List Views

[derrick]

Any objects on list views appear tp not be windows, ie labels, images. How can they be detected and manipulated.

e.g. A list of files show no information about themselves when using WindowFromPoint, so are they not windows? How would you select one with no handle?

Thx

I now understand that to save on resources not all objects visible in a window have their own handle, and as such can not be manipulated as other windows can be when using their handle via API calls.

I was trying to detect the status (say the colour) of any point on the screen, whether
or not it appears in a window.

If you can help I would appreciate it.

Thx
