How do I send a "hold xbutton down for x time"?

[Nu11Fish]

I'm trying to automate something and I need to have it press RSHIFT and then Right mouseclick, I already have the window stuff setup but putting

Send("{RSHIFT}")

MouseClick( "Right", 1110, 435, 1, 1)

The shift button needs to be held down so that when right mouseclick happens then its like rshift+mouseright.

Because the GUI shows a seperate menu when you press Shift. So a hold shift till x time would work.

Can you tell us which program you try to automate and what you try to achieve? Maybe there is an easier way to do what you want.

Agreed. Please understand since you are new - if this inquiry is for a game then this subject will not be discussed and the thread will be reported to a moderator. Usually they will close the thread. If you have any questions feel free to review the forum rules. Now, if this isn't for a game and does not run afoul of the forum rules, it would be a great help in you telling us what the name of the application is. Odds are someone has already done the work you ask and we can point you in the correct direction. This will save you time, and makes things much more pleasant.

Read thru the Help file, especially the part about the Send function, and you will find a simple solution.

The forum has a search function. So does the help file.

I gaurentee I found the following faster than the time it took you to post.

Yeah, but the question still has to be answered: What do you need it for?

[ileandros]

Send("{SHIFTDOWN}")
MouseClick( "Right", 1110, 435, 1, 1)
Send("{SHIFTUP}")

Long clicks are used in mobile devices. AutoIt doesn't work on Mobile devices.

Long clicks are also used in games to "charge up" some abilities.

I smell something and it ain't what the Rock is cookin'

Send("{SHIFTDOWN}")
MouseClick( "Right", 1110, 435, 1, 1)
Send("{SHIFTUP}")

Did you not see the 10 people trying to confirm the OPs post didn't violate the forum rules before putting something like that in there?!

The OP asked how to Shift + Right-Click, and none of his other posts seem remotely close to gaming. So what about this post arouses suspicion? The only thing that makes this thread show up in a google search about autoit and gaming is the replies.

Could I ask everybody to stop these type of rather silly discussion threads and simply hit the report button when you feel it is against our rules?

This is clearly polluting the OP's question.

Thanks,

No i didnt read them, i read them now.

I prefere helping people than being suspicius if they are using it for games. But i know, its harder to think possitive than thinking negative.

Even if he is using for a game automatation or something like that i dont feel that this code would change his life.

I post to help not to rise the number of my posts.

And as he said:
