How to access the items found with ControlTreeView?

[FilipL]

I am trying to loop through a branch of a Treeview.
When I use the ControlTreeView with the option GetItemCount, it returns 2, being there are 2 items, which is correct.
What I can not figure out is how I can loop through these items and select them one by one.

I am new to AutoIT so this question can be a low brainer, but do not get any further for the moment.

I saw these examples, but am I wrong that first the treeview is being build before using it.
Here you have the handle to the tree, but I do seem to succeed to get the handle of the object found in the ControlTreeView.

Some example

MsgBox(0, "Nr. of items: ", ControlTreeView("Monitor","" ,"" ,"GetItemCount","#0|<Preferences>|interface"))

This returns 2 items found.

I have taken the code you pointed to, but I do not see the interfaces, which are named "interface" and "interface1".
Here I am lost:
 

local $str 
$TV010 = ControlGetHandle ("Monitor", "", "")


    for $1 = 0 to _GUICtrlTreeView_GetCount($TV010)

        $str &= stringformat( 'Text = %-15s Child Switch = %-5s CTLID = %03i Parent CTLID = %03i Parent Handle = %-8s Sibling Count = %03i Child Count = %03i', _
                    _GUICtrlTreeView_GetText($TV010, $1), _
                    _GUICtrlTreeView_GetChildren($TV010,$1), _
                    _GUICtrlTreeView_GetItemParam($tv010,$1), _
                    _GUICtrlTreeView_GetParentParam($TV010,$1), _
                    _GUICtrlTreeView_GetParentHandle($TV010,$1), _
                    _GUICtrlTreeView_GetSiblingCount($TV010,$1), _
                    _GUICtrlTreeView_GetChildCount($TV010,$1) ) & @lf
    next

    ConsoleWrite($str & @LF)

Here is my function _TreeView_GetAll() which gets whole content of TreeView control, in this case even from external application:

Here you can see how to simply traverse the whole TreeView ...

 

#Include <String.au3>
#Include <GuiTreeView.au3>

$sAll = _TreeView_GetAll('OLE/COM Object Viewer', '', 'SysTreeView322')

FileDelete('treeview_get_all.txt')
FileWrite('treeview_get_all.txt', $sAll)
;~ClipPut($sAll)

Func _TreeView_GetAll($title, $text, $classNN, $expand = False, $indent = '  ', $bullet = '') ; $bullet = '- '
    $hWnd = ControlGetHandle($title, $text, $classNN)

    $sAll = ''
    If $expand Then _GUICtrlTreeView_Expand($hWnd) ; Expand All

    $hItem = _GUICtrlTreeView_GetFirstItem($hWnd)
    While $hItem <> 0x00000000
        $sItem = _GUICtrlTreeView_GetText($hWnd, $hItem)
        $level = _GUICtrlTreeView_Level($hWnd, $hItem)
        $sIndent = _StringRepeat($indent, $level)
        $sAll &= $sIndent & $bullet & $sItem & @CRLF
        $hItem = _GUICtrlTreeView_GetNext($hWnd, $hItem)
    WEnd

    Return $sAll
EndFunc

My problem lies in the correct setting of the _TreeView_GetAll (or ControlGetHandle) parameters.
When Specifying 'Monitor' instead of 'OLE/COM Object viewer' then the routine works, but the content of the wrong SysTreeView322 is shown.
The program I want to automate, which I only use, has multiple SysTreeView windows, each with the same ID. All are packed in a control, and these ones are different.

By using keystrokes I am able to direct the ControlTreeView to the correct TreeView, but I do not know how to do this for the ControlGetHandle.
When I use the second parameter, the result is empty.

When I set the ID of the control above the treeview in the third parameter, the result is empty.

No idea how this should work.

now I understood that _TreeView is not yours but from another program

let's open the auto it help file and try this

#include <GuiTreeView.au3>

$hWnd = WinActivate("AutoIt Help (v3.3.16.1)", "")
$hTreeView = ControlGetHandle($hWnd, "", "SysTreeView321")
ConsoleWrite("$hTreeView=" & $hTreeView & @CRLF)

$sTViewPath = "AutoIt|Function Reference|Window Management|Controls"


$iItemCnt = ControlTreeView ( $hWnd, "", $hTreeView, "GetItemCount" , $sTViewPath)
ConsoleWrite("Item Count " & $iItemCnt & @CRLF)

$hItemFound = _GUICtrlTreeView_FindItem($hTreeView, "ControlClick")
ConsoleWrite("$hItemFound=" & $hItemFound & @CRLF)

_GUICtrlTreeView_SelectItem($hTreeView, $hItemFound)
Local $hItemOld = $hItemFound

For $i = 1 To $iItemCnt -1
    $hItemOld = _GUICtrlTreeView_GetNext($hTreeView, $hItemOld )
    _GUICtrlTreeView_SelectItem($hTreeView, $hItemOld)
    Sleep(500)
Next

Found it, thank you.
Each SysList32x view gets an x where the x indicated the one that is currently active.
By first navigating to the correct window with keypresses and making this one active, i can address the SysList321 and now I have it.

Super, thank you.

Thanks Zedna and ioa747.
With understanding how the "SysTreeView321" is define, I can get further now. 
Thank you to enlighten me.
