Control click question

[Kjstan]

I wasn't sure what to search for, so if it has been brought up before I apologize.

I have control clicks set up and everything works well except one thing. I want the script to click the coords I have set up while the window is minimized. As of now if I minimize the window and run the script it will automatically activate the window and open it back up before making the clicks. What do I have to add to make it work in the background?

If I am working on something on my other monitor it will switch the focus to the other window and it isn't working well.

I I asked you a question about your issue, would you even respond?

[Kjstan]

Yea, last time you asked what happened when it ran. When I originally posted I was pretty lost, and then came up with the second part after reading a bit more, I guess I was wanting to know if that script looked correct to you as I didn't need it to shut off for about 5 hours.. After the 5 hours it seemed to work right so I just left it at that. Now I am trying to convert the same code to work in the background so that I can do other things while it runs, I know the pixel search wont work in background mode so I plan to have 2 different files. One to run while I am wanting to use my pc for other things, and another to run while I am away so that it will shut itself off.

This is basically what I have so far:

expandcollapse popup

HotKeySet("{DELETE}","terminate")

Func terminate()
        MsgBox(0,"Done","Done")
        Exit
  EndFunc
 
  sleep (1000)

As far as I know google chrome needs to be active to accept control* functions.

This is not a bug, it's stated in the help file that some GUIs will need activeness.

Firefox 4+ will be no good either, nor will opera, for the sake of my old scripts, I have

FireFox 3.8x installed as that is the only browser I know works with such things.

EDIT:

Apart from Internet Explorer of course, which is by far the best choice when working

with web content.

Ah that would make sense, guess it is time to browse around for an old version of firefox. Thanks, hopefully it will work.

[JohnOne]

Good luck, but do not dismiss IE, it will probably do what you want without any need for ControlClicks.

There is an extensive standard UDF for it.

[Kjstan]

I downloaded Firefox version 3.6.28 from Oldverison.com and it seems to be working at the moment. Thanks again.

Excellent.
