I want to grab the content from a List

Windows Spy detects this list as the following:
ClassNN: WindowsForms10.Window.8.app.0.687911a6

I've been trying to grab the content from the List with AutoHotkey but it failed:


==> this code gives "There was a problem. Errorlevel: 1"


I came across this topic:
"ControlGet List doesn't work with .NET Windows.Forms" - http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/topic50654.html


It seems ( with my limited knowledge ) that i'm suffering from the same problem.

Does anyone know what the real problem is?
Can someone help me with getting the content from the list of this program?
I've been looking around for a long time now and i don't really know what to do next.

You've pointed already to another thread which provided (AFAICS) a solution: http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/topic49620-16.html, or ??

I don't really understand what he is talking about

It's not really a solution so much as a recognition of a problem. AHK is not yet adapted to retrieve information from .NET applications (although by appearances it may be simple to fix). You can try the Accessibility method Sean recommended the user attempt in that previous thread but the problem is that, even if it does work, you'd have to execute it every time while your mouse is actively over the table.

I have been able to pull list contents from .net controls before, but it is a bit touchy. Try using this tooltip, and hover around the control. You may just not be getting the right information from windowspy. I have also noticed that, for whatever reason, it will not work in some areas of a single control.



*I have tested this code, it works in a .net application
