Select File in Folder View

[ayu_2403]

I want to select a file in src folder. But this code does not work. Can someone explain why it is not working?

ShellExecute('C:\Users\opc\Desktop\src')

Sleep(2000) ; Wait for the folder window to open

; Select the file in the folder
;ControlFocus(
ControlFocus("[CLASS:CabinetWClass]", "", "[CLASSNN:DirectUIHWND3]")
ControlCommand("[CLASS:CabinetWClass]", "", "[CLASSNN:DirectUIHWND3]", "SelectString", '10GB_1.bin')

Local $MyPath = 'C:\Users\opc\Desktop\src'
Run('explorer.exe /select,' & $MyPath)

The code you provided is not working because the ShellExecute function is used to open a file or folder with its associated program, not to select a file in a folder.

To select a file in a folder using AutoIt, you can use the FileSelectFolder function to prompt the user to select a folder, and then use the FileFindFirstFile and ControlListView functions to select the desired file in the folder.

 

#include <FileConstants.au3>
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

Local $sFolderPath = FileSelectFolder("Select a folder", "")

If @error Then
    MsgBox($MB_OK, "Error", "No folder selected.")
    Exit
EndIf

Local $sFileName = "10GB_1.bin"

Local $hSearch = FileFindFirstFile($sFolderPath & "\*")
If $hSearch = -1 Then
    MsgBox($MB_OK, "Error", "No files found in the selected folder.")
    Exit
EndIf

Local $sFile
While 1
    $sFile = FileFindNextFile($hSearch)
    If @error Then ExitLoop
    If StringCompare($sFile, $sFileName) = 0 Then ExitLoop
WEnd

FileClose($hSearch)

If Not StringCompare($sFile, $sFileName) = 0 Then
    MsgBox($MB_OK, "Error", "File '" & $sFileName & "' not found in the selected folder.")
    Exit
EndIf

Local $hWnd = WinGetHandle("[CLASS:CabinetWClass]")

ControlListView($hWnd, "", "SysListView321", "Select", $sFileName)

This example code assumes the folder window is of class [CLASS:CabinetWClass] and the file list view control has a class name of SysListView321. You may need to modify these values based on the specific application or window you are working with.
