ControlClick / MouseClick Issue.

[Shinitenshi]

Here is the image search function i use.

Func mySearch($location, $text)
    $fileA = @ScriptDir & $location

    _GDIPlus_Startup()

    $hImageA =_GDIPlus_ImageLoadFromFile($fileA) ;this is the firefox icon use something else if you don't have it.
    $hBitmapA = _GDIPlus_BitmapCreateHBITMAPFromBitmap($hImageA)

    $x = 0
    $y = 0

    ;Func _ImageSearchArea($findImage,$resultPosition,$x1,$y1,$right,$bottom,ByRef $x, ByRef $y, $tolerance,$HBMP=0
    $result = _ImageSearch($hBitmapA, 1, $x, $y, 100, 0) ;Zero will search against your active screen
    If $result > 0 Then
        ;MouseMove($x, $y)
        ;MsgBox(0,"",$x & " " & $y)
        ;TrayTip ( $trayTipTitle, $text, $trayTipTimeout)

        ControlClick($myHWnd,"","","left",1, $x, $y)

        ;MouseClick("left", $x, $y, 1)
    ElseIf $result == 0 Then
        TrayTip ( $trayTipTitle, "NOT FOUND!", $trayTipTimeout)
    EndIf

    _GDIPlus_ImageDispose($hImageA)
    _GDIPlus_Shutdown()
EndFunc

if i do a function call mySearch($fireFoxIcon, $text) and un-comment mouseMove($x, $y) it finds the image and moves to it to the correct location. Now if i use the ControlClick($myHWnd,"","","left",1, $x, $y) it finds the image but  clicks near the coordinates but not exactly where i want them to click.

Any idea why this is happening?

Things ive tried.

1. getting a new image

2. mouseclick instead of controlclick and that works but not what i want.

3. mousecoormod 1 no difference.

I know there are other ways to activate a browser but im just using Firefox icon to test the imagesearch and controlclick.

I do not think controlclick is then the right command as its relative to the control position and your imagesearch is screen relative

Any reason why you do not want to use mouseclick

I would like to use the computer while the script is running.

You haven't given us much information to go on. What process are you attempting to automate? Does it involve a web browser? If so, what's the website?

MouseClick uses screen coords

ControlClick uses client coords

Might look at:

_WinAPI_ClientToScreen

Edit:

I guess I it would actually be:

_WinAPI_ScreenToClient

You're translating your "screen" coordinates to "client" coordinates, so your "controlclick()" has the proper place to click.
