How to interact with checkboxes in listbox?

[Sunsawe]

Hi,

My script is made to interact with an external application that i didn't make.

This application has a GUI which is presenting a listbox in which every line has a checkbox on the left.

I succeeded to reach the lines, to select them but i can't figure out how to check the checkboxes.

With the AutoIt Window Info, i can just have information about the listbox. To reach the lines i am using Auto3Lib.

Does someone know how to do it?

Thank you

Try this forst to see if the keyboard can do it. Tab to the checkbox. Then press the spacebar. If that works you can do that, or do a controlclick to check it.

maybe figure LB_GETITEMDATA and SendMessage. and some LB_SETITEMDATA. but seems ptr return problem in DllCall. okey dokey - try spacebar. ~Jap

for test. listbox here

Run("control appwiz.cpl,,2")
WinWait("Windows Components")
Sleep(1000)
WinClose("Add or Remove")

I tried with the keyboard and it is working.

But if someone has a solution without the keyboard, i am interested.

I am not sure that i will always have keyboard access.

thanks
