Help needed selecting item in a SysListView32 window.

[amartin]

I'm hoping someone will be able to help me with a script I've written using AutoIt v3. While setting up a wireless connection I need to select a certificate authority from a list of trusted root certification authorities. To get to the list, open the Wireless Network Connection Properties, click Add, click on the Authentication tab, select Protected EAP (PEAP) as the EAP type then select the Properties button.

After clicking the Properties button the Protected EAP Properties window opens. In the middle of the window is the Trusted Root Certification Authorities box. The "AutoIt v3 Window Info" utility the class is listed as SysListView32 when I select the certification authorities box but no information is available as to the name of the individual check boxes. The certification authority I need is several entries down the list. I made my script work by having the script send Alt+R followed by several down arrow commands. This method will work provided the certification authority I need to select is always in the same position on the list. I would prefer to have the script look for certification authority by name.

With the possibility of the certification authority being in a different position on the list I've start a second script which would open a specified wireless connection (the connection name never changes and would be written into the script) and go to the Trusted Root Certification Authorities box for me to review. In writing this script I ran into the same issue where I have to make a selection from a SysListView32 box. In this instance it's the Preferred networks box on the Wireless Networks tab within the Wireless Network Connection Properties window.

Below is the part of my code to get to the certificate authorities window. Can any one suggest a way to select items ("workauth" in this example) by name from a SysListView32 box and possibly provide a code example? I'm hopeful that if I can get it working in this example I would then be able to apply it to the verification script. Then again if this can be made to select by name then I wouldn't need to do the verification script.

Thanks to everyone who takes the time to read this.

I had to add the three lines below above this line of code ($hListView = ControlGetHandle("Protected EAP Properties","","SysListView321")) to make it work, but then it worked like a charm.

WinWait("Protected EAP Properties")

WinActivate("Protected EAP Properties")

WinWaitActive("Protected EAP Properties")

Thank you for your help!
