Select string from listbox - (Moved)

[Yodavish]

Hello barely novice user for Autoit here. I'm trying to select an item (called "Dictated in Dragon") in a listbox from a 3rd party app and eventually within the same window click on a button to close this window, however, all my attempts have failed to do so. This is the code I have currently that stops at selecting the item first.

 

$hWindow = WinGetHandle("Insert Audio Normal - Double Click or Press Enter to Select.")
$hControl = ControlGetHandle($hWindow, "", "[CLASS:WindowsForms10.LISTBOX.app.0.33c0d9d; INSTANCE:1]")
ControlCommand($hWindow, "", $hControl, "SelectString", "Dictated in Dragon")

 

And below is Summary of the AutoIt Window Info of the window I'm trying to select the item from:

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!

Make sure all the functions return a valid handle, otherwise you have a bunch of instructions which you don't know if they're stuck somewhere or just can't select that item in the ListBox

@FrancescoDiMuro Thanks for the suggestion, I did an "If @error Then MsgBox() exit..." behind both the WinGetHandle and ControlGetHandle and I'm failing on the "ControlGetHandle".  I've tried replacing the "controlID" portion with

"[CLASS: WindowsForms10.LISTBOX.app.0.33c0d9d; INSTANCE: 1]"

"[ID: 2363260]"

" [NAME:TemplateList]"

But it continues to fail on the control handle, I have the update code below:

 

$hWindow = WinGetHandle("[CLASS:WindowsForms10.Window.8.app.0.33c0d9d]")
        If @error Then
            MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "An error occurred when trying to retrieve the WINDOW handle of Fusion.")
            Exit
        EndIf
        consoleWrite('handle window: ' & $hWindow & @CRLF)
        $hControl = ControlGetHandle($hWindow, "", "[ID: 2363260]")
        If @error Then
            MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "An error occurred when trying to retrieve the CONTROL handle of Fusion.")
            Exit
        EndIf
        consoleWrite('handle control: ' & $hControl & @CRLF)
        ControlCommand($hWindow, "", $hControl, "SelectString", "Dictated in Dragon")

 

Any thoughts?

@Yodavish
Check the usage of ControlGetHandle with ID parameter; there's a space after ID, and you could just use the ID instead of using [ID:].
From the Help file:

Quote

e.g. Click on control ID 254 in "My Window"

ControlClick("My Window", "", "[ID:254]")

or

ControlClick("My Window", "", 254)

[Yodavish]

@FrancescoDiMuroI tired that as well removing the space, the listbox changes ID as well. Since there is code before it that opens the window that contains the listbox, I suppose the "ID" wouldn't be very consistent.

[Yodavish]

@FrancescoDiMuro Ran out of ideas, so I tried to force by sending it keystrokes

Send("{TAB}")
Send("{TAB}")
Send("{TAB}")
Send("{TAB}")
Send("{d}")
Send("{Enter}")

This does the trick.

@Yodavish
If you are still interested in automating this application without Send() function, you should download UIASpy and try to use UIAutomation.
In that case, you'll probably have more information and more ways to automate your application

@FrancescoDiMuro I'm not familiar with that, but I'll look into it.

Hi @Yodavish,

Does this work?

Global $g_hWnd = WinGetHandle('Insert Audio Normal - Double Click or Press Enter to Select.')
Global $g_iIndex = ControlCommand($g_hWnd, '', '[CLASS:WindowsForms10.LISTBOX.app.0.33c0d9d; INSTANCE:1]', 'FindString', 'Dictated in Dragon')
ControlCommand($g_hWnd, '', '[CLASS:WindowsForms10.LISTBOX.app.0.33c0d9d; INSTANCE:1]', 'SetCurrentSelection', $g_iIndex)
