Using GetListItem for a ListBox inside an IE Browser Window

[jpuziano]

Hi Support,

I am trying to use the GetListItem command with a ListBox control on a webpage (IE browser window). There are two ListBox controls on the webpage with about 150 values in each. I am trying to use GetListItem to determine if a particular choice is there and if so, what the offset is so I can send the keystrokes to choose it... just like your example does in the help file documentation for GetListItem.

Code: Select all

The Macro Scheduler "View System Windows" tool produced these lines showing the main IE window and the two List Box controls (other lines not shown)

3408450 - IEFrame "Sys1 - Microsoft Internet Explorer."
984040 - Internet Explorer_TridentLstBox ""
1770250 - Internet Explorer_TridentLstBox ""

I used "Internet Explorer_TridentLstBox" for the Class Name like this...

GetListItem>Sys1 - Microsoft Internet Explorer.,Internet Explorer_TridentLstBox,1,Item,0,0,0,nDx,lvHwnd

Running the above line causes Macro Scheduler to lockup so that it must be closed via the Task Manager.

I know this is the right object due to the following...

Code: Select all

Let>lbhandle=1770250
LibFunc>user32,GetListBoxInfo,resultvar,lbhandle
MDL>resultvar
//THIS WORKED, it returned 158 and there are 158 items in the List Box

I also tried another utility to view the System Windows called WinExplorer. It shows more of the hierarchy, which object is under which object:

Code: Select all

- Sys1 - Microsoft Internet Explorer. [IEFrame]
  - [Shell DocObject View]
    - [Internet Explorer_Server]
      - [Internet Explorer_TridentLstB]
      - [Internet Explorer_TridentLstB]

Is the Internet Explorer_Server object getting in the way?
Can GetListItem be used with a List Box displayed inside an IE browser window?
How can I get at the items in this List box?

Any help would be much appreciated...

Can you View Source of the web page and Search for the values in Option value section?

Hi Bob,

Thanks for the suggestion, I didn't think of that... but no, view source isn't much help, not many lines there and no List Box values.
