[purplex420xhaze]

I was taking a look around @ some posts... & I found something some things that work for SendMessage...
usually only a few things work when I try to use SendMessage... for example...

Macro

Code:

Copy      Help

int w1=id(822"this is parent that contains SysListView32");;id(822) is the child of parent...
int n=SendMessage(w1 LVM_GETITEMCOUNT 0 0)
out n;;this 'outs' the total # of items in the SysListView32...
;;I really like this... but would like to try the following, but am not sure how!!!

;;FOLLOWING: -

int o=SendMessage(w1 LVM_FINDITEM 0 0)
out o;;Nothing happens...
;;I would like to use LVM_FINDITEM... to find a certain item in SysListView...

int o=SendMessage(w1 LVM_FINDITEM "981452 *" 0);;NOT SURE HOW IT COULD BE DONE.

;;to tell the truth... a lot of SendMessage remarks I donnot understand how to use. I would sure like to.

Here is where I am getting & testing a lot of my SendMessage Remarks:

If the control is in other process, LVFINDINFO variable must be in shared memory. But much easier is to use acc instead.

Find Specific Item (SysListView 32)

Using acc, you may sometimes be required to combine two strings depending on what you are searching for. Using "from." have one string variable = whatever the common text is. To acquire the other text simply use a text input box and assign that text to the other variable.

str+ remember
str commontext item
commontext = "whatever text is always the same"
item = ""

top
inp- item "Enter Item here.[]Press enter when you are ready to search list." "List Search" item
if(len(item)<>7)
,item = ""
,goto top
else
,memory.from("commontext item)
,Acc a=acc(memory "LISTITEM" win("Window Name" "Class") "id=822" "" 0x1011 0 0 "" 1)
,a.Select(SELFLAG_TAKESELECTION)
