ControlClick / ControlSend > Mousedown

[Kaspar]

I've searched through the forums and haven't found the answer I need for this so:

How can I controlsend or controlclick a mousedown (left) with no end? What code do I need? I can get it to work with just a mousedown (left), but that requires the screen to be active, and I want to be able to do other things on my computer while it's being held down.

...blah blah blah...
WEnd

If you would like to build a reproducer then maybe u could get some more help...

There are no native functions for what you want.

You could however achieve it, using either PostMessage or SendMessage functions.

It will not be a walk in the park if you are beginner.

local $i = 0
Do
ControlSend("Window Name", "", "", "{-}")
Until $i = 1

Is what I've got right now, But I need it to be a controlclick but when I run the window info tool, no controlID's come up. I've messed w/ this stuff a tiny bit in the past but I'd figure that it shouldn't be that hard to say I want a mousedown left in this window while it's the inactive window.

The code works when I swap the key that I use from my mouse to be -

Seemed to finally work even though I've tried it who knows how many times... -.- Don't know what changed from all the times previous.
