LB_GETCOUNT (on a tree control?)
Author
I''m trying to retrieve the number of items in a treeview, as well as the actual items themselves through straightforward Win32 API.
On most listboxes, I''ve always been able to use methods such as this..
i = SendMessage(nWindow, LB_GETCOUNT, 0, 0)
And it would work fine, but the particular control class I''m trying to work with is a "systreeview32". Kazaa, for instance, uses this type of control for it''s search results.
However, the above code does not work on this type of control, which I''m guessing is because, well, it''s a tree and not a list.
Does anyone know of any window messages I could send to a systreeview32 to get information like it''s count and what not?

alright, much thanks. but now I've encountered the problem of copying/retrieving the contents of a treeview.
i'm aware that it's not possible to retrieve this information simply by sending a TVM_GETITEMW message and hoping for the response.. anyway, I found an example for retrieving the contents of a ListView control, and tried modifying it to work with the TreeView control using the TV set of messages. the place which I downloaded the example from said that it would work anyone tried switching it to TreeView, but obviously it's not.. here's my block of code, and yes, all of the TVM_ and TV_ messages/types are declared properly:
and yes, getKTree returns the valid hWnd for the TreeView.
the listbox I've created is actually filling up with 230 blank entries (there's 230 items in the TreeView).. so something is working, but obviously the entire thing isn't. it simply won't copy the items.
and also, here's GetMemSharedNT and FreeMemSharedNT in case you're curious (yes, they both work)

you''re making the incorrect assumption in this line, "li.hItem = I", that the item handle is an index. it is not. it is a handle. a HTREEITEM to be specific.
the best way to go about this is to retrieve the HTREEITEM of the root item via a TVM_GETNEXTITEM using TVGN_ROOT as wParam and NULL as lParam. with that handle a TVM_GETITEM msg may be used, assuming the handle returned is valid (non-null).
subsequent TVM_GETNEXTITEM msgs using TVGN_NEXT as the wParam and the previously returned HTREEITEM as the lParam would retrieve the next item''s handle in the list.

alright, I understand what you mean. I''ve fixed it up, but it still refuses to work. however, it does get the handle of the root item correctly..so what am I doing wrong now?
by the way I''m only using C++ style rems for posting so you can see it better.
I think it has something to do with having to set .pszText to a value beforehand, but I don''t know what. someone told me to set it to "Space(64)", which is just a string of 64 blank spaces.. but I can''t because .pszText is defined as a LONG, and must be a LONG.
if I don''t set it to anything, the final SendMessage returns a 0..if I set it to a number like 64, it still fails.

ugh: I just discovered that the TV_ITEM type is a far pointer in C++.. so I don''t know how to get VB to compensate for that, because TVM_GETITEMA will not work.
so..any ideas?
