Script working with Notepad but not another application

[polgarine 0]

Hi,

New to this forum and to AutoIt, I have a question.

Might be a noob question, but I'm a noob. Not to programming but to AutoIt.

So here is my script:

Dim $winHandle
$winHandle = WinActivate("Untitled","")
ConsoleWrite("handle : " & $winHandle)

Sleep(700)
MouseMove (1031, 802, 5)
ConsoleWrite("mouse moved")

Sleep(700)
MouseClick("left", 802, 5)
ConsoleWrite("mouse clicked")

This just activates a window, moves the mouse to a given coordinate and clicks with the left button of the mouse.

This code works when acivating a Notepad window.

But I want to use it on another application I bought. It does activate the window but the mouse does not move or click.

Do you see any reason why I get this behavior?

Thanks,

Polgarine

What application are we talking about exactly?

A game...?

No, not at all. It's an application that helps manage Twitter accounts.

Do you see any reason why it would not behave as a Notepad?

It's possible this application blocks automatic inputs. If this is the case, I don't know what solutions there are. But try ControlClick, it may work for you. You can use the AutoIt Window Info Tool (AU3Info) to get additional info ControlClick needs.

Mind helping me out and telling me this app? I could do with something like that.

It is called Tweet Attacks. It is a GUI developed in C# I think.

Does this help?

ControlClick is not going to work. This application has an Internet Explorer embedded in a custom control.

And what I want to do is click on a link in this browser. So I really need to be able to simulate what I would do with my mouse when I click on the link.

Hmm. Maybe you can get something out of IE Management?
