When I use the following call

@items = GetListContents($child);

[download]

I get the following error message.

"Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at testOSI.pl line 87"

testOSI.pl is my program and line 87 is the line given above that calls GetListContents. The $child variable is a valid window handle in that other calls using it return proper results.

Is it possible (a) that there is a bug in GUItest?, or (b) that the listbox control in the OSI application is not a Windows listbox (i.e., 3rd party control) and therefore incompatible with GetListContents?

If the answer is (b) incompatibility, is there an alternative scripting program/system that can read 3rd party listboxes?

BTW, the need to read the listbox is because in it is a list of possible items from which the "correct" one needs to be selected in the application. "Correct" meaning the one with the wanted key value.

Thanks in advance.
