Control handle for SysTreeView32


Recommended Posts

Hi Friends,

I want to expand and click on some items on a tree view control. The AutoIT window info tool identifies the control as [CLASS:SysTreeView32; INSTANCE:1] but I failed to get the control handle to use with GuiTreeView methods. 

Please see the code below. On execution it always fails with ControlGetHandle method.

Please help.

#RequireAdmin
#include <Process.au3>
#Include <GuiTreeView.au3>

;Execute group policy editor
If Not WinExists("Local Group Policy Editor") Then
    _RunDOS ( 'gpedit.msc') 
EndIf
WinwaitActive("Local Group Policy Editor")
sleep(500)
;Select 'Administartive Template' from the tree view
$nTreeView = ControlGetHandle ( "Local Group Policy Editor", "", "[CLASS:SysTreeView32; INSTANCE:1]" )
If @error = 0 Then MsgBox(0,"Error", "Couldn't get tree view control handle.")
ControlTreeView  ( "Local Group Policy Editor", "", "[CLASS:SysTreeView32; INSTANCE:1]" , "Expand", "#0" )
If @error = 0 Then MsgBox(0,"Error", "Couldn't expand tree view.")

@error = 0 means there was no error, and if the function fails the return is 0, and @error is set to something other than 0. Your error check is wrong for both ControlGetHandle and for ControlTreeview. 

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

I hereby grant any person the right to use any code I post, that I am the original author of, on the autoitscript.com forums, unless I've specifically stated otherwise in the code or the thread post. If you do use my code all I ask, as a courtesy, is to make note of where you got it from.

I'm extremely sorry for making such a stupid mistake and to post it here.  :(

Thank you so much for your help BrewManNH.

$nTreeView = ControlGetHandle ( "Local Group Policy Editor", "", "[CLASS:SysTreeView32; INSTANCE:1]" )
If @error <> 0 Then MsgBox(0,"Error", "Couldn't get tree view control handle.")
ControlTreeView  ( "Local Group Policy Editor", "", "[CLASS:SysTreeView32; INSTANCE:1]" , "Expand", "#0" )
If @error <> 0 Then MsgBox(0,"Error", "Couldn't expand tree view.")
