Hi, I'm trying to get the text from ListBox (selected item) or item looped as the code above, as you can see from the attached file I only get 2 characters for each item, is this a bug or is there something else making it return those 2, GetTextLen seems to be working ok and reads the length.

Did you try _GUICtrlListBox_GetSelItemsText  ?

[smellyfingers]

Hi, yes i did try that also, no luck, just seems odd it can give just the 2 first letters and ignore and leave out the rest, it's my work computer by the way forgot to mention It's a Windows 7 64 bit version, could that be it perhaps? I'll get a coworker to try the script on their 32 bit Windows tomorrow when I'm back at the office.

Are you sure that this control is a Listbox ? on the picture it looks more like a Treeview

[smellyfingers]

Hi, thanx for the reply, yes it looks that way using the window info tool, but i agree it looks more like a treeview, i found another problem with this app itself when trying to automate it, it constantly changing the classnn names for the controls, is there a way to get the classnn names from it's id?, i think the id is the only thing that is permanent in this application...
