MouseClick

[sakshi]

I am new to autoit and am having an issue

i want to move a mouse to particular tree structure in a active window and then click on it.

the window does not take keystrokes.

how to click via mouseclick or controlclick?

can anyone help?

What program? Any chance to try it on my own?

If the tree structure is always in the same place, then you can just use mouseclick() or controlclick() like you said.

If it's not, then most likely you'll need to identify the window/control/text which can be used to uniquely identify the tree structure and use relative coordinates.

You don't give much info or ask anything in particular so it's difficult to help.

The best I can do is say: Look at the help for mouseclick(), controlclick(), MouseCoordMode, ControlGetPos ... maybe others relating to control

the issue is that i need to click on a node of the tree which remains at a fixed position.

i used controlclick as

ControlClick("Administrator", "Datasbase", "[CLASS:SysTreeView32; INSTANCE:1]","right", 1, 358, 291)

but it does not work.

what is the error?

I have specified the coordinates which i got using AutoitWindowInfo.

if i use

WinWaitActive("Administrator")

MouseMove(290,245)

MouseClick("right")

then it works but i think the coordinates would change each time as cooordinates would be machine specific.

so how to make it robust to run on any machine?

What's the return from Controlclick()?

You can try to remove the "database" portion.

Can you post/link a screenshot with the AutoitWindowinfo locked on the tree?

The relative coordinates should remain the same if the window doesn't resize to a size that the tree can't be seen properly (YOu could Maximize before you begin, but that's another story. First get the click to work.)

Just btw, you can use MouseClick("Right",290,245), it moves the mouse before it clicks.

i am sending the screenshot take a look and please suggest appropriate way to click users node.

thanks.

Hey

Your original code was pretty close

Try this. Note I used a left click, just check if the left click selects it then change it to right click.

Opt("Wintitlematchmode",2)
ControlClick("Administrator","","[CLASS:SysTreeView32; INSTANCE:1]","left",1,76,56)

If the right click doesn't bring up the context menu the you can either do the task with only left click (i.e. using the edit or file menu etc) or you can try this to simulate Shift+F10 after left click (I know you said it doesn't accept keystrokes, but just try and see)

Opt("Wintitlematchmode",2)
ControlClick("Administrator","","[CLASS:SysTreeView32; INSTANCE:1]","left",1,76,56)
ControlSend("Administrator","","[CLASS:SysTreeView32; INSTANCE:1]","+{F10}")

Edit: Next time just make the image a jpg instead of bmp please (150k vs 3mb)
