netnuvo Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Hi, I'm running a script from Host and want to control a window insde a virtual machine, using VMware Player. Mouseclick, everything works, except for the screen coordinates and pixel coordinates... If i make the mouse click at 0,0 it always clicks on the top let corner of the virtual machine, not the activated window inside of it. I tried WinActivate on Notepad to test, no joy. I tried with all these options : MouseCoordMode Sets the way coords are used in the mouse functions, either absolute coords or coords relative to the current active window: 0 = relative coords to the active window 1 = absolute screen coordinates (default) 2 = relative coords to the client area of the active window Waiting for some help! Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrewManNH Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 You'd have to run the script inside the VM for the client coordinates to work correctly, you can't do it from the host. When running it from the host machine, it sees the client machine as the client window. It doesn't even know that there are client windows inside the VM. 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.
