PC is at login screen - _GUICtrlTreeView_SetSelected($hWnd, $hItem) is not successful


Recommended Posts

I have a script that works correctly when the PC is logged into but failes when the PC is at the login screen.

The command in question that is failing is 

_GUICtrlTreeView_SetSelected($hWnd, $hItem)

where I am selecting an item in a treeview.

This might not be surprising since hte control is behind the login screen. Is there a way to control the tree view directly?

I don't think that problem is in mentioned function.

I think that you incorectly obtained wrong (zero?) handle to treeview by using some function depending on active window which is wrong on locked station.

Show your code for getting treeview's hWnd ...

In my case, the user is logged and the station is locked.

It seems I have a valid handle to the treeview using

$IFMTreeView = ControlGetHandle($InfostoreTitle, "", "[CLASS:TreeViewWndClass; INSTANCE:2]")
 
and a call to 
 
$hWnd = _GUICtrlTreeView_GetCount($IFMTreeView)
 
retruns the correct count, in my case 3.
 
I try to select items in the tree using
 
if(_GUICtrlTreeView_SetSelected($hWnd, $hItem) = False) then Return False
if(_GUICtrlTreeView_SetFocused($hWnd, $hItem) = False) then Return False
if(_GUICtrlTreeView_ClickItem($hWnd, $hItem) = False) then Return False
(overkill)
 
Nothing is returned False
 
2015-04-13 12:14:27 : hWnd = 0x01EF03BC
2015-04-13 12:14:27 : hItem = 0x03CC1418
 
Where $hItem is obtained by 
 
$hItem = _GUICtrlTreeView_GetFirstItem($hWnd)
or
$hItem1 = _GUICtrlTreeView_GetFirstChild($IFMTreeView, $hItem)
 
 
This worked if the workstation is not locked.
 
If there isn't anything obviously wrong here, I will create a brief version that illustrates the problem.

In pulling together an example, I may have figured out the problem. It is the ClickItem function. I was advancing down a branch using SetSelected. Then clicking on the item to have it load data. THis is not working when the PC is locked.

There are Mousexxx functions in _GUICtrlTreeView_ClickItem() so this can't work on locked station

because it will click only on locked desktop and not on treeview which is hidden (overlapped) behind this desktop.

Func _GUICtrlTreeView_ClickItem($hWnd, $hItem, $sButton = "left", $bMove = False, $iClicks = 1, $iSpeed = 0)
    If Not IsHWnd($hWnd) Then $hWnd = GUICtrlGetHandle($hWnd)

    Local $tRect = _GUICtrlTreeView_DisplayRectEx($hWnd, $hItem, True)
    If @error Then Return SetError(@error, @error, 0)
    ; Always click on the left-most portion of the control, not the center.  A
    ; very wide control may be off-screen which means clicking on it's center
    ; will click outside the window.
    Local $tPoint = _WinAPI_PointFromRect($tRect, False)
    _WinAPI_ClientToScreen($hWnd, $tPoint)
    Local $iX, $iY
    _WinAPI_GetXYFromPoint($tPoint, $iX, $iY)
    Local $iMode = Opt("MouseCoordMode", 1)
    If Not $bMove Then
        Local $aPos = MouseGetPos()
        _WinAPI_ShowCursor(False)
        MouseClick($sButton, $iX, $iY, $iClicks, $iSpeed)
        MouseMove($aPos[0], $aPos[1], 0)
        _WinAPI_ShowCursor(True)
    Else
        MouseClick($sButton, $iX, $iY, $iClicks, $iSpeed)
    EndIf
    Opt("MouseCoordMode", $iMode)
    Return 1
EndFunc   ;==>_GUICtrlTreeView_ClickItem

If you need to simulate invoking some functions inside external application after click in its treeview then I would recommend to analyze internal messages/WM_COMMANDS sent by treeview after clicking. You can use utility WinSpector for this.

Then you can only select desired treeview item and then call _SendMessage() with apropriate command (WM_COMMAND?) ...

EDIT: Search this forum for WinSpector, this technique was discussed here already ...

Thanks. Will take a looks at Winspector. Since we control the source of the application I am trying to control, I have asked the the behavior of the treeview to make it easier to control but not sure If I will get much traction on that.
