[Shravani]

Hi, I tried to use control tree view but unable to click on the item of the tree view, I am new to AutoIT and its been a couple of days I am trying to use all commands related to click but the items do not get clicked. Here is my program.

#RequireAdmin
#Region
#AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64=n
#EndRegion
#include<msgboxconstants.au3>
#include <GuiTreeView.au3>
#include<string.au3>
Opt('WinTitleMatchMode', 2)

Local $aList = WinList()
    Local $hWnd = 0
    ; Loop through the array displaying only visable windows with a title.
    For $i = 1 To $aList[0][0]
        If $aList[$i][0] = "Select Processing to Perform" Then
            $hWnd = $aList[$i][1]
        EndIf
    Next

    If $hWnd Then
        MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "Window exists", 1)
    Else
        MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "Window does exists", 1)
    EndIf

    ;$sCtrlAdvMode = "[CLASS:SysTreeView32; INSTANCE:1]"
    $sCtrlAdvMode = "[ID:2070]"
    Local $hTree = ControlGetHandle($hWnd, "", $sCtrlAdvMode)
        MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Treeview handle",$hTree, 1)

    If $hTree Then
        MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "Tree exists", 1)
    Else
        MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "Tree doesnot exists")
    EndIf
    ;Sleep(2000)
    WinSetOnTop($hWnd, "", $sCtrlAdvMode)
    ;Sleep (1000)
    ;WinSetOnTop("Select Processing to Perform","Tree1", 1)
    Local $sControl = ControlFocus("Select Processing to Perform", "Tree1", "[CLASS:SysTreeView32; INSTANCE:1]")
    ;Local $sControl = ControlGetFocus($hWnd) ;   Display the control that has keyboard focus.
    If @error Then
        ConsoleWrite("ControlFocus = Error= " & $sControl &  @CRLF)
        Else
        ConsoleWrite("ControlFocus = No Error= " & $sControl &  @CRLF)
        EndIf

    Local $TreeCount = _GUICtrlTreeView_GetCount ($hTree)
        ConsoleWrite("Count of the items in tree view = " & $TreeCount  & @CRLF)

    Local $Ret = ControlTreeView($hWnd, "Tree1", "[CLASS:SysTreeView32; INSTANCE:1]", "Collapse" )
        ConsoleWrite("Collapse tree Item = " & $Ret & @CRLF)

    Local $Ret1 = ControlTreeView($hWnd, "", "[CLASS:SysTreeView32; INSTANCE:1]", "Select", "#3")
        ConsoleWrite("Select tree Item = " & $Ret1 & @CRLF)

    Local $Ret2 =_GUICtrlTreeView_GetText($hWnd, 2)
        ConsoleWrite("Get text = " & $Ret2 & @CRLF)

    Local $Ret3 = _GUICtrlTreeView_GetSelection($hWnd)
        ConsoleWrite("Focus= " & $Ret3 & @CRLF)

    Local $Ret4= _GUICtrlTreeView_ClickItem($hWnd, 2)
        ConsoleWrite("Click Item = " & $Ret4 & @CRLF)

    ;Local $sControl = ControlGetHandle ($hWnd, "", "Button2" )
        ;$sControl = ControlGetFocus($hWnd) ;   ; Display the control that has keyboard focus.

Moved to the appropriate forum, as the Developer General Discussion forum very clearly states:

General development and scripting discussions. If it's super geeky and you don't know where to put it - it's probably here.

Do not create AutoIt-related topics here, use the AutoIt General Help and Support or AutoIt Technical Discussion forums.

Checkboxes in treeviews (and listviews) are implemented as state images. Therefore you have to use techniques like demonstrated for a listview in this post to automate the checkboxes.

[Zedna]

LarsJ is right but if there are no problems you can use simpler method using:

_GUICtrlTreeView_FindItem() or _GUICtrlTreeView_FindItemEx() + 

_GUICtrlTreeView_SetChecked()

Dear All,

I have exactly the same problem for checking and unchecking TreeView (CLASS:SysTreeView32) checkboxes in an external application.

I tried four different methods I found so far in the forums but none of them worked.

1. ControlTreeView
2. _GUICtrlTreeView_SetChecked
3. _GUICtrlTreeView_SetStateImageIndex
4. ControlSysTreeView
5. Bonus (no luck with them)
   1. Tried with ControlSend - Hit Space key on the selected item
   2. Mouse click on the checkbox

Even though the application visually confirms that the checkbox is ticked, also when reading its state it says it is check. However, when executing the target application function related to the given child in the treeview, the app says there is nothing ticked.

If I do it manually then the application gets my tick. I could not get it Spyed what messages it requires to have the checkbox really ticked. 

I am executing the AutoIt app and the target App on Win10 x64. I made sure to use the 32-bit version of AutoIt.

Please find below a test code:

The output:

>"C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\SciTE\..\autoit3.exe" /ErrorStdOut "TreeViewCheckboxIssue.au3"    
ControlTreeView: Checked
_GUICtrlTreeView_SetChecked: Checked
_GUICtrlTreeView_SetStateImageIndex: Checked
ControlSysTreeView: False | False

Interesting to note that only the ControlSysTreeView returns false for asking "IsCheckbox" and "Check" command.

I would really appreciate any help to have it resolved.

Thank you,
