Fetching forecolor of a list view item
I want a c# script+automation that will try to check/fetch forecolor of a listViewItem of a .net windows application. I have attached by current automation and the script I am using. The problem is that the parameter in the script is not accepting the item, so I'm not able to connect the data link.
I have also attached an image showing the actual forecolor of the list view & of the windows application.

- Disconnect the Items property into the ListLoop.
- Reconnect that link.
- Extract a proxy from the Item coming out of the ListLoop.
- If this is an object, then please attach your solution or at least your {adapter}.os file (you can just attach the os file for the adapter so you don't accidentally include any screenshots of controls).
- If the proxy is a ListViewItem, then pass the "This" property of the proxy into your script.
- If the proxy is some other type, then this is what you'd pass into your script (I don't think this is at all possible though).
If you need more help with this, you may attach the os file from your adapter (assuming none of the controls are named anything proprietary (or you could create a new adapter with the control listView interrogated) and I can help you from that. If you include just the os file, then none of the screenshots will be present, so there's no chance of passing any sensitive data. To attach it, you'll probably need to zip it first.

I tried what you said, the type of Proxy is listViewItem only. But still I'm not able to connect the This of proxy with the script.
Is my script wrong? Do I need to add additional references?My Pega Version is--8.0.2021.0
I've attached the adapter file, script & my automation.

I did not notice that you saw the color property using NativeControlExplorer. The good news is that property is accessible to Pega Robotics, however it is not exposed by the translator. You'll need to create a UI Connector to expose that property.
The reason that the item coming out of the ListLoop does not connect to your script, is that the type of that item is OpenSpan.Adapters.Controls.ListViewItem. Your script is accepting a different type, which is why they don't connect. OpenSpan.Adapters.Controls.ListViewItem does not contain a ForeColor property, so you'll need to expose it with a UI Connector. It has been a while since I have used those, but I believe you can expose that property on its own from the Native Control Explorer window, but I would have to be able to be hands on with the application to give you those exact steps.
