Detect selected file

[memerim]

Is possible detect a selected file in desktop? I mean selected (when you only click but not open)

If yes, someone could give me a example?

@Bilgus thank you for the link, I've tested all scripts there and here:

But still don't managed to make it work, what im trying is get the name or path of selected file on desktop.

P.S Using win7x64

Here one way to do it :

if not @AutoItX64 and @OSArch = "X64" then Exit MsgBox (0,"Error","This script only works when run in 64bits")

MsgBox (0,"","Select Desktop Icons")

Local $sSel = ControlListView ("[CLASS:Progman]", "", 1, "GetSelected", 1)
Local $aSel = StringSplit ($sSel,"|")

Local $sList = ""
For $i = 1 to $aSel[0]
  $sList &= ControlListView ("[CLASS:Progman]", "", 1, "GetText", $aSel[$i]) & @CRLF
Next
MsgBox (0,$aSel[0] & " items",$sList)

It is also possible to use _GUICtrlListView_* to do the same thing if you need more versatility...

This is what pop up when i have something selected and run the script:

Edit: I compiled it as x64 then it displayed correct item selected.

How can i compare the value from $sList ?

If $sList = "XVI32.exe" Then
;
Endif

I have tried this but seens not getting the right value from $sList.

$sList contains @CRLF, so use $sSel instead, it will work as long as you have only one item selected.  My script allows multiple items selection.  If you want to change that behavior look help file : ControlListView   option parameter.
