select an item from a "Class: DataTbl"

[ronald82]

Hello,

 

I have a datatable list with the below details and would like to know if a can click on an item searching by its name.

Id: 
Text: EditTable
Class: DataTbl

 

Thanks for the help

Yes you can. Read faq31 first and supply more info

[ronald82]

The is not a GUI created by autoit. It is an external program that there is a datatablelist and I want to select an item by its name so that i am sure that the same item is always selected.

 

Thanks

[ronald82]

any help please ?  I tried to read the FAQ31

We do not have enough information to really help you. Please provide a detailed description of the data source /application and what you are trying to achieve...

[junkew]

So reading faq is not enough. You tried simplespy¿ Inspect.exe? Au3inf?

So you made a base program that gives error? You have the hwnd and tree hierarchy of your datatbl.

Reread this thread and think about us as poor readers willing to help but without details no help can be given.

ControlType:    UIA_PaneControlTypeId

ExStyle:    0x00000101
Handle:    0x00000000000D0BA8

>>>> Control <<<<
Class:    DataTbl
Instance:    1
ClassnameNN:    DataTbl1
Name:    
Advanced (Class):    [CLASS:DataTbl; INSTANCE:1]

No, simplespy alone will give you a lot more data than that. Try again.

I answered in post 2 yes you can click on it and most likely in simplespy output you will find a property that contains the text to identify.

If you literally want to use name property answer is likely no as its empty.

Retry with simplespy and run code that simplespy gives.

After that read some of the threads @LarsJ made like.https://docs.uipath.com/studio/docs/managing-variables

Hi,

 

So maybe to give more details SWAPY managed to get the contents:

 

Access names : []
Class : ListBox
ClientRects : [<RECT L0, T0, R59, B13>]
ContextHelpID : 0
ControlCount : 0
ControlID : 8
ExStyle : 512
Fonts : [<LOGFONTW 'MS Sans Serif' -11>]
FriendlyClassName : ListBox
handle : 2034008
IsEnabled : True
IsUnicode : True
IsVisible : False
MenuItems : []
pwa_type : <class 'pywinauto.controls.win32_controls.ListBoxWrapper'>
Rectangle : (L346, T654, R428, B673)
SelectedIndices : (-1,)
Style : 1084228035
Texts : ['', u'Test1', u'Test2', u'Test3', u'Test4', u'Test5', u'ADDRESS_CAT1', u'ADDRESS_CAT2', u'ADDRESS_CAT3', u'ADDRESS_CAT4',"]
UserData : 0

 

Somehow SWAPY is getting a Class: Listbox while with control viewer I'm getting a CLASS:DataTbl

 

Is there a method I can get the text from auto it? I tried many function from _GUICtrlListBox_* to no avail

Yes you can just test all spying tools mentioned not only one. Check with simplespy, jabsimplespy, inspect.exe and uiaspy. Its just not a simple yes no and no spy tool will give you all information.
