Wait for click

[shmuelw1]

I wrote a script to copy the filename of a file that I click on, and paste it over the filename of another file that I click on (but not over the file extension).

For some reason the script is never getting to Func Clicked() no many how many times I click.

Any ides?

; Copies filename and extension from selected file to another selected file, but 
; does not paste over the file extension of the 2nd file

; #include "Other\MyFunctions.au3"
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> ; defines various GUI events

Dim $numClicks = 0

Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1)
GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_PRIMARYDOWN, "Clicked")

While 1
    Sleep(1000)
WEnd

Func Clicked()
    $numClicks = $numClicks + 1
    Select
        Case $numClicks = 1  ; on 1st nouse click, copy the filename
            Send("{APPSKEY}")
            Sleep(200)
            Send("{UP 2}")
            Send("{ENTER}")
            Sleep(200)
            Send("^c")
            Send("{ENTER}")
        Case $numClicks > 1 ; on 2nd nouse click, paste the filename
            Send("{APPSKEY}")
            Sleep(200)
            Send("{UP 2}")
            Send("{ENTER}")
            Sleep(200)
            Send("{LEFT 4}")
            Sleep(200)
            Send("^+{HOME}")
            Send("^v")
            Send("{ENTER}")
            Exit
    EndSelect
EndFunc

shmuelw1,

That is because you do not have a GUI to click in!

You will have to use _IsPressed to register the clicks.

Thanks! I didn't know GUISetOnEvent and GUICtrlSetOnEvent were only for an AutoIt GUI.

That should be added it the AutiIt help, along with a reference to _IsPressed.

shmuelw1,

The clue in the name (GUISetOnEvent and GUICtrlSetOnEvent) is not enough?

I don't use AutoIt for GUIs, so for me it was not enough. I just want a simple script for keystrokes in Windows programs, but I want it to pause until the next mouse click. I did some searching in the help and all I found was GUISetOnEvent and GUICtrlSetOnEvent.

So I think it would be helpful to have a reference in these functions to _IsPressed.

I did see IsPressed mentioned on the web, but I couldn't find it because they left out the underscore before it. At least this new topic should be find-able since I gave it a decent title

Thanks everyone for the help!

OK, here it is, and it works.

Thanks Melba23!
