Hi, I am glad I came across this group. Nice content folks. I am
interested in finishing a little automation project. I have everything
figured out except for checking boxes in a treeview control. I am using
C# and using window handles to determine window location, move my
pointer, and do my clicking. I am running into an issue because one of
the forms I am interracting with has a treeview control built into it
with several sub items. I would like to check all the members of this
tree by scrolling through the items and clicking on them(or some such).

Does anyone have any suggestions or examples they could refer me to?
Anything would be appreciated. This is my first attempt at doing some
involved API programming so any pointers you can offer would be
sincerely appreciated.

Hi,

I'd suggest that you read MSDN docs on the TreeView common control messages
such as TVM_SELECTITEM and TVM_GETITEM. What you will most likely have to do
is to recursively walk through all the items in the treeview and sending a
message per each item that would make the item checked.
