Help with locking users mouse during mouse routines

Recommended Posts

I've got an app that uses mouse routines that click certain areas.

The problem is that a few of the clicks require tight precision and slight mouse movements seem to throw of the routine. Is there a way to lock out the mouse during the routine?

BlockInput()

In the time I'm been using autoit3, i've never come across a time/reason I would ever need it, and it can cause problems for a user, not to mention discomfort when someone causes their computer to not respond to their own input.

The problem with Control... is that they use ControlID. As I am trying to click on a Chrome page this becomes problematic.

If I am wrong in thinking this please show me how.

I will play around with BlockInput()

Thanks.

I hear it may work without ControlID.

But if you mean Chrome as in the web browser, then to automate browsing you really should be using the IE (look at "IE Management" in the helpfile) or FF (look link <-- link) UDF.

Wash your mouth out for suggesting IE.

I can't go back to FF. It feels so slow now.

But BlockInput worked just fine and control is only blocked for maybe a 10th of a second, if that.

I always appreciate the swiftness of response and the courteousnesses of the members.

This a very polite forum, and I never feel talked down to.

Thanks for your help and time.

maybe if you actually checked out the UDF and saw what it whas capable off ;-)

The OP just thinks IE is to slow.

Personally I dont see that much difference, and the functionality of the IE UDF certainly offsets any speed issues with other browsers when trying to automate something.

I think this speed thing is something people like to cling onto from the past.

I'd recommend to anyone to try IE9.
