Open windows explorer with items already highlighted

[MattHiggs]

Hello all.  So, I am modifying a script I wrote a long time ago which cleans up duplicate files and assists in removing out of date files in a user's downloads folder (determines if a file is a duplicate or different version of same file based on whether "(n)" is in the file name where "n" is a digit).  The script has a gui that populates a list view control with the duplicate items in the users downloads folder, and one of the features I am trying to implement is to integrate a context menu item for the list view items which would open windows explorer with the list view item already highlighted in windows explorer.  I did some research and found this method on how to accomplish that, it does work when running the command from the windows run prompt.  It also works when used in a simple autoit script:

$text = FileOpenDialog ( "Select a file", "", "All (*.*)", 3 )
If StringIsSpace ( $text ) Then
    Exit
EndIf

Run ( 'explorer.exe /select,"' & $text & '"' )

However, for the life of me, I can not get the above code to work when it is run in response to a GUI event.  When I attempt to run the above code in response to a context menu control event, it crashes windows explorer:

Below is the code for the script that I am working on:

The attached zip also contains the script (named "cleanup_downloads), along with any autoit udfs that are not included in the base autoit installation.  The offending menu item action definition is for $menuitem2 located on lines 268-280.  I would really appreciate it if someone could help me understand why the very first snippette of code I included in this post works when run by itself, but when run as part of my script, it causes windows explorer to close and restart.  Thank you in advance.

I have made good experiences with this excellent UDF by @LarsJ, maybe give it a try.

Have you tried with _WinAPI_ShellOpenFolderAndSelectItems?

[MattHiggs]

@ahmetAhh.  I have not.  That looks promissing though.  I will take a look at it.  Thanks.  @KaFu I will take a look at yours if the @ahmet's suggestion does not work.  Thanks to both of you.
