Controlclick question/issue

[quarqo]

Hello! I recently cam across a weird problem related to "controlsend" and "controlclick" functions.

So, if I use for example:

ControlClick("Window Title", "", "", "left", 1, 116, 78)

This line of code is working perfectly! Anyway, if I get the handle of the window and insert it into the above code, it stop working!

$hwnd = WinGetHandle ( "Window Title" )

ControlClick($hwnd, "", "", "left", 1, 116, 78) ;not working anymore

The controlclick/send functions shouldn't work with both, Window Title or Window Handle? 

If anyone could help me out, I would appreciate.

I think it might have something to do with the window not being the active window, as per the remarks it must be the active window.

Local $hwnd, $active
$hwnd = WinGetHandle("Window Title")
$active = WinWaitActive($hwnd)
If $active = 0 Then
    MsgBox(0, "title", "error could not make window active")
    Exit
EndIf
ControlClick($hwnd, "", "", "left", 1, 116, 78)

You should really place in a control to click, as well.  Else, I believe you are clicking at a point within the focused control.  And those coords may be outside of the bounds of that control, effectively clicking nothing.

very good advice, jdelaney. That could be your problem quarqo, if it is not because the window is not active.
