Is it possible to get coordinates of selected item in TreeView (TreeViewWndClass1) control ? Topic is solved

[Mahendrakumar]

I have TreeView (TreeViewWndClass1) where i have selected one item using Keyboard keys (up n down) and at there i need right click to open context menu. I don't want to use mouse to get coordinates. Can anybody help me out ? problem is that Appskey doesn't work and no other shortcut are there. only way i found is to get coordinates and use MouseClick Right {x} {y}

ControlGetPos command.

AccViewer appears to be able to do this for standard treeview controls created in AHK GUIs. So it might work for your control:
Acc library (MSAA) and AccViewer download links - AutoHotkey Community

ControlGetPos command.

i tried but ControlGetPos doesn't get coordinates of selected text from TreeView. if you have example , could you please show me

You may be able to use the following command.

Control, TabLeft, 1, TreeView, WinTitle

you could also try the tree view with ControlGetPos, and then when you click X and Y, you do Click X+25, Y.

You may be able to use the following command.

Control, TabLeft, 1, TreeView, WinTitle

what does this script do ?

Try it.

AccViewer is similar to AutoHotkey's window spy, although more powerful, it can identify windows/controls and GUI elements within controls. It may or may not work with your control.

If AccViewer can retrieve the information, then you should be able to retrieve that information using the Acc functions in Acc.ahk.

For a standard treeview control, made in AutoHotkey via the Gui command, I was able to loop through all the items, and retrieve their text contents and individual locations.

Some example code:

Code: Select all

q:: ;get item coordinates/text from a treeview control
ControlGet, hCtl, Hwnd,, SysTreeView321, A
vOutput := ""
oAcc := Acc_Get("Object", "4", 0, "ahk_id " hCtl)

Loop, % oAcc.accChildCount
{
	oRect := Acc_Location(oAcc, A_Index)
	vOutput .= oRect.x " " oRect.y " " oRect.w " " oRect.h "`t" oAcc.AccName(A_Index) "`r`n"
}
oAcc := oRect := ""
Clipboard := vOutput
MsgBox, % vOutput
return

}

return

Thumb Up... thanks a bunch.. this coordinates helped me a lot.

I dont understand

I am trying to run this on the followin treeview but it doesnt display anything

Code: Select all

Gui, Add, TreeView
P1 := TV_Add("First parent")
P1C1 := TV_Add("Parent 1's first child", P1)  ; Specify P1 to be this item's parent.
P2 := TV_Add("Second parent")
P2C1 := TV_Add("Parent 2's first child", P2)
P2C2 := TV_Add("Parent 2's second child", P2)
P2C2C1 := TV_Add("Child 2's first child", P2C2)

Gui, Show  ; Show the window and its TreeView.
return

GuiClose:  ; Exit the script when the user closes the TreeView's GUI window.
