Getting List Element

[dumdum20008]

Hi,

Just started AutoIT...got Stuck at this.

Im trying to get Order Information from Main Window of an application.

Order List Pop up on F3 Hit in Main window.

Its working till getting number of Orders and number of Columns in Order list....but it dont get any particular element from Order list. For example im trying to print element of 3rd order and 8th column. But its printing blank even Order list is populated with text value at that element location. Where is bug..please guide

_GUICtrlListView_GetItem returns an array, the text is in $itemtext[3] in your code. You're trying to access it like its a simple variable. You could also use _GUICtrlListView_GetItemText to get it directly into a variable instead of an array.

I tried _GUICtrlListView_GetItemText , as you suggested...but no luck.

See pic, there are 4 orders....its getting correct...and also number of columns also counting correct to 21...but particular element ( here suppose to print "NSE" ) text is not getting printed. What im missing...?

Try using _GUICtlrListView_GetItemTextArray to see if the array contains what you're looking for. Also, if you are using this on an x64 OS, try running the script in 32 bit mode to see if that makes any difference.

Use _GUICtrlListView_GetItemTextString function. Then, use StringSplit function. Hope this solves this.

Its running on 32 bit.

I tried array alos...no change....getting blank as before.

Use _GUICtrlListView_GetItemTextString function. Then, use StringSplit function. Hope this solves this.

In this case im getting all 20 delimiter printed, like " | | | |.....| | |"....but no text.

Ok...here is script...but one can check only syntax etc....but without operating program one cant run it.

expandcollapse popup

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <GuiListView.au3>
#include <ListviewConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1)  ; Change to OnEvent mode
$mainwindow = GUICreate("Order Feeder", 300, 300)
GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "CLOSEClicked")
$checkorder = GUICtrlCreateButton("Check Order",70,80,80,30)
GUICtrlSetOnEvent($checkorder, "CheckOrder")
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
Global $hWindow = WinGetHandle("Some Title")
While 1
  Sleep(1000)  ; Idle around
WEnd
Func CheckOrder()

  WinActivate($hWindow)   ;Global Variable
     Send("{F3}")
  WinWaitActive($hwindow,"Orders Book - [All]")
  $hOrderList = ControlGetHandle($hWindow,"","[CLASS:SysListView32; INSTANCE:1]")
  $iOrderCnt = ControlListView($hWindow, "", $hOrderList,"GetItemCount")
  $iOrderColumnCnt = ControlListView($hWindow, "", $hOrderList,"GetSubItemCount")
  If $iOrderCnt = 0 Then
   ConsoleWrite("No Order Found")
   Else
   ControlListView($hWindow, "", $hOrderList,"DeSelect",0)
   ControlListView($hWindow, "", $hOrderList,"Select",2)
   _GUICtrlListView_SetItemFocused($hOrderList,2)
   $itemText = _GUICtrlListView_GetItemTextString($hOrderList,2)
  
   ConsoleWrite("No of Order :" & $iOrderCnt & @LF)
   ConsoleWrite("No of Column in Order List :" & $iOrderColumnCnt & @LF)
   ConsoleWrite("Order Instrument :" & $itemText & @LF)
  
  EndIf
  ControlSend($hWindow, "", $hOrderList,"{ESC}")
  EndFunc

  Func CLOSEClicked()
Exit
EndFunc

and here is output as usual....

I ran this script and used Task Manager as a replacement for your program, which obviously I don't have, and it ran just fine for me. Here's the output from Task Manager when I hit the button.

No of Order :43

No of Column in Order List :7

Order Instrument :AutoIt3Help.exe *32|4836|~~~~|00 |6,568 K|"F:PortableAutoIt3.3.8AppAutoIt3Help.exe" "TCPRecv"|AutoIt3Help viewer

This is from the Help File on Controls (and could be a possible reason you are having an issue with extracting text from the control):

Note: AutoIt only works with standard Microsoft controls - some applications write their own custom controls which may look like a standard MS control but may resist automation. Experiment!

It feels so to me also.

Getting more interaction with Order Form feeding.

Edit Box for price entries are giving mix results.

Send("some price to price edit box" ) is working..

but below pair working without setting price entry visible in price box of application.

_GUICtrlEdit_SetText($hPriceBox, "3")

$askprice = _GUICtrlEdit_GetText($hPriceBox)

ConsoleWrite("Ask Price :" & $askprice & @LF)

Price entry box of application is not changing its default price text....but output is showing changed text.

Ok i am getting unconfirmed clues that not getting elements text of List view might be due to ListView being Owner Draw type.

But if its the case then how its getting counts of Items and Subitems of list. Is any workaround if list is Owner Drawn type..?
