How to get an ListView item's rect from another window

How to get an ListView item's rect from another window?

I want to click an area inside list view item. and the listview may have an scroll bar, and I may need to click the item outside the view. so my step is:

1. scroll to the top,

2. get the item's rect, if any negative value returns, then, scroll to bottom, and get item's rect again.

3. click position

But the problem is I can't find any function to get the ListView item from another process's window.

Here is what I got from Autoit Window Info:

What do you mean by "rect"?

Edit: _WinAPI_GetClientRect may be helpful

Take a look in the help file, there are many _GUICtrlListView_* functions which enable to interact with an external list-view, unless it's an owner-drawn list-view which may complicate things.

Thanks! I've tried all _GUICtrlListView_functions, nothing works.:

;_GUICtrlListView_GetItemText(133470, 1) #133534 is handle of the listview

_GUICtrlListView_GetItemText(133470, 1, 1)

I don't know why, I'm sure it's not a owner-drawn listview since:

ControlListView($hWnd, "", "SysListView321", "GetText", $idx, 1) can get the correct text!!

Getting the handle is not the issue and you should not use a fix handle value but rather using ControlGetHandle('广告播放器', '', 'SysListView321') and then manipulate it's items using the _GUICtrlListView_* functions, like:

Dim $hListView = ControlGetHandle('广告播放器', '', 'SysListView321')

For $i = 0 To _GUICtrlListView_GetItemCount($hListView)-1
    ConsoleWrite(_GUICtrlListView_GetItemText(hListView, $i) & @LF)
Next

Or something...

Can you post all your source? Use the code tags too please

Thank you Authenticity: your code works! and thanks all you guys kindly help!

The problem is I was using a fix value as handle just like Authenticity said.
