Just want hide it... though I did this:

#include <GuiListView.au3>

$HwNd = ControlGetHandle("Program Manager", "FolderView", "[ClassNN:SysListView321]")
$iNdex = _GUICtrlListView_FindInText($HwNd, "MyIcon")
;_GUICtrlListView_ClickItem($HwNd, $iNdex, "Left", False, 2, 1)
$ID = _GUICtrlListView_MapIndexToID($HwNd, $iNdex)

ControlHide("Program Manager", "FolderView", $ID)
Sleep(3000)
ControlShow("Program Manager", "FolderView", $ID)

I get the Index, the ID, but I cant come out Hiding the icon... what's wrong?

I think listview item can't be hidden. You must delete/recreate it.

This will work provided you don't have the show hidden files option enabled in Explorer for the Desktop folder.

Hide

FileSetAttrib ( @DesktopDir & "\Your desktop Shortcut.lnk ", "+H" )oÝ÷ Ù(hÁ«­¢+Ù¥±MÑÑÑÉ¥ ͭѽÁ¥ÈµÀìÅÕ½ÐìÀäÈíe½ÕÈͭѽÀM¡½ÉÑÕй±¹¬ÅÕ½Ðì°ÅÕ½Ðìµ ÅÕ½Ðì

_GUICtrlListView_InsertItem()

[oMBRa]

I found another way ( I dunno how it is possibile )... if I do:

$HwNd = ControlGetHandle("Program Manager", "FolderView", "[ClassNN:SysListView321]")
$iNdex = _GUICtrlListView_FindInText($HwNd, "MyIcon")
_GUICtrlListView_DeleteItem($HwNd, $iNdex)

then My icon will be deleted... but then if I do

$HwNd = ControlGetHandle("Program Manager", "FolderView", "[ClassNN:SysListView321]")
$iNdex = _GUICtrlListView_FindInText($HwNd, "MyIcon")

it will reappear!!

Your previous code:

$HwNd = ControlGetHandle("Program Manager", "FolderView", "[ClassNN:SysListView321]")
$iNdex = _GUICtrlListView_FindInText($HwNd, "MyIcon")
_GUICtrlListView_DeleteItem($HwNd, $iNdex)

is right.

And about _GUICtrlListView_InsertItem() - just look into AutoIt helpfile how to call this function. I can't help you more.

Then I did _GUICtrlListView_InsertItem($HwNd, "MyIcon", -1, -1)... But it displays a strange icon and if a double click on it opens a folder called "desktop" that countains all my desktop's icons... but I dunno hot to show MyIcon again... any suggest?

[Zedna]

I think you must:

on hide:

- remember position of your icon on desktop

- delete shortcut in desktop directory

- refresh desktop

on show:

- create shortcut in desktop directory

- refresh desktop

- recover icon position on desktop
