I did some experiments with Explorer, and was to able to invoke opening a file. So perhaps some of the code below could be useful.
Something like
MsgBox, % oAcc.accName(0) might be useful, to check that you have the right object.
Outlook uses COM, so perhaps that could be useful.
Sometimes you can paste a path into an Edit control and send Enter, or add a folder as a toolbar button (and you can invoke the toolbar button via Acc). Possibly you could create a shortcut that starts with an unusual character and send that character followed by Enter.
Code: Select all
q:: ;Explorer window - invoke first file (Windows 7, large icons)
WinGet, hWnd, ID, A
oAcc := Acc_Get("Object", "4.3.4.1.4.1.4.4.4.1.4.2", 0, "ahk_id " hWnd)
oAcc.accDoDefaultAction(0)
oAcc := ""
return
w:: ;Explorer window - invoke first file (Windows 7, large icons)
ControlGet, hCtl, Hwnd,, DirectUIHWND3, A
oAcc := Acc_Get("Object", "4.2", 0, "ahk_id " hCtl)
MsgBox, % oAcc.accName(0) "`r`n" oAcc.accValue(0)
oAcc.accDoDefaultAction(0)
oAcc := ""
return
e:: ;Explorer window - invoke first file (Windows 7, large icons)
ControlGet, hCtl, Hwnd,, DirectUIHWND3, A
oAcc := Acc_Get("Object", "4.2", 0, "ahk_id " hCtl)
oRect := Acc_Location(oAcc)
WinGetPos, vWinX, vWinY, vWinW, vWinH, A
vPosX := Round(oRect.x + oRect.w/2) - vWinX
vPosY := Round(oRect.y + oRect.h/2) - vWinY
MouseMove, % vPosX, % vPosY
ControlClick, % Format("X{} Y{}", vPosX, vPosY), A,,, 2
oAcc := ""
return
