selecting items in Set Default Programs


 Share

Recommended Posts

I've figure out how to select different items in the list using the index number, but the list isn't always the same from computer to computer.  Is it possible to select by name?  

This is what I have so far but isn't ideal to automate this process.

#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>
#include <GUIListView.au3>

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 4)

run("explorer.exe shell:::{17cd9488-1228-4b2f-88ce-4298e93e0966} -Microsoft.DefaultPrograms\pageDefaultProgram")
sleep(2500)

$hWnd = ControlGetHandle("Set Default Programs","","SysListView321")
;select 1st item in the list (regardless of what it is)
_GUICtrlListView_SetItemSelected($hWnd, 0)

;select 2nd item in the list (regardless of what it is)
_GUICtrlListView_SetItemSelected($hWnd, 1)

; run("explorer.exe shell:::{17cd9488-1228-4b2f-88ce-4298e93e0966} -Microsoft.DefaultPrograms\pageDefaultProgram")
ShellExecute("shell:::{17cd9488-1228-4b2f-88ce-4298e93e0966}")

Done. Next question, ... ;)

You seem to have missed the point of the OP's question. He is looking for a way to bring up the default programs list, and then select specific ones by text rather than index.
