each item //uncheck all

{

using position and pixel function to determine if it's check box.

Then using position and pixel function to determine if it's check-marked, if so use AU3_ControlClick to un-checkmark it.

}

Apply changes.

'DoMyStuff'

For each item //toggle each

{

using position and pixel function to determine if it's check box, if so use AU3_ControlClick to checkmark it. Remember this position.

Apply changes.

'DoMyThing'

Using the remembered positions with AU3_ControlClick, un-checkmark it

Apply changes.

}

Since the number of items may vary, I will also have to take into consideration scrolling.

Question is: is this the best way to do it? ie are my on the right track, or totally out to lunch?
