Raskus Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 I'm currently trying to automate a simple browsing program that will continually skip through images on a site in the background while I'm doing other things on my computer. I know there are simpler alternatives like Tab + Enter to skip to the next image but something that really irked me was getting controlclick to work properly. I've searched up and down and can't find a straight forward way to get coordinates(static) within a window. I want to be able to move the window around,minimize it possibly, etc. Are there any simple scripts or commands for getting window coordinates?

Omga4000 Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 If I'm not mistaken, "Au3Record.exe" does that exactly. you can find it in: C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\Extras\Au3Record Give it a try Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raskus Posted August 14, 2011 Author Share Posted August 14, 2011 Eh, It gives mouse coords in relation to the desktop, not the active window. This really is a pain, you'd think it would be such a simple thing to find out xD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raskus Posted August 14, 2011 Author Share Posted August 14, 2011 Yeah guys, controlclick seems to be the issue. It's just not clicking the window, inactive or active. Thanks for the help though, I learned a few things thanks to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
