screen scraping from listviews

[Brickoneer]

I want to make an app that automates another app... but most of the data in the base application is represented in a listview. How can I "get into" the listview to 'read' its data? The wininfo tool gets me the control ID of the listview, but thats as far as I got.

I've never had to deal with listviews before. Ugh.

Anyway, thanks for your help!

You can start by providing the name of the app.

Look at the _GUICtrlListView_* functions. They can be used for more then just AutoIt made GUI's...

Hi! Example:

#include <GuiListView.au3>

Send("#e")

WinWait("[Class:ExploreWClass]")

$hListView = ControlGetHandle("[Class:ExploreWClass]", "", "SysListView321")

$ItemCount = _GUICtrlListView_GetItemCount($hListView)

For $i = 0 To $ItemCount - 1
    ConsoleWrite("+> " & _GUICtrlListView_GetItemText($hListView, $i) & @LF)
Next

Ah, thanks guys!

I haven't gotten the latest version of autoit yet, I'm still using 3.2.8, so I didn't have the GuiListView.

You can start by providing the name of the app.

I didn't name the application because it isn't a publicly used application. No point.

Thanks again!
