Device Manager

[ucmerrill]

Hi All,

I found this very userful code within the forum. Please see below:

#Include <GuiTreeView.au3>

ShellExecute('devmgmt.msc')

WinWaitActive("Device Manager")

$hTree = ControlGetHandle("Device Manager", "", "[Class:SysTreeView32;Instance:1]")

$hItem = _GUICtrlTreeView_FindItem($hTree, "USB-to-Serial(com1)")

_GUICtrlTreeView_SelectItem($hTree, $hItem, $TVGN_CARET)

The part that has "USB-to-Serial(com1)") can change to USB-to-Serial(com4)") or some other com# .

My question is how do I do an instring or some other method to find a partial name like "USB-to-Serial" and then send the enter key if the name is found.

Any help will greately be appreciated.

_GuiCtrlTreeView_FindItem() will do a partial match, see the third parameter for the function in the help file.

Hi PsaltyDS,

Thanks for the reply and suggestion. Please see the below code on Line 5 "$hItem = _GUICtrlTreeView_FindItem($hTree[,$fInStr = "USB-to-Serial Comm Port"])"

I've tried to no avail. Can anyone assit or correct the below code. Any help will be greately appreciated. Thanks.

#Include <GuiTreeView.au3>

ShellExecute('devmgmt.msc')

WinWaitActive("Device Manager")

$hTree = ControlGetHandle("Device Manager", "", "[Class:SysTreeView32;Instance:1]")

$hItem = _GUICtrlTreeView_FindItem($hTree[,$fInStr = "USB-to-Serial Comm Port"])

_GUICtrlTreeView_SelectItem($hTree, $hItem, $TVGN_CARET)

; Focus treeview and Send Enter

ControlFocus("Device Manager", "", $hTree)

ControlSend("Device Manager", "", $hTree, "{ENTER}")

That is invalid syntax. You don't use the square brackets around the parameters. They are only used in the help file to indicate optional parameters. You also don't use the variable name of the parameter (i.e. "$fInStr"), just provide the value for it.

So that should be:

$hItem = _GUICtrlTreeView_FindItem($hTree, "USB-to-Serial Comm Port", True)

There is no way you passed that through the syntax checker and didn't get failures.
