Change values in listview Topic is solved

[hengel]

Hi, I'm just starting with AutoHotkey and I don't understand how to get and set values in a listview of another application.

The listview looks like:
Header Value
zone true
time 1600
factor 1.5

I can get the values into SelectedItems with this:
ControlGet, SelectedItems, List,, SysListView321, Format Strategy

But then I would like to check the value of row 1 and column 2 (zone=true). If it is true I want to change the value to false. And then do similar checks with row 3/column 2 and row 4/column as well (check value and then set it to something new)-

Any tips how this should be done, please?

You are near, for the first part.

Code: Select all

ControlGet, ColItems, List, col3, SysListView321, Format Strategy
;MsgBox % colItems
loop, parse, colItems, `n
{
    if (A_Index = 2) {
        col3row2:=A_LoopField
        break
    }
}
MsgBox % col3row2

I think, more directly would be via sending a message LVM_GETITEMTEXT.
That way you could later even send a message LVM_SETITEMTEXT.
However sending a message requires knowledge how to get/set info from/to a

struct

Code: Select all

typedef struct tagLVITEMA {
  UINT   mask;
  int    iItem;
  int    iSubItem;
  UINT   state;
  UINT   stateMask;
  LPSTR  pszText;
  int    cchTextMax;
  int    iImage;
  LPARAM lParam;
  int    iIndent;
  int    iGroupId;
  UINT   cColumns;
  PUINT  puColumns;
  int    *piColFmt;
  int    iGroup;
} LVITEMA, *LPLVITEMA;

, which I can't.
Maybe some one else will help you (and me too - to learn)!

But what's the point to change the values in the window of another application? The values themselves won't change, only the text in the window will change.

I tried some listview examples , add/modify/delete , print/calculate/formatted text ...

There's an LVSetText function, in this library, which works on external GUIs, however, I only really use it for internal GUIs:
