`ControlCommand` not working with `ComboLBox` - autoit

Instead of returning the currect selected font, it returns 0.
ShellExecute("notepad.exe")
WinWaitActive("Untitled - Notepad")
Send("!O")
Send("F")
WinWaitActive("Font")
$select = ControlCommand("Font", "", "[CLASS:ComboLBox; INSTANCE:1]", "GetCurrentSelection", "")
MsgBox(0,"", $select)

That control is actually a "Combo L Box", not a ComboBox. As the AutoIt helpfile says under ControlCommand:
Certain commands that work on normal Combo and ListBoxes do not work
on "ComboLBox" controls.
The ComboLBox is actually a child control of the ComboBox, and is just the drop down part of it. If you use a more advanced window finder like Spy++, you will actually see there is a ComboBox there, with two children (an Edit and the ComboLBox). So your code will work if you change "[CLASS:ComboLBox; INSTANCE:1]" to "[CLASS:ComboBox; INSTANCE:1]".
Furthermore, you can improve your code for triggering the menu item, so that the entire operation can be done in the background.
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <WinAPI.au3>
Local $IDM_FONT = 33
Local $hWindow = WinGetHandle("Untitled - Notepad")
_WinAPI_PostMessage($hWindow, $WM_COMMAND, $IDM_FONT, 0)
Local $hFontWin = WinWait("Font")
$select = ControlCommand($hFontWin, "", "ComboBox1", "GetCurrentSelection", "")
WinClose($hFontWin)
MsgBox(0,"", $select)
Alternatively, you can interact with the ComboLBox in the same way you would a listbox:
$hLBox = ControlGetHandle($hFontWin, "", "ComboLBox1")
$itemIndex = _GUICtrlListBox_GetCurSel()
$select = _GUICtrlListBox_GetText($hLBox, $itemIndex)
Why ControlCommand doesn't work with this particular type of list box I have no idea. I can only guess that internally they check the control class against "ComboBox" and "ListBox" and return zero if there is no match.

You can use ControlGetText() to read the name of the currently active font, if this is what you want to accomplish.
ShellExecute("notepad.exe")
WinWaitActive("Untitled - Notepad")
Send("!O")
Send("F")
WinWaitActive("Font")
$select = ControlGetText("Font", "", "Edit1")
MsgBox(0,"", $select)

How can I get the text value of a button in Roblox Lua

How can I add the text value of clicked button to display. Currently, only first button functions and prints nicely.
local Key = Instance.new("Part");
local DisplayVal =""
Key = workspace.KeyPads.Keypad1.SurfaceGui.keys;
Key.MouseButton1Click:connect(function(hit)
DisplayVal = DisplayVal .. Key.Text
workspace.KeyPads.Keypad1.SurfaceGui.display.Text = DisplayVal
end)
I'm assuming that you have this code copied inside each button on the keypad.
That means that each button is using their own version of DisplayVal. When you hit one button, that button's DisplayVal gets set. If you hit the same button again, I'm sure it would work properly, but as soon as you switch to a different button it would revert back to the empty string.
So to fix this, why not just use the text from the display directly, rather than holding onto a variable version?
local Gui = workspace.KeyPads.Keypad1.SurfaceGui
local Display = Gui.display
local Key = Gui.keys
Key.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
local DisplayText = Display.Text .. Key.Text
Display.Text = DisplayText
end)

Check if WinList() contains a certain title

I am listing all open windows using WinList() to get window title and -handle in AutoIt.
I want to check if resulting array contains a specific title. What is the best way to do this? There is no WinList().Contains("TitleName") or something like that.
Local $aList = WinList() ;Gets a list of Window Titles and IDs
OK, I got it now:
For $i = 1 To $aList[0][0]
If $aList[$i][0] = "Title/String you search for" Then
MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "MessageBox shows this text if title is in list.")
EndIf
Next
You could also use something similar to what you wrote.
#include <Array.au3>
Opt("WinDetectHiddenText", 0) ;0=don't detect, 1=do detect
Opt("WinSearchChildren", 0) ;0=no, 1=search children also
Opt("WinTextMatchMode", 1) ;1=complete, 2=quick
Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 1) ;1=start, 2=subStr, 3=exact, 4=advanced, -1 to -4=Nocase
Local $title = 'AutoIt Help (v3.3.14.2)'
Local $aList = WinList()
;~ _ArrayDisplay($aList)
Local $iIndex = _ArraySearch($aList,$title)
WinActivate($aList[$iIndex][1], '')
Window exists?
"I am listing all open windows … I want to check if … contains a specific title. What is the best way to do this?"
As per Documentation - Function Reference - WinExists() :
Checks to see if a specified window exists.
Example.
Global Const $g_sWndTitle = 'Window title here'
If WinExists($g_sWndTitle) Then WinFlash($g_sWndTitle)
Retrieve window handle, -text and -title
Handle
"… to get window title and -handle …"
As per Documentation - Function Reference - WinGetHandle() :
Retrieves the internal handle of a window.
Example:
Global Const $g_sWndTitle = 'Window title here'
Global $g_hWnd
If WinExists($g_sWndTitle) Then
$g_hWnd = WinGetHandle($g_sWndTitle)
WinFlash($g_hWnd)
EndIf
Text
As per Documentation - Function Reference - WinGetText() :
Retrieves the text from a window.
Example:
Global Const $g_sWndTitle = 'Window title here'
If WinExists($g_sWndTitle) Then
WinFlash($g_sWndTitle)
ConsoleWrite(WinGetText($g_sWndTitle) & #CRLF)
EndIf
Title
Likewise, WinGetTitle().

SciTE Script - How to get inside a Tree Control to set checkboxes

I'm using AutoIt and SciTE to create an installation script. The problem I am running into is that there is a tree menu for selection of features. I can select the whole treeview (SysTreeView32), but am not sure how to get inside it to check the boxes without doing a mouse move and click (not a great option).
The Treeview looks like this:
The Control Info from AutoIT is like this:
I'm sure it is possible, just can't figure out how to do it. This is my first attempt a such a script. Creating a response file does not work for this exe for some reason. So - this appears to be my only way out to create a somewhat silent install (not silent anymore, but at least automated).
* EDIT - Current State of Things *
I did figure out how to do some of this, but I still can't figure out if the items is selected before accessing it. So - since it toggles, I could be turning off a feature I want!
$hWnd = WinWaitActive($WindowTitle, 'Select Features')
$tvCtl = ControlGetHandle($WindowTitle, '', 'SysTreeView321')
$firstItem = _GUICtrlTreeView_FindItem($tvCtl, 'eBooks')
_GUICtrlTreeView_SelectItem($tvCtl, $firstItem, $TVGN_FIRSTVISIBLE)
_GUICtrlTreeView_ClickItem($tvCtl, $firstItem, "left", True, 1)
Send('{SPACE}')
I wouldn't think I would have to send the space since I sent the ClickItem, but seems so.
I could also do this:
ControlTreeView($hWnd, '', $tvCtl, 'Select', '#0')
ControlSend($hWnd, '', $tvCtl, ' ')
That will toggle the first one. So - i can count them all up and do it that way.
But when I check for "IsEnabled" or "IsChecked", it always says NO. So - I can't check the ones I need only. I have to hope their status is what I expect.
Here is how I am checking "IsChecked" and "IsEnabled":
If ControlCommand($hWnd, '', $logTool, 'IsEnabled') then
ConsoleWrite('Log Tool - IsEnabled' & #CRLF)
Else
ConsoleWrite('Log Tool - NOTEnabled' & #CRLF)
EndIf
and
If ControlCommand($hWnd, '', $logTool, 'IsChecked') then
ConsoleWrite('Log Tool - IsChecked' & #CRLF)
Else
ConsoleWrite('Log Tool - NOTChecked' & #CRLF)
EndIf
It always comes back NOTEnabled and NOTChecked. I made sure that I ran the same procedure above: FindItem, SelectItem, ClickItem. And, the correct item is highlighted/selected when this procedure is run - I can see that. So - it just isn't returning a proper value.
Opt('WinTitleMatchMode', 2)
$hWnd = WinGetHandle("InstallShield Wizard") ; Notice the correct title
$hTree = ControlGetHandle($hWnd, '', "[CLASS:SysTreeView32;INSTANCE:1]")
; == Now you can interact with the treeview with functions from "GuiTreeView.au3"
EDIT:
Try this
; Select the item so:
_GUICtrlTreeView_SelectItem($hTree, $hItem, $TVGN_CARET)
; Get checked state:
_GUICtrlTreeView_GetChecked($hTree, $hItem)

How to expand a tree view using AutoIt

The UI is as following:
The tool "AutoIt Window Info" can only locate the elements in red (red rectangle area), the sub items can not be located.
So how can I expand or operate these items?
Usually Windows controls can be accessed using keystrokes as well.
In the screen-dump the Farmtt element is selected. That would be your starting point.
You may try:
Send("{DOWN}") Move down an element.
Send("{TAB}") Navigate to next control (button, checkbox, etc)
Send("{NumPadMult}") Recursively expands folders in a SysTreeView32.
Send("{ENTER}") ENTER key on the main keyboard
etc.
Reference:
https://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/appendix/SendKeys.htm
There are two things over here:
1) Use the following code snippet:
;Gets the handle for the text
Func readFirstlevelTreeNodes($hWndCtrl)
Local $firstItemHandle = _GUICtrlTreeView_GetFirstItem ($hWndCtrl)
Local $iCount = _GUICtrlTreeView_GetSiblingCount( $hWndCtrl, $firstItemHandle )
Dim $aRet[$iCount]
$aRet[0] = $firstItemHandle
For $index = 1 To $iCount - 1
$aRet[$index] = _GUICtrlTreeView_GetNextSibling ( $hWndCtrl, $firstItemHandle )
$firstItemHandle = $aRet[$index]
Next
getTreeNodeTextList($hWndCtrl,$aRet)
EndFunc
; Gets the text for given sibling node handle lists
Func getTreeNodeTextList($hWndCtrl,$aRet)
ConsoleWrite("Tree Node first level list"&#CRLF)
For $index = 0 To Ubound($aRet) -1
ConsoleWrite(_GUICtrlTreeView_GetText ( $hWndCtrl, $aRet[$index] )&#CRLF)
Next
EndFunc
You may see the output for the first level tree nodes.
2) If you still dont see the output then please verify the control handle values and window handles. If they are correct and it still doesnt show the first level tree nodes then try running your sciTE editor as administrator.
I think this should help.

TreeNode.Remove doesn't work !

I have a strange problem. Let's look at that code:
TreeNode tn = TreeView1.FindNode("2009/08/12 (1)"); //OK, the Node is found
Now, I need to delete that node:
(IT DOESN'T WORK !)
(e.g. (I know that I don't need to use TreeView1.FindNode() method, but i = -1))
TreeNode tn1 = TreeView1.FindNode(tn.ValuePath);
int i = TreeView1.Nodes.IndexOf(tn1);
or
TreeView1.Nodes.Remove(tn);
The problem is, the codes above doesn't work, I mean, the node isn't removed, why ?
The TreeView looks like that:
alt text http://img130.imageshack.us/img130/230/71970321.png
It seems that the TreeView control in .net only allows to remove First Level Nodes, so if the node you are trying to delete is not this kind of node, you need to delete it trough its parent, using something like this:
Dim Padre As TreeNode = TreeView1.SelectedNode.Parent
If (Padre Is Nothing) Then
TreeView1.Nodes.Remove(TreeView1.SelectedNode)
Else
Padre.ChildNodes.Remove(TreeView1.SelectedNode)
End If
Hope it helps!
Are you sure that you've selected the node properly? If TreeView1.Nodes.IndexOf(tn1) is returning -1, this indicates the node can't be found.
