I'm trying to get access to a 'syslistview32' like those in a FILE/OPEN dialog... I need to get let's say the 3rd item of the 3rd column. When I try to send different API SendMessage calls, it just closes the application (example notepad) with no errors or anything. I tried with an LVITEM (sendmessage hwnd, 3, 3, theLVITEM) and such, without success... Anybody can help me with this? I only need to get some TEXT from a LISTVIEW control of another program... Thank you in advance, I really really really need this ...
