Get macro to select correct option in list box

[hennes000]

Hi,

I'm trying to get autoit to choose a specific option from this titleless listbox. 

 

ie. I want the macro to select the CHEMISTRY2 option by pressing the up and down keys. 

Possibly by,

macro checking option currently highlighted.

if it is equal to CHEMISTRY2, press enter

if not press down

repeat

However I'm unsure of the coding as I'm new to autoit. All help will be much appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Were you focused on the control, or the window.  If window, get the output again, for the control.

#include <WinAPI.au3>
$hWin = WinGetHandle("The parent window title that opens that 'enabled popup'")
$hPopup = _WinAPI_GetWindow($hWin,6)
$hControl_List = ControlGetHandle($hPopup,"","you need to provide more info to get the control")
$hControl_Button = ControlGetHandle($hPopup,"","[TEXT:&OK]")

WinActivate($hPopup)
ControlFocus($hPopup,"",$hControl_List)
ControlCommand($hPopup,"",$hControl_List,"SelectString", 'whatever you want to select in list')

ControlFocus($hPopup,"",$hControl_Button)
ControlClick($hPopup,"",$hControl_Button)

; plug in your parent window, and the value you want to set, and good to go

#include <WinAPI.au3>
$hWin = WinGetHandle("The parent window title that opens that 'enabled popup'")
$hPopup = _WinAPI_GetWindow($hWin,6)
$hControl_List = ControlGetHandle($hPopup,"",1011)
$hControl_Button = ControlGetHandle($hPopup,"","[TEXT:&OK]")

WinActivate($hPopup)
ControlFocus($hPopup,"",$hControl_List)
ControlCommand($hPopup,"",$hControl_List,"SelectString", 'whatever you want to select in list')

ControlFocus($hPopup,"",$hControl_Button)
ControlClick($hPopup,"",$hControl_Button)
