exiz Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Hello, i am interested to know whether it's possible to simulate a left mouse click without using the mouse at all.Note,that i am not saying without moving the cursor. The reason behind my question is that with ControlClick the mouse must be present/captured,but i want to run my script on a remote server - VPS - so there is no mouse until i am logged in.After that,you know,the the physical mouse on my computer can be used in the remote desktop as well,so the script works flawlessly,but when i am not logged in,it can't be executed.Actually,it hangs on the very first click that must be simulated ... Any workaround/solution will be greatly appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrewManNH Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 ControlClick. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

exiz Posted July 17, 2013 Author Share Posted July 17, 2013 The click is on an actual button: ControlClick("Name of my window","","[CLASS:WindowsForms10.Window.8.app.0.33c0d9d; INSTANCE:5]","Primary") and it works as long as i am connected to the VPS. But as i said,because there is no physical mouse on the server it uses the mouse of the computer i am using for connecting. The below picture is a screenshot of the VPS - device manager. I found a workaround,but not an actual solution... so need some further assistance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
water Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Why do you want to use the GUI to configure VPS? Can't you do it using the command line?

exiz Posted July 17, 2013 Author Share Posted July 17, 2013 @ post above:the VPS is configured ... Some more info: There is an actual program that must run 24/7 on a VPS.But it crashes once every 2-3 days due to abuse of lots of members.So,when it crashes i have to start it and click two buttons. The problem is that with ControlClick there must be a physical mouse - it doesn't work with TAB key either,so the easiest way would be to simulate mouse clicks.
