MouseClick() doesn't work following WinActivate()

[es1984]

MouseClick() is not working following the use of WinActivate(), whilst the mouse moves to the correct location the click action does not appear to action. Code as follows:

#RequireAdmin
Opt("MouseCoordMode",0)
WinActivate("wePresent WiPG-1000" , "")
MouseClick("left",267,11,2,1)

If i remove the WinActivate() command and switch to absolute coords as follows, it works.

#RequireAdmin
Opt("MouseCoordMode",1)
MouseClick("left",400,400,2,1)

Why is use of WinActivate() resulting in this issue? How do I overcome.

Thanks

The title your using is wrong thus it can't find the window. Try this:

#RequireAdmin 
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>
Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2) 
Opt("MouseCoordMode",0) 
WinActivate("wePresent" , "") 


If WinActive("wePresent") Then ; Check if wePresent is currently active.
    MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "WinActive" & @CRLF & "wePresent is active.")
Else
    MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "WinActive" & @CRLF & "wePresent is not active. Look in the help file for 'Window Titles and Text (Advanced'")
EndIf


;MouseClick("left",267,11,2,1) ;commented out for now to verify if you can activate the window or not. 
;once you can activate the window comment out the If statement above and remove the comment for the mouseclick.

I added Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2)  to look for a substring of the window.

"We present is active" displayed successfully, however same effect when if statement is commented and the mouseclick() uncommented; mouse moves but does not appear to click.

I copied the full title from 'Window Info'. Why do you suspect it is incorrect?

Thanks

Use controlclick...skip the inaccuracy of attempting to click coords...only game automation needs click coords (99% of the time, at least).

oh, ok...try using mouse move using the mouse coords you have for mouse click and see if the mouse goes to the correct place. It may be moving to the wrong position.
