ControlClick coordinates are way off

[woodyfly]

The coordinates for controlclick are way off for some reason, It was working fine on win 7.

EG: ControlClick("hello","","","right",1,16,41) will NOT click where I want it to.

If I do MouseClick @ 16,41, it gets it right.

???

if you are using the default coordenates system then you should edit your ControlClick() function, because the MouseClick is clicking in the 15,41 of the screen coordenates, and the controlclick in the 16,41 of the control coordenates(This case a window)

I am sure that if you run this you will get the same results as your ControlClick attempt

Opt("MouseCoordMode", 2)
WinActivate("hello")
MouseClick("Left",16,41)

Let me rephrase it

ControlClick does not click at the right coordinates (Window coordinates). If I were to test it with MouseClick (window coordinates, mousecoord 0), it clicks right.

If I were to put controlclick 0,0 as coordinates, it doesn't click on the topleft of the window.

Did you try adding the ControlID parameter?

No. ControlClick works fine on win 7, there's nothing different in this simply code. Something is messing up the coordinates, I don't know. Will try to reinstall my video drivers

If the problem is only with that window i doubt that the problem are the video drivers, try with notepad

WinActivate("[CLASS:Notepad]","")
ControlClick("[CLASS:Notepad]","","","Right",1,0,100)
 
;~ Opt("MouseCoordMode", 2)
;~ WinActivate("[CLASS:Notepad]","")
;~ sleep(500)
;~ MouseClick("Right",0,100)

There is Child windows inside the Window of your program?

I set the coordinate to 19, 36 which is targetted to clicking "File". It clicked somewhere around the top left area of the typing area.

Edit: Using mousecoordmode 2, it gives the same result as ControlClick. Mousecoord 0 gives the correct window position

ControlClick Uses MouseCoord = 2 relative to the client area if you dont use the controlID parameter... try my example and compare it in notepad, changing the MouseCoord mode

You're using the ControlClick command incorrectly. The X and Y parameters are not in relation to the window or the desktop, they are in relation to the Control you're clicking. Also, you are not using the control's id, you're leaving that parameter blank so I'm surprised it works at all. Please reread the help file for how to use ControlClick because you are using it wrong in so many ways.
