I want to get text from a listbox that has several columns and +4000 rows. But when I run my script, I get the correct number of lines but no text.

Code:

ControlGet, Output, List, , SysListView322, Roadkil's Unstoppable Copier
FileAppend, %Output%, skipped_files.txt


Windows Spy says---
Text: List1

Does that mean I can't get the text, or is there something I'm missing?

I tested it with something I use, and it worked fine... Maybe the Control name or Wintitle are incorrect. Make sure to check those again, and try making it display in a MsgBox instead. That will allow you to figure out if the problem comes from reading the data, or writing the data. If the MsgBox is empty, then it's a reading problem... If it's not blank, then your problem is from writing to the text file.

Does this work?
Code:
Gui +LastFound
hwnd := WinExist()
Gui, Add, ListView, w100 r30, TEST|TEST
Gui, Show, w120 h400, Test
Loop 5000
   LV_Add("",A_Index, A_index*2)
ControlGet, list, list, , SysListView321, ahk_id %hwnd%
Gui, 2:Add, Edit,w250 h600, %list%
Gui, 2:Show
Return
2GuiClose:
GuiClose:
ExitApp

@Sivvy: I sent output to a MsgBox, and it is full of spaces (blank rows?) just like the text file.

@HotKeyIt: Thanks, I ran your script, but still received "empty" results. I got a long list of numbers, but no other text.

This is a mystery!

Yes, if Window Spy cannot see the text, your script cannot see the text. End of thread. End of story. Crying or Very sad
