Aargh! Unable to access Treeview Items

[md9]

Hi all,

I am posting this in GUI Support group to see if someone has a smart solution.

I have a tree control in a window (Example: with a handle 0x0007068A,) and when I open up the tree node, all the children have the same handle. Which makes it difficult to capture individual items, Also using _GUICtrlTreeView_GetChildCount on this node would result in -1. Only thing that changes is the mouse coordinates when I check using AUTO IT Window Info.

Did someone face this issue before, Is there a work around? none of the API call work without a windows handle. Any help is going to be very helpful.

Is this a treeview in a GUI you created or an external app? If it's an external app can you tell us which one? Show us your code as well.

Some of the commands require the handle to the control, and not the window, so make sure you are using the right handle. It's not clear from your post whether you've made that distinction. Also, the items in the treeview will not have seperate handles, which is what it sounds like you are looking for. You get the handle to the control itself, and the contents of the control are generally manipulated by item index.

1) Creating two topics for the same question is not necessary.

2) Window handle and treeitem "handle" operate in different contexts. A window is not a treeitem, and treeitem is not a window. You cannot expect things to work by using one instead of another wherever it pleases you.
