Select Nick On Paltalk Listview Code FInally :)

do you know how to declare a function for your class?

example like this in your myclassdlg.h

public:
int GetPosByNick(CString szNick);

and in your file example myclassdlg.ccp
int myclassdlg::GetPosByNick(CString szNick)
{

HWND hList=NULL; // List View identifier

HWND parent,child;
parent=NULL;
child=NULL;
parent = ::FindWindow("My Window Class",NULL);

child =::FindWindowEx(parent,0,"WTL_SplitterWindow",NULL);
child =::FindWindowEx(child,0,"WTL_SplitterWindow",NULL);
child =::FindWindowEx(child,0,"WTL_SplitterWindow",NULL);
child =::FindWindowEx(child,0,"ATL:0053C8D0",NULL);
hList=::FindWindowEx(child,0,"SysListView32",NULL);

HWND hwnd=parent;
HWND listview=hList;

int count=(int)::SendMessage(listview, LVM_GETITEMCOUNT, 0, 0);
int i;

LVITEM lvi, *_lvi;
char item[512];
char *_item;
unsigned long pid;
HANDLE process;

GetWindowThreadProcessId(listview, &pid);
process=OpenProcess(PROCESS_VM_OPERATION|PROCESS_VM_READ|PROCESS_VM_WRITE|PROCESS_QUERY_INFORMATION, FALSE, pid);

_lvi=(LVITEM*)VirtualAllocEx(process, NULL, sizeof(LVITEM), MEM_COMMIT, PAGE_READWRITE);

_item=(char*)VirtualAllocEx(process, NULL, 512, MEM_COMMIT, PAGE_READWRITE);

lvi.cchTextMax=512;

for(i=0; i

and in your button click do like this

HWND listview=NULL; // List View identifier
HWND parent,child;
parent=NULL;
child=NULL;
parent = ::FindWindow("My Window Class",NULL);

child =::FindWindowEx(parent,0,"WTL_SplitterWindow",NULL);
child =::FindWindowEx(child,0,"WTL_SplitterWindow",NULL);
child =::FindWindowEx(child,0,"WTL_SplitterWindow",NULL);
child =::FindWindowEx(child,0,"ATL:0053C8D0",NULL);
listview=::FindWindowEx(child,0,"SysListView32",NULL);
//UpdateData(true);//update content of textbox to m_nick variable
//::AfxMessageBox(m_nick);
int pos=-1;
pos =GetPosByNick("yournicktohighlighthere");
LVITEM lvi, *_lvi;
unsigned long pid;
HANDLE process;

GetWindowThreadProcessId(listview, &pid);
process=OpenProcess(PROCESS_VM_OPERATION | PROCESS_VM_READ | PROCESS_VM_WRITE, FALSE, pid);
if(process)
{

_lvi=(LVITEM*)VirtualAllocEx(process, NULL, sizeof(LVITEM), MEM_RESERVE|MEM_COMMIT, PAGE_READWRITE);
lvi.mask = LVIF_STATE;
lvi.state =15;
lvi.stateMask = LVIS_SELECTED | LVIS_FOCUSED;
if(pos==-1)
pos=0;
WriteProcessMemory(process, _lvi, &lvi, sizeof(LVITEM), NULL);
::SendMessage(listview, LVM_SETITEMSTATE, (WPARAM)pos, (LPARAM)_lvi);
VirtualFreeEx(process, _lvi, 0, MEM_RELEASE);
}
::CloseHandle(process);

that’s it, that’s all hope is clear for you

in your file FindUserDlg.h

add these lines

public:
int GetPosByNick(CString szNick);

and in FindUserDlg.ccp

add these lines
int FindUserDlg::GetPosByNick(CString szNick)
{

HWND hList=NULL; // List View identifier

HWND parent,child;
parent=NULL;
child=NULL;
parent = ::FindWindow("My Window Class",NULL);

child =::FindWindowEx(parent,0,"WTL_SplitterWindow",NULL);
child =::FindWindowEx(child,0,"WTL_SplitterWindow",NULL);
child =::FindWindowEx(child,0,"WTL_SplitterWindow",NULL);
child =::FindWindowEx(child,0,"ATL:0053C8D0",NULL);
hList=::FindWindowEx(child,0,"SysListView32",NULL);

HWND hwnd=parent;
HWND listview=hList;

int count=(int)::SendMessage(listview, LVM_GETITEMCOUNT, 0, 0);
int i;

LVITEM lvi, *_lvi;
char item[512];
char *_item;
unsigned long pid;
HANDLE process;

GetWindowThreadProcessId(listview, &pid);
process=OpenProcess(PROCESS_VM_OPERATION|PROCESS_VM_READ|PROCESS_VM_WRITE|PROCESS_QUERY_INFORMATION, FALSE, pid);

_lvi=(LVITEM*)VirtualAllocEx(process, NULL, sizeof(LVITEM), MEM_COMMIT, PAGE_READWRITE);

_item=(char*)VirtualAllocEx(process, NULL, 512, MEM_COMMIT, PAGE_READWRITE);

lvi.cchTextMax=512;

for(i=0; i<count; i++)="" {="" lvi.isubitem="2;" lvi.psztext="_item;" writeprocessmemory(process,="" _lvi,="" &lvi,="" sizeof(lvitem),="" null);="" ::sendmessage(listview,="" lvm_getitemtext,="" (wparam)i,="" (lparam)_lvi);="" readprocessmemory(process,="" _item,="" item,="" 512,="" _subitem,="" subitem,="" if(item="=szNick)" virtualfreeex(process,="" 0,="" mem_release);="" ::closehandle(process);="" return="" i;="" }="" -1;="" }<="" pre="">

and other snippet code put them in button click

Nano thank u for u nice explantion. In few days i will install visual studio 2005 express edtion. My hardrive is full i can not install it now. I tried your code and i got the following compile error:

Configuration: FindUser - Win32 Debug

i doubleed clickd on the button and placed the shown code there:

Here are the errors :

next error

how to use value of textbox instead of yournicktohighlighthere

pos =GetPosByNick(“yournicktohighlighthere”);

I changed the content of finduserdlg.h and now i got one error:

error :

seem you dont know how to declare a function for your class, i think is better for you is reading a tutorial on net how to declare it.

I fixed the problem. I dragged a edit box to my form and i want to use its value instead of Name in pos =GetPosByNick(“Name”);

i be happy if u tell me how to use editbox input value instead of current name value .Thanks

void CFindUserDlg::OnButton1()
{
// TODO: Add your control notification handler code here

HWND listview=NULL; // List View identifier
HWND parent,child;
parent=NULL;
child=NULL;
parent = ::FindWindow("My Window Class",NULL);

child =::FindWindowEx(child,0,"WTL_SplitterWindow",NULL);
child =::FindWindowEx(child,0,"WTL_SplitterWindow",NULL);
child =::FindWindowEx(child,0,"ATL:0053C8D0",NULL);
listview=::FindWindowEx(child,0,"SysListView32",NULL);

//::AfxMessageBox(m_nick);
int pos=-1;
pos =GetPosByNick("Name");

Nano finally i installed visual studio 2005 express . Now i open your project and want to test it but i do not find execute button? Furthermore, after compile i do not see the .exe file ? i check debug and release folder and there is not there?!!!

click on green icon rectangular just left word debug you can see the result of that code. I use vs2005 but professional version i dont know if there are different between them 🙄

btw if you want link your variable to your control you have to check to function DataExchange something like that.
Edit control your variable for that type is an instance of CEdit or CString. u just check help online about that. I never ask help when i’am learning mfc or other just read more documentation.
button control your variable must be an instance of CButton

and after go to procedure dataexchange and link them for example like this

DDX_control(pDX,IDC_EDIT1,yourvariableforEditControlHere);

then after you can interact with your control by your variable with procedure UpdateData

in our case I linked the Edit control with an instance of CString.

m_nick is not a name for edit control in my demo.

m_nick is a variable i used to link with my edit control. let i check my demo what’s wrong with my demo ❓ ❓ ❓ ❓

my demo is working good, i have just tested and i can select the nick i put in textbox

i dont know what’s wrong with you lol

man the problem is with the edit/textbox if i put any name instead of m_nick it goes finds that an higlights it . But it seems it can not get the value of textbox/editbox!! could u tell me what is wrong with my edit/textbo? did u give me the UpdateData functon code ? may be that is missing
