MouseClick to Virtual Machine

[jamesjimartin]

I've had a look in the forums but I cant seem to solve this issue that I'm having....

Is there a way to send mouseclicks to a VM running on your machine. I've been using Autoit in a VirtualBox Win 7 machine on OSX and no joy. I've also tested on a Windows 7 Machine with VMware Player.

Any hints or tips? Thanks guys.

EDIT: Just to clarify. I have a script that I want to run solely in a VM and provide mouseclicks in the VM only so no interaction at all with the host machine

as far as i know autoit inside Virtual PC dont have problems with XP as its OS. Don't know about win 7 version or any version on VMware

edit: just quick note that Virtual PC is name of program http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/support/virtual-pc-2007.aspx so that i don't get confused

if your using win7 as primary OS then please read http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx but i don't think there will be any problems of installing old Virtual PC 2007 on win 7 and running XP on it.

I'll try Installing XP tonight as the Virtual Machine OS and see if that works okay. Will get back with more details later.

I'm running Windows 7 in a VirtualBox on Ubuntu.

The following script shows the correct result even if the mouse isn't controlled by the VM.

MouseMove(10, 100)
MsgBox(0, "Test 1: Mouse position", "x: " & MouseGetPos(0) & @CRLF & "y: " & MouseGetPos(1))
MouseMove(700, 700, 0)
MsgBox(0, "Test 2: Mouse position", "x: " & MouseGetPos(0) & @CRLF & "y: " & MouseGetPos(1))

When using VirtualBox you can specify if the keyboard and mouse are "captured". For the mouse you have to activate "Mouse integration" and the mouse will be moved.
