lowzix Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 (edited) The monitor is not set as my main screen, and i would appriciate it if there would be any solutions to fix this problem without having to set that monitor to become the main screen. I tried it on my other screen, and it worked perfectly fine, i didn't even have to activate the window i wanted it to click inside, it did that automatically. Now im trying to drag the window over to the second monitor which has a higher resolution (of course i adjusted click coordinates etc.) but it doesn't seem to be working, any ideas?

BrewManNH Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 The parameter for the coordinates are NOT the coordinates of the control, they are supposed to be the coordinates within the control. The center of the control is the default but sometimes you'd need to click somewhere other than the middle of the control so that's when you'd use them. Are you sure that the Control's handle is correct? Are you sure that the title and text are matching, the parameters are case-sensitive so unless they match 100% it won't find the correct window/control to click. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

jdelaney Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 (edited) I'd look up the chrome udf on the sample scripts forum, so you can click on the DOM objects on the page, rather than attempt a relative coordinate.

lowzix Posted January 8, 2015 Author Share Posted January 8, 2015 (edited) Thanks for the answers guys, yes, everything is 100% correctly written in as it did work at my main monitor. other than that, i have no idea what you are talking about BrewManNH as i am not super expert when it comes to this stuff. Thanks for the tips jdelaney, i will be looking into this kind of stuff as it will of course be alot more practical not having to adjust click coordinates when i want the script to be running on different monitors with different resolution etc. Still looking for a temprorary solution though. edit: It is not the actual click coordinates that gets wrong, the problem is that it doesn't even try to click, as the window doesn't get focused, on my other screen it focused the window, it does not do this whilest on the 2nd monitor Edited January 8, 2015 by lowzix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aleph01 Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 OK, I'm being simpleminded here, but have you tried a WinActivate after moving the window to the other screen?_aleph_ Meds. They're not just for breakfast anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
