ListBox in TC isnot standard ListView32 control?

I wanted to get "SelectedItemCount" from the control of "TMyListBox1".

I tested many ListBoxes in other programs, and it works fine. Yet for TC it always returned 0.
How to do this in AHK?

Listbox in TC is a really ListBox and not ListView.

So you need to use ListBox messages and not SysListView32 ones.

Indeed it's an owner-drawn listbox control, but it also imlements WM_GETTEXT and WM_GETTEXTLEN to get items from the list. Only thumbnail view is a bit special, it shows multiple images per line.
