Can't click in a minimized window

[D.M.]

Hi all,

What i'm trying to do is to send a mouse click to a minimized window. The program in this case is called "WinWap" (www.winwap.com), i want to gathering some informations from a WAP page while using the computer.

Here is the "Autoit Window Info" of it:

For some reason, the _MouseClickPlus() don't work here. I tried the follow code on paint, just for test purpose, got no results:

For $f = 200 to 600
        $handle = ControlGetHandle(WinGetHandle("Sem título - Paint"), '', '[CLASS:Afx:1000000:8;INSTANCE:1]')
        _MouseClickPlus($handle, "Left",  $f, $f,1)
    Next

*the _MouseClickPlus function was already attached to the script.

I tried to use ControlClick() istead of _MouseClickPlus(), like this:

For $i = 200 to 600
        ControlClick("Sem título - Paint", "", "[CLASS:Afx:1000000:8; INSTANCE:1]", "Left", 1, $i, $i)
Next

I also tried the both codes with #RequireAdmin, didn't work too. I use Windows Vista.

Can anybody help me?

Thanks in advance.

Anyone?

Check your _MouseClickPlus() parameters. First is title, not handle.

Check your _MouseClickPlus() parameters. First is title, not handle.

Doesn't work either...

DeathRow, it is considered general forum etiquette not to resurrect threads after about a year or so. The AutoIt language advances at such a pace that what was suggested in 2010 may not work for you today. I would suggest opening a new thread, clearly explaining what you would like to accomplish, as well as what you have already tried on your own, and showing a small piece of reproducer code. This way, we can do our best to assist you

Edit: grammar

Not to mention, that was an extremely rude way of asking for help.

Don't know if this will work but you can try it:
