Auto-click on webpage background

[lorenkinzel]

I use this simple script to keep track of where I've been while

virus-hunting so I can report the infected site to Google webmaster.

expandcollapse popup

#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <IE.au3>

$Form1 = GUICreate("Site Log", 145, 110, 192, 124, -1, BitOR($WS_EX_TOPMOST, $WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW, $WS_EX_ACCEPTFILES))
$gobutton = GUICtrlCreateButton("GO--1.5 sec.", 13, 8, 120, 49)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 12, 800, 0, "MS Sans Serif")
$loggerbutton = GUICtrlCreateButton("logger", 13, 59, 57, 20)
$iebutton = GUICtrlCreateButton("IE on",75, 59, 57, 20)
$psbutton = GUICtrlCreateButton("Pics on", 13, 82, 57, 20)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

;once site is open(ing) (& you push button1)you have 1.5 seconds to click somewhere on the webpage
;you don't usually get a lot of time if it is an infected site
While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Select
        Case $nMsg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit

        Case $nMsg = $iebutton
            $oIE = _IECreate("http://www.google.com/")

        Case $nMsg = $loggerbutton
            Run("site log record.exe", @ScriptDir); ClipGet & _FileWriteLog Straight out of the help section

        Case $nMsg = $psbutton
            Run("PrintScreen.exe", @ScriptDir);highly stripped-down version of "screen capture marquee2". Triggered by pressing prt scr.

        Case $nMsg = $gobutton
            Sleep(1500)
            Send("!d");select address bar
            Sleep(300)
            Send("^c");gets me the _FileWriteLog
            Send("^v");paste it back in otherwise it just don't work out
            Send("{enter}")

    EndSelect
WEnd

After pressing the 'go' button I need to click anywhere on the web page

or the script does not work as intended.

My question is: is there a method of automaticly clicking on the page?

(I won't know the page name, text in advance)

This would save me 1.5 seconds which can be make-or-break if the site is infected.

New variant definitions can be hard to come by, but worth-while if other less-adventurous

folks are spared the hassle.

This assumes that you want to use the window created with the "IE on" button.

Had to do a bit of research to figure out the best way to accomplish this myself, so I learned something as well.

Case $nMsg = $gobutton    
    WinActivate(_IEPropertyGet($oIE,"hwnd"))    ;Gets the IE window handle and runs the WinActivate() function against it.    
    Send("!d")  ;select address bar    
    Sleep(300)    
    Send("^c")  ;gets me the _FileWriteLog    
    Send("^v")  ;paste it back in otherwise it just don't work out    
    Send("{enter}")

This isn't clicking on the webpage background, but no such action should be necessary as long as Internet Explorer is the active window.

Thanks! I'll try it out when I get home.

Works like a charm & adds many more possibilities toward automating the virus searches.

I'd name my next new def. after you, but that would make you unhappy.

Thanks again.

haha, yeah I suppose that wouldn't be exactly a good reward.

But glad to have helped!
