Find a control by ID and put all it's items in an array or list

[Sahar]

Is it possible that I click one row by knowing the text? for example I have lots of cases that we want to click on one record based on HeadCode, I don't like to use position;Now I have all the elements in array just needs to check if that item exists in array then click it then goes to next page, would you please help me about that?

Please check the help file for ControlListView (already used in your script) and look for "FindItem" and "Select".

I've tried 2 ways as are shown below but non of them worked!!

 

For $i = 0 To $iItemCount - 1
    Local $arg = $aHeadCode[$i]
    switch $arg
        case "1C01DB"
            MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", ControlListView($handle, "", "[Class:SysListView32; INSTANCE:1]", "FindItem", $i, 0)  ;First way
            _GUICtrlListView_SetItemSelected($arg, $i) ;Second way
            _GUICtrlListView_ClickItem($arg, $i)
    EndSwitch
Next

Now I have all the items in both array and ControlListView; should I use _GUICtrlListView for click item? I did not find anything for array or ControlListView that gives click functionality....

maybe ? :

For $i = 0 To $iItemCount - 1
    Local $arg = $aHeadCode[$i]
    switch $arg
        case "1C01DB"
            ;"FindItem", "string to find" [, SubItem]
            ;Returns the item index of the string. Returns -1 if the string is not found.
            $ControlListViewReturn = ControlListView($handle, "", "[Class:SysListView32; INSTANCE:1]", "FindItem", $arg)
            If $ControlListViewReturn = -1 Then
                Msgbox(0,"","Not Found")
            Else
                ; If found then select :
                ControlListView($handle, "", "[Class:SysListView32; INSTANCE:1]", "Select", $ControlListViewReturn)
                ; Clic on next page place
                ; ...
            EndIf
    EndSwitch
Next

Sahar,

I would do two things:

• Add some error checking so you get (and can post) more information about what goes wrong. What do the _GUICtrlListView* functions return?
• Post a small script that we can run (not just a function) so we exactly know what you coded and we can see what goes wrong and play with the script.

Thanks Synapsee,

It worked fine to select the item, now how should I click it?

 

[water]

Does pressing the "Return" or "Space" key do the same as clicking on the selected row?

[Sahar]

woww..Thanks Water for giving me the idea, I am selecting it by Enter

Send("{Enter}")

More secure would be to use ControlSend.
