Hi,
I have a listview (syslistview32 class) with OWNERDRAW_FIXED property set.
I am not able to extract text from it even when accessing it using ListView.GetItem(i).
Is there any way to make Select/sendkeys (home,enter) work to extract the data?
In this case, Is there any other way at all apart from looking for a different
component to extract the text from?

Regards,
Shanmu.

  Hi Shanmu,
  
  There is very little I can do with 'non-standard' (Ownerdraw especially) controls. If the control responds to the normal messages - then great - otherwise there is either no way to get the text or the control has it's own proprietary API - which I don't know.
  
  I haven't seen very many Ownerdraw SysListView32's - it's normally more simple controls.
  
  I think you may be stuck - and I don't know how to help you.
  
  If you figure out a solution and it's something that would help pywinauto (or others) then I would love to hear about it.
  
  Thanks
  Mark
