Need help getting text from ListView

[jjetx]

I'm new to Autoit and programming in general so if possible, please try to be newbie friendly with any explanations and examples. I like to figure things out on my own so I've been over the Helpfiles and I've Googled, but I've got nothing. Could someone tell me why _GUICtrlListView_GetItemText($listview, _GUICtrlListView_GetSelectedIndices($listview)) returns no value? Thank you.

jjetx,

Welcome to the AutoIt forum.

I too have had this problem in the past and found that forcing the return value into Number type usually solves the problem (it seems that the returned String type is not acceptable).

_GUICtrlListView_GetItemText($listview, Number(_GUICtrlListView_GetSelectedIndices($listview)))

Does it work for you?
