completed stucked on treeview

[sfresher]

For example, how can I automate this task?

Select tree System tools > Event viewer > Security. Right click on security, select "Clear all events".

Select tree System tools > Event viewer > Security

#include <GuiTreeView.au3>

$hTreeView = ControlGetHandle("Computer Management", "", "SysTreeView321")
$hItem = _GUICtrlTreeView_FindItemEx($hTreeView, "System Tools|Event Viewer|Security")
_GUICtrlTreeView_SelectItem($hTreeView, $hItem)

Thanks a lot! I am still having one question: What if the Computer Management windows has multiple treeviews? How can we get the handle for each of these treeviews? And how do we distinguish them?

#include <GuiTreeView.au3>

$hTreeView = ControlGetHandle("Computer Management", "", "SysTreeView321")
$hItem = _GUICtrlTreeView_FindItemEx($hTreeView, "System Tools|Event Viewer|Security")
_GUICtrlTreeView_SelectItem($hTreeView, $hItem)

You can examine them with AU3Info.exe to see what their CLASS and INSTANCE are, which combine to form ClassNameNN, i.e. "[CLASS:SysTreeView32; INSTANCE:1]" and "[CLASS:SysTreeView32; INSTANCE:2]" become "SysTreeView321" and "SysTreeView322".

There are more ways to specify a control. Look in the help file index at "Controls".

A new problem pops up: What if the tree item may dynamically change their name? Can I use a wildcard selection to select the tree item?

For example, System Tools > Event Viewer[%] > Security, where % maybe 01, 02, 03.

#include <GuiTreeView.au3>

$hTreeView = ControlGetHandle("Computer Management", "", "SysTreeView321")
$hItem = _GUICtrlTreeView_FindItemEx($hTreeView, "System Tools|Event Viewer|Security")
_GUICtrlTreeView_SelectItem($hTreeView, $hItem)

It's not a name, it's just text in the item. A TreeView item is referenced by index number and handle with the UDF functions and by a funky formatted string in the native ControlTreeView() functions. The code posted uses the UDF functions, which includes things like _GUICtrlTreeView_FindItem(). See the example posted there in the help file.

It does not allow wildcards. So you would have to code a recursive search using things like _GUICtrlTreeView_GetChildCount(), _GUICtrlTreeView_GetFirstChild(), _GUICtrlTreeView_GetNextChild(), _GUICtrlTreeView_GetText().

Thanks a lot, PsaltyDS. You have answered quite a few numbers of my questions and kind of enlightened my programming experience with AutoIt.
