Control Click Item using a wildcard

[dubd83]

I am working on automating an application and need to be able to click on an item in a treeview. I can successfully select the item if I match the text perfectly but the problem is the text changes during each launch of the application. The end of the text takes on a date and state so the tail end of the control is always different. I am trying to figure out how to insert a wildcard so I can click on the treeview item regardless of what the date is.  The following code clicks on what I need but doesn't have a wildcard in it so it only works once.

$treeView_hnd = ControlGetHandle($title, "", $window)
$findItem = _GUICtrlTreeView_FindItem($treeView_hnd, "Scapa Test Trace - FullTest 20170530-090754")
_GUICtrlTreeView_ClickItem($treeView_hnd, $findItem)

I believe if you set the third parameter, $bInStr, you could search for your partial string.

Thanks for your response, I tried the following but still no luck. 

$treeView_hnd = ControlGetHandle($title, "", $window)
$findItem = _GUICtrlTreeView_FindItem($treeView_hnd, "Scapa Test Trace - FullTest 20170605-11403", $bInStr = True)
_GUICtrlTreeView_ClickItem($treeView_hnd, $findItem)

Update, I failed to realize that the variable didn't need to be in the actual code. The following code worked.

 

$treeView_hnd = ControlGetHandle($title, "", $window)
$findItem = _GUICtrlTreeView_FindItem($treeView_hnd, "Scapa Test Trace - FullTest", True)
_GUICtrlTreeView_ClickItem($treeView_hnd, $findItem)
