ControlTreeView is not working properly

[kcvinu]

Hi all,

I am experimenting with ControlTreeView function. But when i try this code, it is not doing anything.

ControlTreeView("PhraseExpress Freeware v10.5.41f","",132066,"Select","PhraseExpress|Ahat|#3")

Please see this image. I have use "WinActivate" function before this code. But no way.

What's not working? Where's the code that shows it not working, I see one line of code with absolutely no explanation? What is 132066? Is that a control ID, a control handle, what does it represent on the GUI?

[kcvinu]

I have write code for activating Phrase express window and then selecting an item from this treeview(see image.) So i am expecting the result as a selection. But nothing is selected after the execution.  And 132066 is the control id of this treeview.

Put the control id in quotes......."[ID:132066]"

Starstar,

If you are going to make suggestions, at least make them sensible - since when have ControlIDs of any sort been strings?

From the Help file:

ID - The internal control ID. The Control ID is the internal numeric identifier that windows gives to each control

​O>K....Now is it fine......????

[Melba23]

Starstar,

Much better - although you might as well use the numeric value directly.

@Melba does the ControlID change automatically after a system restart ?. I have experienced so. Last day control ID was 132066. But today the ID is 197582. 

[BrewManNH]

Use ControlGetHandle to get the handle to the control you need, handles change every time you run the script as a general rule. You don't have to use the numeric control ID of the control in the function, there are other ways of determining which control you want to get the handle from.

Thank you @BrewManNH Let me try. »»»

I am going to drop this project for 2 reasons.

1. Control ID is changing after system restart.

2. "Select", "Item" command in ControlTreeView function is not working properly.

​There is no need to discard.Keep it up every problem have a solution....If you are a hard-worker...

$ctrHndl = ControlGetHandle("Tilte".""."[CLASS:Your Class]")
ControlTreeView("PhraseExpress Freeware v10.5.41f","",$ctrHndl,"Select","PhraseExpress|Ahat|#3")

Try like this one.......

Thank you @Starstar for the encouragement.

@Starstar , Your code didn't work. After that i tried this, but didn't work. see this

Local $classlist = WinGetClassList("PhraseExpress Freeware v10.5.41f")
Local $ID = ControlGetHandle("PhraseExpress Freeware v10.5.41f","","[CLASS:TVirtualStringTree]")
Local $count = ControlTreeView("PhraseExpress Freeware v10.5.41f","",$ID,"GetItemCount","PhraseExpress|Ahat" )

From the helpfile: ControlTreeView sends a command to a TreeView32 control. Are you sure this is a TreeView32 control?

​Commands like "GetItemCount, GetText" are worked very well for this control. And it really looks like a treeview control.Please see the image in my first post. But "Basic Control Info" in Window Info Tool is empty. 

[LarsJ]

For a TreeView32 control the class name in AutoIt Window Info tool will be something like SysTreeView321 as in Windows Explorer left pane treeview control.

I'm pretty sure it's not a TreeView32 control. It's for this reason that ControlTreeView doesn't work. You can probably automate the treeview with the UI Automation framework.
