Silverlode Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Hi, I'm trying to find a string in a listbox and use if...then...else depending on whether an item is already in the listbox. But I'm having a hard time getting my script to recognize the string, even if it's there. I have a dialog called "Select Server" and am looking for a hostname in the listbox. It wasn't working so I created a MsgBox to view the return. It's always 0 no matter what: WinActivate("Select Server", "") $rtn00 = ControlCommand("Select Server", "", "ListBox1", "FindString", "slc05hcl") MsgBox(0, "rtn", $rtn00) As I understand it, if "slc05hcl" exists in ListBox1, then the 'occurrence ref' should be 1, right? I'm getting 0 every time no matter what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdelaney Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 (edited) Look in the helpfile, under _GUICtrlListBox_* More options with those functions.

Silverlode Posted March 18, 2014 Author Share Posted March 18, 2014 Thanks. I tried using _GUICtrlListBox_FindString and I STILL get a return of 0 even if the explicit string is not there (whereas I should get a return of -1). I can't explain this.

jdelaney Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 (edited) Are you passing a handle into the function? Show your work. Use ControlGetHandle's return in those functions. Also, output the data from the control tab of the window info tool, when focused on your control.

Instead, I get 0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdelaney Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Like I said, you need to pass in a handle, not the classNN to the _gui* functions. $hListBox = ControlGetHandle("Select Server", "",4240) $rtn00 = _GUICtrlListBox_SelectString ($hListBox, $hsfserver) IEbyXPATH-Grab IE DOM objects by XPATH IEscriptRecord-Makings of an IE script recorder ExcelFromXML-Create Excel docs without excel installed GetAllWindowControls-Output all control data on a given window.
