get text of list items from existing GUI

[Sandy89]

Hello all,

I have seen many solutions to get text of list items from GUI. but I need a solution to retrieve text of list items from an existing GUI, not from a newly created one. 

there is no definite control ID or handle for each items.

I was using navigation keys to select the list item which is not reliable. Somebody please help!

@Sandy89 that is nowhere near enough information. What is the application, what kind of control is the text in, what does the text look like (screenshot of the GUI). Help us help you.

I want to select "CCP" option. but sometime there would be more options so drop down will not do the work. screenshot is attached.

also in other case, the text which I want to read is in the drop down menu. always it will changes the position, so I want to read the text and if it matches the one which I want to click, it has to be clicked.

I have used CUIautomation.au3 in one case, even though it is selecting correct coordinates it fails due to the coordinates similarities in 2 places within same class.

in other case, the text of the list item is not visible so CUIautomation.au3 couldn't do its magic.

I tried using image recognition as well, but when screen varies, it fails to select the image.
