Clicking at position x-y in a minimized window

[LeXarT]

I have searched these forums for a view days now and the only example i can find doesn't work or need some tweaking.

Basically i need a function/example on how to send a "mouseDown" and a "mouseUp" function call to a window that doesn't have focus(or even minimized)? I want to send mouse events to a specific window while i use my mouse on different tasks....Is that possible?

It seems this function should work, but it doesn't(atleast for me it does nothing):

As I understand it, this function is written mainly for games where everything happens in its own window (with no controls). For the next example it should work. Try it.

#Include <WinAPI.au3>

Global Const $WM_LBUTTONDOWN = 0x0201

GUICreate('MyGUI', 400, 400)
GUIRegisterMsg($WM_LBUTTONDOWN, 'WM_LBUTTONDOWN')
GUISetState()

Do
Until GUIGetMsg() = -3

Func WM_LBUTTONDOWN($hWnd, $iMsg, $wParam, $lParam)

    Local $hDC = _WinAPI_GetDC($hWnd)

    For $i = -3 To 3
        For $j = -3 To 3
            DllCall('gdi32.dll', 'int', 'SetPixelV', 'hwnd', $hDC, 'int', _WinAPI_LoWord($lParam) + $i, 'int', _WinAPI_HiWord($lParam) + $j, 'dword', 0x0000FF)
        Next
    Next
    _WinAPI_ReleaseDC($hWnd, $hDC)
    Return 0
EndFunc   ;==>WM_LBUTTONDOWN

But for the MS Paint (for example) that will not work. Here you should replace

WinGetHandle($Window)

to

ControlGetHandle(WinGetHandle($Window), '', '[CLASS:Afx:1000000:8;INSTANCE:1]')

Meaning understood?

In which window you want to click? Post screenshot of it.

In which window you want to click? Post screenshot of it.

Actually it is for a game....I'm trying to automate walking in the game by holding the middle-mouse button and panning left or right. While that is taking place i want the mouse free to let me do other tasks. I need some sort of way of sending mouse calls to an inactive window in the same way as you can send keys to it(like Autohotkey).

regards.
