How to get selected items from ListBox (not listview)

[Myicq]

I would like to query an application about 3 checkboxes status. The Info tool tells me it's a listbox.

>>>> Control <<<<
Class:    ListBox
Instance:    1
ClassnameNN:    ListBox1
Name:    
Advanced (Class):    [CLASS:ListBox; INSTANCE:1]
ID:    1008

 

..but as far as I can see, only listView may have checkboxes on items ?

 

I can get a handle for the control: this returns no error.

    $listboxHandle = ControlGetHandle($winTitle, "", "[CLASS:ListBox; INSTANCE:1]")
    If @error = 1 Then
        ConsoleWrite("ERROR GETTING LISTBOX" & @CRLF)
    Else
        ConsoleWrite("Handle for listbox: " &  $listboxHandle & @CRLF)
    EndIf

 

But there is no way I can get it to read out correct status. Tried both with code for listbox and listview, no result.

Any suggestions ? Or do I simply have a non-native control here ?

There might be nested controls that Au3Info isn't detecting. Use WinSPY++. If you were lucky enough you would find the underlying windows that could be used to get the state of the checkbox.

BTW: which application are you using ?

Wow, that WinSpy is pretty detailed. Nice find.

@Phoenix: it's a label design software. I have a number of layouts I would like to re-purpose for other layout programs, so I need to get properties of the different text strings, as the dumb software has no export function other than previous versions of the same. And no API.

I will try the WinSpy++ as suggested. Thank you.
