Picture running Windows Explorer. On the left side you have a tree view and on the right you have a list. The product I'm working with has pretty much the same layout and in fact, they are the same type of components (SysTreeView32 on the left, SysListView32 on the right). The past incarnation of the automation could simply take in the element of a list (or tree) and would select it. Unfortunately it's not that fast and I'm not sure how well it would work with Macro Express, which with the aformentioned functionality, would be superior to what I'm using now.

Hi, I'm looking for some sort of way to interact with SysListView32 and SysTreeView32 objects (like in Explorer) and the garden variety version of Macro Express is want of these abilities. Can anyone tell me if there is a tool out there that will allow that kind of functionality?

I've posted a couple times on this topic but looking through the product itself I discovered that it may very well have what I'm looking for but I'm just missing it. The Explorer stuff uses the Windows components I need for my automation: SysListView32 and SysTreeView32. Obviously the product has that functionality in there but I don't know how to make it work with non-Explorer programs. So my question to this forum (and any Macro Express developers that may be watching) is; does anyone know how I can take that funtionality from the Explorer command and reuse it for my needs (which are to do the same things but not in programs other than Explorer)? Or, can anyone tell me if there is some command/control that will allow me to traverse a tree or a list (like you could do with the Explorer command)?

In this case it's a product for the company I'm working for but I know that SysListView32/SysTreeView32 are indeed accessible as we have other means to access it, but they are neither efficient nor reliable. Hence why we are looking at Macro Express.

We've managed to figure out how to pass variables from the command line but that still leaves out the ability to select from a tree/list (i.e. SysTreeView32/SysListView32). Does anyone have any thoughts on that?

I'd like to be able to read from a SysListView32 and I've seen no documentation that would indicate I can, so I'm turning my question to the forum. Is this possible?

Hi Folks; I'm trying to decide whether or not this tool is right for me. I downloaded the demo of it and it seems quite interesting, however there is a lot to wade through. So instead of spending a few hours looking through this I wanted to know a couple things I hope the community can help me with. I'm trying to do some automation, but that requires that I be able to pass variables. For example; selecting an item from a tree or a list. If I'm using the same tree (or list) and I'm selecting different values each time, I don't want to have to write more than a couple scripts to accomplish this. So is there a way to do this? Thanks in advance!
