How to get a ControlID from a treeviewitems HWND?

[dabus]

Yeah, this sounds a little strange. The reason is that I am creating a bigger script.

The main area consists of a treeview. Some items have additional informations.

These are stored in an array that is build at the startup of the application.

It looks like this:

ID Text Info HWND

1...A................0x1234

2...B................0x1235

3...C...... FOO...0x1236

So when I am above the the first two items, nothing happens. When I am above the third treeviewitem, it is selected and a popup shows FOO.

I currently do this by an idea that Siao came up with:

Func _TreeItemFromPoint($a)
    Local $tMPos = _WinAPI_GetMousePos(True, $a)
    Return _GUICtrlTreeView_HitTestItem($a, DllStructGetData($tMPos, 1), DllStructGetData($tMPos, 2))
EndFunc   ;==>_TreeItemFromPoint

This gives me the handle. To get the info, I loop through the stored HWNDs in the array. If Info is not "" then the popup appears. This works,but I would like to know if there is a better way to do this. (I'm sure there is ) I only want to switch the selection when a new info is shown to have a hint/connection that this info belongs to the selected/focused item. So Focusing and doing GUICtrlRead on the treeview is out.

Any thoughts?

Thx in advance.

You can't get the ID from a treeviewitems, which was created with _GUICtrlTreeView_* functions. Why you need this?

[dabus]

I don't create them with _GUICtrlTreeView_* but with internal functions.

; creation
$trees[$s][0] = GUICtrlCreateTreeViewItem($Setup[$s][1], $streeview)
; putting stuff into an array
$MsgTrans[$trees[$s][0]][0] = $Setup[$s][0]; current setup
$MsgTrans[$trees[$s][0]][1] = $TAG; tag
$MsgTrans[$trees[$s][0]][2] = '-'; tag as no component
;... and so on

; later I get a click and I know what's going on
$sMsg=GuiReadMsg()
ConsoleWrite('Setup ' & $MsgTrans[$sMsg][0] & ' was seleced' & @CRLF)

So there is a direct connection between the ControlID and the related informations in the $MsgTrans array.

If I hover over an item, I currently only know a way to get the handle.

That's why I store HWNDs in MsgTrans and loop through to find the information.

If it would be possible to convert them, the app would run faster since no search was needed.

Well in this case, getting the ControlID somehow would be enough.

If your using the internal GUICtrlCreateTreeViewItem() then use _GUICtrlTreeView_GetItemParam() to retrieve the control ID.

Still i don't understand what you need exactly ID? All operations you can process with handle.

expandcollapse popup

#include <GuiConstantsEx.au3>
#include <GuiTreeView.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

$Style = BitOR($TVS_HASBUTTONS, $TVS_FULLROWSELECT, $TVS_LINESATROOT, $TVS_DISABLEDRAGDROP, $TVS_SHOWSELALWAYS)

$hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 300, 300)

$hTreeView = _GUICtrlTreeView_Create($hGUI, 10, 10, 280, 280, $Style)

For $i = 1 To 10
    $hItem = _GUICtrlTreeView_Add($hTreeView, 0, "Item " & $i)
    
    For $j = 1 To 10
        _GUICtrlTreeView_AddChild($hTreeView, $hItem, "Child " & $j)
    Next
Next

GUIRegisterMsg($WM_NOTIFY, "WM_NOTIFY")

GUISetState()

Do
Until GUIGetMsg() = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

Func WM_NOTIFY($hWnd, $Msg, $wParam, $lParam)
    Local $tNMHDR, $hWndFrom, $iCode
    
    $tNMHDR = DllStructCreate($tagNMHDR, $lParam)
    $hWndFrom = DllStructGetData($tNMHDR, "hWndFrom")
    $iCode = DllStructGetData($tNMHDR, "Code")
    
    Switch $hWndFrom
        Case $hTreeView
            Switch $iCode
                Case $NM_SETCURSOR
                    Local $tPOINT = DllStructCreate("int X;int Y")
                    
                    DllStructSetData($tPOINT, "X", MouseGetPos(0))
                    DllStructSetData($tPOINT, "Y", MouseGetPos(1))
                    
                    DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "ScreenToClient", "hwnd", $hTreeView, "ptr", DllStructGetPtr($tPOINT))
                    
                    Local $iItem = _GUICtrlTreeView_HitTestItem($hTreeView, DllStructGetData($tPOINT, "X"), _
                                                                DllStructGetData($tPOINT, "Y"))
                    If $iItem <> 0 Then
                        _SendMessage($hTreeView, $TVM_SELECTITEM, $TVGN_CARET, $iItem)
                        ConsoleWrite("!> " & _GUICtrlTreeView_GetText($hTreeView, $iItem) & " is hovered" & @LF)
                    Else
                        _SendMessage($hTreeView, $TVM_SELECTITEM, $TVGN_CARET, 0)
                    EndIf
            EndSwitch
    EndSwitch
    
    Return $GUI_RUNDEFMSG
EndFunc

I'm not sure, this is more a question than an answer, but how about this:

#include <WinAPI.au3>

_Main()

Func _Main()
    Local $button
    GUICreate("test")
    $button = GUICtrlCreateButton("testing", 0, 0)
    MsgBox(4096, "ID","Control ID: " & $button & @crlf _
                    & "Control hWnd: " & GUICtrlGetHandle($button) & @crlf _
                    & "Control ID from hWnd: " & _WinAPI_GetDlgCtrlID(GUICtrlGetHandle($button)) & @crlf _
                    & "Control ID from hWnd (cleaned): " & number(_WinAPI_GetDlgCtrlID(GUICtrlGetHandle($button))))

smashly: That's exactly what I was searching for.

rasim: If you look at my example, you can see that I want to display a hint that is diffrent from the text. So I put these stuff into an array. Since the ControlID is a number, the corresponding values are found directly without a search. I currently store 12 values in this array. I don't want them to be displayed in the text of the TreeViewItem, but I need them for popups and other purposes later. So basicly, I just use the ID to find the items text, setup, type, ... to this item.

KaFu: This does not seem to work on TreeViewItems.

Thank you all for your time you spend to help me.
