Help with mouse click command

[JeffCline]

ok i am rather new to Autoit, i have looked over the help section but i cant put my finger on why my script isnt working the way i need it to. A little help to set me in the right direction would be much appreciated.

What I am trying to do is tell my mouse to move to position 860, 615 and left click. but only if a mouse cursor exist. If the mouse cursor does not exist then hit the alt key until the cursor appears.

This is what I have come up with by reading the guides, but it isn't working as intended.

Global $Cursor = MouseGetCursor ()

While 1
Do
Sleep ( 1000 )
Until MouseGetCursor ( ) = 2
WEnd

If $Cursor = 2 Then
send("{ALTDOWN}")
sleep(100)
MouseClick("left",860,615,1,0)
sleep(100)
send("{ALTUP}")
sleep(1000)

This is for a utility program i am trying to test. I hope autoit will make it easier for me to click through it.

Ok i am trying another attempt, but now i get the error that there is no While with my Wend...

So confused...

expandcollapse popup

#RequireAdmin
; Press Esc to terminate script, Pause/Break to "pause"

Global $Cursor = MouseGetCursor ()
Global $Paused
HotKeySet("{PAUSE}", "TogglePause")
HotKeySet("{ESC}", "Terminate")

;;;;;

sleep(15000)
While 1
If $Cursor = 0 Then
    send("{ALT}")

Do
    Sleep ( 1000 )
Until MouseGetCursor ( ) = 2

If $Cursor = 2 Then
    MouseClick("left",860,615,1,0)
Wend

;;;;;;;;

Func TogglePause()
$Paused = NOT $Paused
while $Paused
sleep(100)
ToolTip('script is "Paused"',0,0)
Wend
TootTip("")
EndFunc

Func Terminate()
Exit 0
EndFunc

This code:

If $Cursor = 2 Then
    MouseClick("left",860,615,1,0)
Wend

Is missing an EndIf.

If you are using the full version of the Scite4Autoit3 download then you can press CTRL-F5 to check your code and it will tell you where the error is.

[JeffCline]

ok i corrected the missing EndIf and some other errors now, thanks for the advice. I am still not getting the proper results

here is my current revised script

expandcollapse popup

#RequireAdmin
; Press Esc to terminate script, Pause/Break to "pause"

Global $Cursor = MouseGetCursor ()
Global $Paused
HotKeySet("{PAUSE}", "TogglePause")
HotKeySet("{ESC}", "Terminate")

;;;;;

sleep(10000)
While 1
Do
Sleep ( 1000 )
Until MouseGetCursor () = 2

If MouseGetCursor () = 0 Then
send("{ALT}")
EndIf

If MouseGetCursor () = 2 Then
MouseClick("left",860,615,1,0)
EndIf
Wend

;;;;;;;;

Func TogglePause()
$Paused = NOT $Paused
while $Paused
sleep(100)
ToolTip('script is "Paused"',0,0)
Wend
TootTip("")
EndFunc

Func Terminate()
Exit 0
EndFunc

It works on windows desktop but not on my utility program's pop up window. Any ideas?

[JeffCline]

also tried

sleep(10000)
While 1
Do
Sleep ( 1000 )
Until $Cursor = 2

If $Cursor = 2 Then
MouseClick("left",860,615,1,0)
Else
send("{ALT}")
EndIf
Wend

This script works but is not sending the ALT key command when the $Cursor = 0

Hi, JeffCline, welcome to the forum. What is the utility you're trying to manipulate? MouseClicks are inherently buggy; there may be are undoubtedly much easier ways of interacting with the windows of your program.
