Trouble with Send click to multi windows AT SAME TIME

[Nubie]

Here's my example working

$title = "Just Testing"
$coordx = 10
$coordy = 10
While 1
    $List = WinList("[REGEXPTITLE:(.*" & $title & ".*)]")
    If (UBound($List) > 1) Then
        For $i = 1 To $List[0][0]
            $hWnd = WinGetHandle($List[$i][1])
            ControlClick($hWnd, "", "[CLASS:GeckoPluginWindow; INSTANCE:1]", "left", 1, $coordx, $coordy)           
        Next
    EndIf
WEnd

It's controlclick I tried send to Firefox but NOT AT SAME TIME .ControlClick, it must active each window for do,

Then my trouble: Have anyway can help me send click to windows at same time or don't need active them?

[JohnOne]

First, you cannot send click "at same time" in AutoIt, and second, some applications simply have to be active and have focus before they will accept input.

Also, why has this to be done in multiple windows?

Multiboxing?

Yes I know with my example it can't do at same time. I was think >Multi-Theard combine with send message WM_LBUTTONDOWN (or Controlclick if can send without must active/focus windows) can help me, but I don't know how to do that.

Just my idea for make a simple auto click tool can click to multi windows at same time. My coords just are example

There is no multithreading with AutoIt I'm afraid, and if chrome needs activating to accept automated input, best you might do is try another browser.

[iamtheky]

or multiple scripts each with progressively shorter mouseclickdelay, such that the previous ones are ending their delays as the last one is being executed?

[Bert]

Nom....Nom...Nom....Why do you need to click multiple windows at the same time? I see you want to make the tool. I get that. WHY do you need to do it? That is what I'm asking. I'm trying to educate myself here...

[Nubie]

JohnOne

Yes I'm afraid you're right, depend what window can send click

boththose

You was forgot some window need active/focus before send click

DarthCookieMonster

I saw some autoclick tool just support send click to each target window at same time, then I want try make a tool can send click to all target windows

[iamtheky]

So you can winlist and wingethandle but winactivate and winwaitactive are a bridge too far?

[Nubie]

the important I want must send click at same time. Then how about when a window inactive and a window activing ?

[iamtheky]

control click the ones you can, and hope there is only one left over that has to be active.  I cant think you will have much success activating two windows at the same time.   If many or all are in firefox maybe the ff.au3 UDF would assist in navigations and actions.

[MikahS]

Using the >FF.au3 UDF would make things more clearer I'm thinking.

[Nubie]

Firefox window just is my example, I want do on any target window but thanks your way boththose & MikahS

How about with Named Pipes do WM_LBUTTONDOWN. I found this example on web

expandcollapse popup

;change EventMode
Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1)

;set constants myself to make sure they are correct
Static $GUI_Event_Close = -3
Static $WM_LBUTTONDOWN = 0x0201         ;http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms645607%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
Static $WM_LBUTTONUP = 0x0202           ;http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms645608%28v=vs.85%29.aspx

;create a sample GUI
Global $GUI_Main = GUICreate("PostMessage Testscript", 300, 100)
Global $GUI_Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("press this to initate a click", 5, 5, 290, 42)
Global $GUI_Button2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("this should be clicked automatically", 5, 53, 290, 42)

;register events
GUISetOnEvent($GUI_Event_Close, "EventHandler")
GUICtrlSetOnEvent($GUI_Button1, "EventHandler")
GUICtrlSetOnEvent($GUI_Button2, "EventHandler")

;Custom Events - uncomment these to check if Events occure
;GUIRegisterMsg($WM_LBUTTONDOWN, "CatchWindowMessage")
;GUIRegisterMsg($WM_LBUTTONUP, "CatchWindowMessage")

;show the gui
GUISetState()

;wait for input
While 1
    Sleep(250)
WEnd

;...^^
Func EventHandler()
    Switch @GUI_CtrlId
        Case $GUI_Button1
            ;Send a MouseButtonDown Event followed by ButtonUp at coords x = 150, y = 75 (relative to client area):
            ;PostMessage    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms644944%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
            DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "PostMessage", "HWND", $GUI_Main, "UINT", $WM_LBUTTONDOWN, "WPARAM", 0, "LPARAM", BitOR( 75 * 0x10000, BitAND(150, 0xFFFF)))
            Sleep(50)
            DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "PostMessage", "HWND", $GUI_Main, "UINT", $WM_LBUTTONUP, "WPARAM", 0, "LPARAM", BitOR( 75 * 0x10000, BitAND(150, 0xFFFF)))
        Case $GUI_Button2
            MsgBox(0,"PostMessage Testscript","Button 2 was clicked")
        Case $GUI_Event_Close
            Exit
    EndSwitch
EndFunc

;just to log incomming window events
Func CatchWindowMessage($a_HWnD, $a_MsgID, $a_wParam, $a_lParam)
    ConsoleWrite("Event occured:" & @CRLF & "MsgID: " & $a_MsgID & @CRLF & "wParam: " & $a_wParam & @CRLF & "lParam:    " & $a_lParam & @CRLF & @CRLF)
EndFunc

Nubie,

Answer this simple question: Why are you trying to click in multiple windows simultaneously? What is it that requires these simultaneous clicks?

M23

P.S. As it appears I need to spell it out nowadays - until I get an acceptable answer no-one else reply please.

[Nubie]

I was said I want try do a tool differ with other autoclick tool.

make a autoclick tool is wrong now?

[iamtheky]

What fresh hell is being unleashed by clicking on multiple windows at the same time?  

How about this shirt "AutoIt Forums - Scrutiny is Arbitrary"

<snip> but for Runescape or another game. You could also click multiple windows to multiply the earnings of a survey for money site.

computergroove

Hey, it's cool, I didn't know this. That actions are exacly I want try. But is it do all in same time?

Nubie,

Your response to computergroove is all I needed to know - thread locked.

boththose,

If you do not like the very light touch moderation I try to apply here then you know exactly where to go. And as it is indeed "light touch" I will ignore the fact that you replied even though I specifically asked that people refrained from so doing.

computergroove,

Bravo for giving the idiot fresh ideas.
