Program blocks automated mouse movement, how to override?

Started by ludocus,

Dear all,

I'm creating this program where the goal is to automate some mouse -click and dragging on an external application.

Now the problem is, this external application is blocking every automate mouse moves, clicks or anything related to using the mouse.

So I figured autoit uses postmessage and user32.dll to move the mouse and that this application blocks these attempts.

Now I'm wondering if there's a different way to move the mouse so it'll go undetected by this external app.

Any other suggestions are welcome to.

Thnx in advance

Hmm, have you tried including 

#RequireAdmin
in your script? Worth a try :)

ludocus,

You carefully speak of "this program", "an external application", "this external application", "this application" & "this external app" without specifying its name. If it is a game it probably has anti-bot protection and we are not going to help you beat it - if it is not, please let us know what it is and then we can look into it. :)

      Mouse click on explorer window...item to click is not displayed on screen
      By davidacrozier
      I am attempting to drag and drop a file from one windows explorer window to another windows explorer window (henceforth referred to as window1 and window2).  I am not using the web.  I have used autowinexp.au3 (taken from LarsJ's automatewindowsexplorer.au3) to give focus (function GetFileFocus)  to a file on window1.   The problem is that sometimes the file with the focus is not displayed on window1 because it is farther down the list than what is displayed in window1.  There are other ways to accomplish this (like copy and paste) but I want to emulate the GUI doing a drag and drop.  I work as a digital forensicator and my task is to examine what artifacts are left behind on move/copy vs a drag and drop.  Please note that when I open window1 and window2 they are on top of each other, so I drag window2 over about 1150 pixels and that part works great.    
      My code is listed below.  Please understand that I have tried several different methods to accomplish this task.  The last one was to estimate that the top of the window1 header is approximately 320 pixels and to multiply the index of the file by 20 pixels since that appears to be the approximate height of individual files using the AutoIT Windows Info tool.  Ideally the program would search window1 for the file name text and provide a mouse position for it.  Or the program would allow me to scroll to where the file name is located.  Any and all ideas are welcome.

      Cannot detect all mouse button clicks - 7 button mouse
      By perlabsrat
      Hello, I have a Logitech MX500 mouse, this has 7 buttons plus a wheel.
      I am trying to figure out how to detect clicks on three of the buttons on this mouse but have been unable to do so. I am not running any Logitech software just the standard Windows 7 driver. The buttons are all working fine but when I try to figure out which button was clicked unable to detect three of the buttons.

      Using this code snippet I am able to see all the button presses with the exception of these three marked by '?'.
      Is there some alternate method for detecting button clicks? I have been searching for example but have yet to find anything.
      Thanks...

      Hey,

      If someone knows how to do this pls help me

      MoveMouse to the windows Tabbed Position
      By Tarakesh
      Hi,
      First of all I would like say infinite thanks to the team involved in designing this great tool.
      Here is my problem
      1. Press windows button
      2. ESC
      3. TAB
      4. It will take me to the first pinned icon in the taskbar
      5. If I I do SHIFT F10 which usually opens context menu like  right click of the mouse.
      6. For one of the application I am using it does not support  Shift + F10 context menu rather it listens to only mouse right click event.
      7. I do a search in a tree view of my application and the search item is selected or focused
      8. For eg

           User1

           User2
           User3
      Now if I search for User1 the tab or focus move to User 1 (Red)
           User1

           User2
           User3
      If I search for User3 the tab or focus moves to User 3
      Now my question is how can I move the mouse automatically go to the focused item on the window. Such that during automation I can issue MoveClick("{RIGHT}") as {SHIFT F10} is not working from the keyboard. It is a java app, unfortunately it is not honoring the right click events from keyboard to open the context

      WinMinimizeAll();
      Send("^{ESC}")
      Sleep(200)
      Send("{ESC}")
      Send("{TAB}")

      the above scripts take the tab to the first pinned icon in the taskbar. Now i want
      MouseMove( "move to tab" selection")

      Regards,
      Tarakesh
