Hi all,

I've been trying to exact the values of every option in a listbox, but have failed to get more than gibberish returned.

Currently I would be happy with just getting a single value to begin with, but I can't even manage that.

The current code:
Code:
ControlGet, OutputVar, List, Focused, ListBox1, A

msgbox %OutputVar%


I have also tried a number of other combinations, but with little success.

Any thoughts on how to go about accomplishing this? It currently does not even return readable text.

Thanks.

Try this
Code:
ControlGet, List, List,, ListBox1, A
Loop, Parse, List, `n
    MsgBox Item number %A_Index% is %A_LoopField%.

Thanks for the reply, but I am still getting the same results. All it returns is "Item number 1 is ..." and then four random non-alphanumeric characters.

Any other suggestions? :)

Thanks!

I get the feeling that the note on the ControlGet page is probably coming into play here:

ControlGet wrote:
NOTE: Some applications store their ListView text privately, which prevents their text from being retrieved.


Granted, this note specifically applies to a ListView but I can't see why it couldn't also apply to a ListBox.

hmm... and how would I go about confirming that this is my issue?

The fact that plain text is being returned as garbled junk would infer that this is the case, but you can only really confirm it for certain by having access to the source code and knowing what to look for, or by contacting the creator(s) of the software to find out if this is the case.

You could confirm this is an issue by using the same code on a listbox you know is NOT private, such as one in a GUI that you made.

Just a thought.
