System Properties Settings

Send("#{Pause}")

WinWaitActive("System Properties")

Send("{RIGHT 3}")

Send("!s")

WinWaitActive("Performance Options")

Send("{TAB}")

I just want to be able to uncheck certain options. I could just check "Adjust for best performance" and then re-check the options I want, but is there a way to do a specific uncheck? Or do I have to use the spacebar?

Please write back soon.

Hmm...

This should be a good time to use the GuiTreeView.au3 UDF, but I hit a snag:

; Assumes the Performance Options dialog is already open...

#include <GuiTreeView.au3>

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 4)

; Find window
WinWait("[CLASS:#32770; TITLE:Performance Options]")
$hWin = WinGetHandle("[CLASS:#32770; TITLE:Performance Options]")
WinActivate($hWin)
WinWaitActive($hWin)

; Find control
$hSysTV = ControlGetHandle($hWin, "", "[CLASS:SysTreeView32; INSTANCE:1]")
$iItemCount = _GUICtrlTreeView_GetCount($hSysTV)
ConsoleWrite("Debug: $hWin = " & $hWin & "  $hSysTV = " & $hSysTV & "  $iItemCount = " & $iItemCount & @LF)

; List items
$hItem = _GUICtrlTreeView_GetFirstItem($hSysTV)
For $n = 0 To $iItemCount - 1
    $sText = _GUICtrlTreeView_GetText($hSysTV, $hItem)
    $boolChecked = _GUICtrlTreeView_GetChecked($hSysTV, $hItem)
    ConsoleWrite("Debug:  Index: " & $n & "  Handle: " & $hItem & "  Text: " & $sText & "  Checked: " & $boolChecked & @LF)
    $hItem = _GUICtrlTreeView_GetNext($hSysTV, $hItem)
Next

It seems to work, but I get False back for every call to _GuiCtrlTreeView_GetChecked():

So I can list the items and get handles to them, but checking their state and changing it doesn't work yet...

I asked GaryFrost about the checkboxes, and that GUI appears to be a custom job with non-standard checkboxes (or maybe just graphics instead of checkboxes). If they are graphics, you can use the UDF to check those, just a different way, so I'm going to experiment some more...

Just change it in the registry:

Good point. But this SysTreeView32 control has ticked me off and won't escape that easily!

Thank you weaponx for your input, but that link didn't really help too much. I want to disable certain boxes, not all of them. I thank everyone else for their help so far. I suppose the worst case scenario is that I set it to best performance and then go into the check box section and check the ones that I do want. If anyone can figure it out though, AWESOME. Thank you to everyone.

Didn't get it with _GUICtrlTreeView_GetStateImageIndex(). The index is 0 every time.

Worse, I tried to get the selected states with this:

; List items
$hItem = _GUICtrlTreeView_GetFirstItem($hSysTV)
For $n = 0 To $iItemCount - 1
    $sText = _GUICtrlTreeView_GetText($hSysTV, $hItem)
    $iSelected = _GUICtrlTreeView_GetSelected($hSysTV, $hItem)
    ConsoleWrite("Debug:  Index: " & $n & "  Handle: " & $hItem & "  Text: " & $sText & "  Selected: " & $iSelected & @LF)
    $hItem = _GUICtrlTreeView_GetNext($hSysTV, $hItem)
Next

It crashed AutoIt:

AppName: rundll32.exe    AppVer: 5.1.2600.2180   ModName: comctl32.dll

And generated a Dr. Watson error:

OK, we must admit that, despite his advancing years, Gary is FAST!
