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. :)

      Get the position or move the mouse to the selection
      By Tarakesh
      I have a situation where the desktop is designed in java swings. The nodes JTree is not allowing me to do checkbox selection using "spacebar". I am able to navigate through the nodes using up, down arrow and a tab. When I reach to the desire node selection, mouse left click is not working due a flaw a JTree core. However since it is selected, if mouse cursor auto moved to the position of the selection and send a "click"  then it should be solved. Any ideas much appreciated. 
      the problem with having fixed coordinates are the main windows is divided to 2panels where right panel containing this JTree can be expanded or shrink-ed.

      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...
