need help with mouse controls

[nicoshot]

i made a small script:

HotKeySet("{ESC}", "Terminate")
HotKeySet("{q}", "_start")

While 1
    Sleep("50")
WEnd

Func Terminate()
    Exit 0
EndFunc

Func _start()
    While 1
    MouseMove( 38, 554)
    Sleep("20000")
    WEnd
EndFunc

this is kind of a test. im learning.

one problem. this basic and easy script doesnt move or click (when i use mouseclick) while im on a application.

am i using the wrong command?

like it works on my desktop but when i switch to a program it stops working.

Global $Paused

HotKeySet("{ESC}", "Terminate")
HotKeySet("{q}", "_start")




While 1
    Sleep("50")
WEnd

Func Terminate()
    Exit 0
EndFunc



Func _start()
    $Paused = NOT $Paused
    While $Paused
        sleep(100)
ToolTip('Script is "Paused"',0,0)
        MouseMove( 38, 554)
    Sleep("20000")
    WEnd
    ToolTip("")
    EndFunc

Omg i haven't read your topic very well ,, sorry,

me to have same problem, and opened a topic,

it requires always top on autoit or you need to use dll that the window uses it.

This may not be the most optimized script but:

#Include <Misc.au3>
Global $Toggle

While 1
Select
Case _IsPressed("1b")
Exit 0

Case _IsPressed("51") or $Toggle
$Toggle = True
MouseMove( 38, 554)
Sleep(20000)

Case Else
;;;

EndSelect
WEnd

EDIT: You can also use ControlSend. See docs under Function Reference -> Window Management -> Controls

sry im quite new at this... have no idea what you wrote... and if that is what i need where do i add that?

[rcmaehl]

That's the entire script. Also, for clicking in programs you can try sending it virtually to the program (see my edit remark from last post)

[nicoshot]

how can i add a hotkey to it?

You don't have to, the script checks for if q is pressed, if it is then the loop within the loop, so to speak, starts.

for example i want to use f12 key, how can i find the code of f12 key? like yours 1b=q

[somdcomputerguy]

Actually, 1b is the ESC key. q is 51.

_IsPressed

[nicoshot]

it still doesnt work.....

while the aplication is up mousemove or mouseclick doesnt work.....

[rcmaehl]

it still doesnt work.....

while the aplication is up mousemove or mouseclick doesnt work.....

Then try ControlSend()

[nicoshot]

still doesnt, doesnt seem to have any control.

i heard about using dlls or infiltrating the application.... any easier way?

[rcmaehl]

Which program are you trying to send mouse movements too, if I may ask?

A thing you need to know is that some programs will not allow you to automate things... mostly games but there are some applications that will not allow you to do this. The work around this is extremely complicated. Too much so for someone as new as you. Keep practicing and one day youll use c, c++ etc. and youll figure it out XD

1. True, not all programs allow automation, That's why I'm asking

2. The varying work arounds ares easily done as I've done them myself many times with AutoIt

3. It's our responsibility to teach new people the ropes and the not-so-ropes
