Using Mouseclick as logic

[mike1234]

I have tried to do my due diligance but can not find a way to use the mouse click as a qualifier for logic in code. Can anyone give me an example of using right and/or left mouse click as an intilizer of a function. Similar to a hot key can I say if the user right clicks at anywhere in these coordinates do function A, if they left click in any of these coordinates do function B?

Thanks

Look at _IsPressed() in the helpfile.

But doesnt _IsPressed only monitor for clicks. The right click still registers on the system so for instance in the app I am trying to interface with the right click menu still launches.

Check out this UDF:

It allows you to handle mouse events. It's very easy, I recommend playing with the examples first to see how they work. Good luck.

Disabling a program's context menu might not be the best idea in the world, because you're tearing a chunk of intended functionality out of it. A hotkey launched menu might be a better route.

Also look at hook

This is a method.

#include <Misc.au3>

Opt("MouseCoordMode", 1) ;1=absolute, 0=relative, 2=client

Do
    $aMP = MouseGetPos() ; For ToolTip use

    Select
        Case _IsPressed("1B"); Esc to exit
            Exit
        Case _WinAPI_PtInRectEx($aMP[0], $aMP[1], 0, 0, 200, 200); Top left corner of Screen
            ToolTip("Target Area")
            Select
                Case _IsPressed("01")
                    Do
                        Sleep(10)
                    Until Not _IsPressed("01")
                    ToolTip("")
                    MsgBox(0, "", "Left mouse button pressed within target area", 3, WinGetHandle(""))
                Case _IsPressed("02")
                    Do

            EndSelect
        Case Not _WinAPI_PtInRectEx($aMP[0], $aMP[1], 0, 0, 200, 200)
            ToolTip("")
    EndSelect
    Sleep(10)
Until 0


Func _WinAPI_PtInRectEx($iX, $iY, $iLeft, $iTop, $iWidth, $iHeight)
    Local $aResult, $tagREC = "int Left;int Top;int Right;int Bottom"
    Local $tRect = DllStructCreate($tagREC)
    DllStructSetData($tRect, "Left", $iLeft)
    DllStructSetData($tRect, "Top", $iTop)
    DllStructSetData($tRect, "Right", $iLeft + $iWidth)
    DllStructSetData($tRect, "Bottom", $iTop + $iHeight)
    $aResult = DllCall("User32.dll", "int", "PtInRect", "ptr", DllStructGetPtr($tRect), "int", $iX, "int", $iY)
    If @error Then Return SetError(@error, 0, False)
    Return $aResult[0] <> 0
EndFunc   ;==>_WinAPI_PtInRectEx
