ControlTreeView function issue - (Moved)

[DnyJadhav]

I am working on a task using AutoIT tool where I need to traverse through the tree structure of the Computer Management to one of the services(in this case it is CDB Services) and verify  message in information levels for that service.

Tree view is as Computer Management tool -> Computer Management(Local)->System Tools->Event Viewer->Application and Services logs->CDB service

 

I am trying with ControlTreeView function with ‘Select’ / 'Expand' command in the script.

Script as follow:

ShellExecute("compmgmt.msc")

ControlTreeView ("Computer Management", "",12785, "Select", "Computer Management(Local)|System Tools|Event Viewer|Applications and Services Logs|CDB Services")

Above script is not working.

Can someone please help..

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

This is working for me :

#RequireAdmin
#include <Constants.au3>

Opt ("MustDeclareVars", 1)

ShellExecute ("compmgmt.msc")
Local $hWnd = WinWaitActive ("[CLASS:MMCMainFrame]")
Local $hCtrl = ControlGetHandle ($hWnd, "", "SysTreeView321")
ControlTreeView ($hWnd, "", $hCtrl, "Expand", "#0|#0|#1")
Sleep (800)
ControlTreeView ($hWnd, "", $hCtrl, "Expand", "#0|#0|#1|#2")
Sleep (800)
ControlTreeView ($hWnd, "", $hCtrl, "Select", "#0|#0|#1|#2")
Sleep (800)
ControlTreeView ($hWnd, "", $hCtrl, "Select", "#0|#0|#1|#2|#2")

Thanks for your help. It is working.

Thanks for providing solutions using instances to traverse the tree structure and it is working fine.

I am trying to use labels instead of instances in control tree view but it is not working.

Below is the scripts

#RequireAdmin
#include <Constants.au3>
#include <GuiTreeView.au3>
#include <GuiConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>
#include <Array.au3>

Opt ("MustDeclareVars", 1)
ShellExecute ("compmgmt.msc")
Sleep(2000)
Local $hWnd =WinWaitActive ("[CLASS:MMCMainFrame]")
Local $hCtrl = ControlGetHandle ($hWnd, "", "SysTreeView321")
Sleep(2000)
ControlTreeView($hWnd, "", $hCtrl, "Expand", "Computer Management(Local)|System Tools|Event Viewer")
Sleep(2000)
ControlTreeView ($hWnd, "", $hCtrl, "Expand", "Computer Management(Local)|System Tools|Event Viewer|Applications and Services Logs")
Sleep(2000)
ControlTreeView ($hWnd, "", $hCtrl, "Select", "Computer Management(Local)|System Tools|Event Viewer|Applications and Services Logs")
Sleep(2000)
ControlTreeView ($hWnd, "", $hCtrl, "Select", "Computer Management(Local)|System Tools|Event Viewer|Applications and Services Logs|CDB Services")
Sleep(5000)
WinClose("Computer Management")

 

Could you please help me and let me know if I am doing it in a wrong way.

Thanks in advance for your help.

I have a french OS.  So I cannot replicate your code.  This is the main reason why I decided to use indexes.  Also if you miss one single character, like a space or anything else, it will not work.  I believe it must be your case.  To solve your problem you could request commands of "GetText" to ensure you got the proper naming of each labels. Put the names in the console then copy/paste them in your code.  Should work...

Thanks for your response.

I copied the path from visible text in AutoIt Window info and replaced '\' with '|' in then used in ControlTreeView command.

I also tried to display error after execution of below statement. It displayed error on the message box. 

ControlTreeView($hWnd, "", $hCtrl, "Expand", "Computer Management (Local)|System Tools|Event Viewer")
if @error Then
   MsgBox(4096, '', 'Error',2)
EndIf

Not able to find exact issue in the code.  Can you please let me know how we can debug code in autoIT. That will be a great help. 

Below is complete script:

#RequireAdmin
#include <Constants.au3>
#include <GuiTreeView.au3>
#include <GuiConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>
#include <Array.au3>

Opt ("MustDeclareVars", 1)
ShellExecute ("compmgmt.msc")
Sleep(2000)
Local $hWnd =WinWaitActive ("[CLASS:MMCMainFrame]")
Local $hCtrl = ControlGetHandle ($hWnd, "", "SysTreeView321")
Sleep(2000)

ControlTreeView($hWnd, "", $hCtrl, "Expand", "Computer Management (Local)|System Tools|Event Viewer")
if @error Then
   MsgBox(4096, '', 'Error',2)
EndIf

Sleep(2000)
ControlTreeView ($hWnd, "", $hCtrl, "Expand", "Computer Management (Local)|System Tools|Event Viewer|Applications and Services Logs")
Sleep(2000)
ControlTreeView ($hWnd, "", $hCtrl, "Select", "Computer Management (Local)|System Tools|Event Viewer|Applications and Services Logs")
Sleep(2000)
Local $sText = ControlTreeView ($hWnd, "", $hCtrl, "GetText", "Computer Management (Local)|System Tools|Event Viewer|Applications and Services Logs|CDB Services")
MsgBox(4096, '', $sText,2)
Sleep(5000)
WinClose("Computer Management")

When you post code, please, use this tool.

Why is it SO important to use labels instead of indexes ?

[DnyJadhav]

Apologies for posting script in plain text format. I will follow forum rule for posting the script. Thanks.

Actually, I need to verify if the CDB service is installed on the machine first.

If it is installed then I need to do validation on information messages under Level for CDB services.

As per my understanding index of CDB service can vary on machine to machine. If it is so then traversing tree structure using indexes will fail.

I see.  Well I checked and got also problem using labels.  Solution, it must be runned x64.  See ControlView remarks :

"As AutoIt is a 32-bit application some commands are not available when referencing a 64-bit application as Explorer when running on 64-bit Windows."

Thanks for the information.
