Embedded Check Boxes in ListView controls

[dem3tre]

I am trying to script a workaround for a problem we are having using IBM Access Connections v3.81 with distributed profiles. In order to do so, I need to be able to access the embedded check boxes within a ListView control.

A screen shot of the ListView control I'm interested in is attached as listbox.jpg.

A screen shot of the AU3Info output for this ListView is attached as auinfo.jpg.

Using ControlListView I can select/deselect the listview items but I cannot get the check boxes to toggle. I've looked at ControlCommand but since I don't have a ControlID for the checkboxes it doesn't seem to be applicable. I also tried using AU3Recorder and the AutoitMacroGenerator but they don't sense the checkbox or its toggling state either.

The only idea I have left to try is to simulate a doubleclick over the proper checkbox but that seems pretty spotty at best.

Is this even possible?

Thanks in advance.

From the latest beta:

Sets the checked state of a list-view control item

_GUICtrlListViewSetCheckState($h_listview, $i_index[, $i_check = 1])

For specifying the listview handle:

Retrieves the internal handle of a control.

ControlGetHandle ( "title", "text", controlID )

Hello.

I just downloaded the latest beta so that I could use this function.

Basically, I need to check a box in a list view.

When I attempt t execute the code with the beta version, I get this:

_GUICtrlListViewSetCheckState($h_listview, $listIndex, 1)

^ ERROR

Error: Unknown function name.

Any suggestions?

Have you tried the example in the help file ?

Make sure you running with beta

MsgBox(0,"Version",@AutoItVersion)

Thank you both for your fast replies.

I am certain I am running with the beta.

My problem was I forgot the includes (Realized that when I looked at the example)

Now the script runs without errors but it doesnt actully check the box in the list view.

My Code

$listIndex = ControlListView ("Protected EAP Properties", "", "SysListView321", "FindItem", "Thawte Server CA")

$h_listview = ControlGetHandle ( "Protected EAP Properties", "", "SysListView321" )

_GUICtrlListViewSetCheckState($h_listview, $listIndex)

The UDFs were written to be used with the AutoIt Controls, currently the external controls are not supported as of yet with the GUIListView UDFs.

I believe someone else wanted to do the same thing with an external control, but it was a while ago and I don't have time to search for the code in the forum.

I found the thread I belive you are reffering to (Here), but I couldnt figure out if it was ever respolved or not.

Thanks again for your help. I think I have a sutable workaround just sending keystrokes to the listview control.
