[Solved] Access TreeView Control of existing GUI

[Trolleule]

Hey,

i'm building a "Jump To" registry key function and trying to get access to the regedit treeview control like this:

expandcollapse popup

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
#include <GuiTreeView.au3>
#include <TreeViewConstants.au3>
#include <SendMessage.au3>
#include <WinAPI.au3>


Global $h_item

ShellExecute("regedit.exe")
;~ Local $pid = ProcessExists("regedit.exe")

;~ If $pid Then
;~  $h_tree = WinHandFromPID($pid, "[CLASS:RegEdit_RegEdit]")
;~  WinActivate("[CLASS:RegEdit_RegEdit]", "")
;~ EndIf

WinWaitActive("[CLASS:RegEdit_RegEdit]", "")
;~ WinActivate("[CLASS:RegEdit_RegEdit]", "")
;~ WinSetState("[CLASS:RegEdit_RegEdit]", "", @SW_SHOW) ; activate
;~ WinSetState("[CLASS:RegEdit_RegEdit]", "", @SW_RESTORE) ; activate
;~ WinSetState("[CLASS:RegEdit_RegEdit]", "", @SW_RESTORE) ; activate

$h_tree = WinGetHandle("[CLASS:RegEdit_RegEdit]", "")
;~ $ret = _WinAPI_ShowWindow($h_tree, @SW_RESTORE)

$ctrl = ControlGetHandle($h_tree, "", "[CLASS:SysTreeView32]")

ConsoleWrite("$h_tree: " & $h_tree & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite("$ctrl: " & $ctrl & @CRLF)

$show = GUICtrlCreateButton("Show", 70, 180, 70, 20)

Show()


;~ While 1
;~  Sleep(200)
;~ WEnd


Func Show()
    $result = ""

    _SendMessage($ctrl, $WM_SETFOCUS, 0, 0)
    If @error Then ConsoleWrite("error" & @CRLF)


    $h_item = _SendMessage($ctrl, $TVM_GETNEXTITEM, $TVGN_ROOT, 0)

    $split = StringSplit("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders", "\")
    For $i=1 To $split[0]

        ConsoleWrite("item bevor findkey: " & $h_item & @CRLF)

        $h_item = FindKey($h_item, $split[$i])
        If $h_item = 0 Then Return
        _SendMessage($ctrl, $TVM_SELECTITEM, 0x0009, $h_item)

        ; expand tree
        _GUICtrlTreeView_Expand($ctrl, $h_item)

    Next

    MsgBox(0, "dsfsdf", "sdfsf")
    Exit
EndFunc


Func FindKey($hItemParent, $sKey)

    $h_item = _SendMessage($ctrl, $TVM_GETNEXTITEM, $TVGN_CHILD, $hItemParent)
    ConsoleWrite("child : " & $h_item & " key: " & $sKey & " parent: " & $hItemParent & " parent text: " & _GUICtrlTreeView_GetText($ctrl, $hItemParent) & @CRLF)

    While $h_item <> 0
        Local $sItemText = _GUICtrlTreeView_GetText($ctrl, $h_item)
        ConsoleWrite("text : " & $sItemText & @CRLF)
        If $sItemText = $sKey Then Return $h_item

        $h_item = _SendMessage($ctrl, $TVM_GETNEXTITEM, $TVGN_NEXT, $h_item)
        ConsoleWrite("next : " & $h_item & @CRLF)
    WEnd
    ConsoleWrite("not found" & @CRLF)
    Return 0

EndFunc

WinActivate("[CLASS:RegEdit_RegEdit]")
WinWaitActive("[CLASS:RegEdit_RegEdit]", "")

See if that helps.

It doesn't work. But i was wondering why the item handle looks much longer in this case, so i added

#AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64=y

and now it works and i not really know why. It's like an inspiration
