TreeView Error

[JusGellin]

I found an example of a script that would access the local security settings msc to show how to do some of the treeview stuff. But when I do, it gives me the Microsoft error box stating it will shut down the msc. After I tell it not to send the info to MS, an error message box comes up and says "_WinAPI_ReadProcessMemory: Access Denied" then it closes the msc as well as Scite. What am I doing wrong because this should be possible to do. I have admin rights on this PC also. How can I make this work properly? Thanks

I think the GuiCtrl functions only apply to controls created in your own gui.

Thanks Martin. The example was supposed to be able to access external applications. Is there a better way that can successfully do that?

I don't know how to do what you want I'm afraid.

Maybe you could use MOuseClick to select the treeview, use Send to move down to the item you want. Home gets to the top, Down arrow to go down the list, Right arrow expands, LeftArrow collapses, then Tab to get to the list view then you can use ControlCommand.

You are not exactly right.

All native GuiCtrl functions are supposed to work with your own GUI controls (from your current GUI).

But all _GuiCtrl functions from standard include UDF are supposed to work also with external applications.
