I can set the focus on a listbox, I can use up/down keys to navigate, but is there any way to select it via the keyboard?

I don't see anything in the docs under A_EventInfo, and pressing Enter or spacebar doesn't work. I know I could probably use a &Accelerator key, but that doesn't work for my application. Likewise, GuiControl (if it includes some method of doing this) won't help me either.

I'd be surprised if there was no means of doing this; it seems like such an obvious use case. What am I missing?

Are you trying to select a specific item using the keyboard, or only set the focus on the listbox?

I don't think it's what you want, but if you just want to select a specific index, then use the LB_SETCURSEL message.

Thanks for the help!

I guess an OK button could be a workaround. (This is a Pocket PC/Windows Mobile app, and I'm trying to make it "finger-friendly" which necessarily includes support for the "D-Pad".)

Thank you! That's pretty cool and I'm sure I'll get some use out of it some day, but for my current project, AHKCE doesn't support SendMessage.

If it supports controlsend:

Browse a listbox with arrow keys

or you can use a number / letter for each listbox :

1 this1
2 that1
a this2
b that2

if you type 1 it would select this1 if you type a it would select this2 etc

Sadly, ControlSend is unsupported as well. The numbers/letters option is probably preferable to an OK button since I'm working with such limited screen space (240x320). Thanks for the suggestion!
