ControlSend / ControlClick

[jimmer]

Is there anyway for me to use MouseClickDrag or MouseWheel through ControlClick or ControlSend?

Been trying to test it out but I can't seem to figure out if it's possible or if I will need the physical cursor present for those commands.

Actually what it sounds like you are after is as simple as:

AutoItSetOption ("MouseCoordMode" ,1)
WinWaitActive("My Program")
MouseMove(1009, 336)
MouseWheel("down", 50)

You don't have a sample of your code, so I am not sure what the Title would be for the 'WinWaitActive()' command. Regardless open up AutoIt Window Info. Figure the cords of the control you are trying to interact with and if your users are going to be moving your window around on screen. Then set 'AutoItSetOption("MouseCoordMode" ,0)' or set the param to '2'. Do the MouseMove command then MouseWheel.

Without more info, not much else we can do.

This is what I am using for mouse clicks.

$handle = WinGetHandle("FireFox", "")
ControlClick($handle,"","","",1,x,y)

What I am trying to accomplish is for the window to use the mouse wheel while minimized, or would it need the cursor present for the task?

Use the _FF.au3 (firefox) to perform the DOM click on your object.

FireFox was just one of the applications. Is there something that is more universal?

I know that 

ControlClick("","","","BUTTON,clicks,x,y)

but BUTTON seems to only be Left Click, Right Click, Middle Click. But it doesn't have WheelUp or WheelDown.

 

I am wondering if there is any sort of MouseWheel that can be sent to a window that isn't focused with the use of the ControlClick or ControlSend?

 

Edit: Upon further reading, I realize it is not possible to MouseClickDrag without changing focus. I am still hopeful that I can use MouseWheel.

 

Is anyone able to verify this is not possible? I need closure.
