Need Help adjusting my mouse click to different screen sizes

[Griffin0001]

Hi everyone, i have just finished my script, but when i run it on a different PC with a different size click coords change. I did an adjustment for clicking into the window, took the relative coords of the window i want it to click like that example:

AutoItSetOption("MouseCoordMode",0)

 

WinWait("program name")

WinActivate("program name")

MouseClick("primary", 211,322,1,5) 

But nothing changes so im just wondering what can be wrong.... i tryed many different things and nothing..... Can someone help me please???

Welcome to the forum.

However, you have posted in the wrong section, you want General Help & Support (GH&S).

I have reported it to be relocated, so don't start another topic the same there, just wait for this to be relocated.

P.S. meanwhile, you could look at WinGetPos, @DesktopHeight and @DesktopWidth etc in the Help file.

[Griffin0001]

Thanks for your answer. But i tryed this options and still dont work, The strangest thing is that the width is adjusted but the height is not.... i dont understand why.

I'll see if I can find some of my old code, but what I had previously done was, instead of using coordinates, I used the % of screen, for example...

my laptop resolution is 1600x900, so instead of saying center is 800, 450. I would put 0.5 * @desktopWidth, 0.5 * @desktopHeight

 

Another thing to make sure of, is that the program is running the same resolution on both computers.

If you could provide us with the script that you're having issues with, that is a great help as well.

Thanks for the tip, I will try that but how to get the % of my screen?

[Sori]

It's all in the mathematics for that one.

You would have to do something like...

"What % is coordinate of screen_resolution?"

is   %
of  100
 

let's say 400 of my screen's width (1600)

What % is_400 of_1600?

400        ?

1600      100

cross multiply

400 * 100 = 40,000

then divide

40,000 / 1600 = 25

25% or 0.25

A pixel is a pixel whatever resolution you are on.

If you use positions relative to a window you should not have problems.

[Griffin0001]

Thanks for the answer, John i use positions realtive to a window and even that i still have that problem..... the problem is the hight of the window, thats the only thing that is not adjustet and cant understand why....

[Griffin0001]

Got the % but how to set it as a click ? can you write me an example please?

[JohnOne]

If the height of the window is different, can you not just set the height to what you want?

[Griffin0001]

When i set it on my pc, it runs perfectly and has no problems, but when i use it on diferent pc the problem appears and cant find a solution and need the scripts running on friday..... dont know what to do to solve that.

[JohnOne]

It's a really poor way of scripting application windows.

What is the app, there is 99.99% chance of better way.

[Griffin0001]

Thats one of the script codes, im really new at that so dont laugh at the bad syntax and coding of the things but may help you to get me a solution. I really apreciate help.

First, you should not declare functions in a loop.

Nor Options

Here are some corrections to your code., but still you have not answered my question about your ultimate goal. This sort of messing around with mouse clicks is really for last resort coding, but if you insist upon it, you might also want to look at the option PixelCoordMode too.

AutoItSetOption("MouseCoordMode", 0); This does not belong in a loop like below

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $Here
            
            While 1

                WinWait("window name")
                WinActivate("window name")
                MouseClick("primary", 211, 320, 1, 5)
                WinWait("window name")
                WinActivate("window name")
                MouseClick("primary", 377, 326, 1, 5)
                Sleep(1500)

            WEnd

        Case $F2
            ;"{F2}" Unsure what this is supposed to do
            Exit 1


    EndSwitch
WEnd

Func stop()
    Exit 1
EndFunc   ;==>stop

Func start()

EndFunc   ;==>start

[Griffin0001]

Well the scripts im doing are for  severall programs which need multiple daily  clicking, so to avoid that we want to set a script to do it. But as it needs to run on several pcs we need to do that auto screen size set, so the clicks we make are at the same coords dispite the size change. Id just want to know if theres even a different way to do that program, maybe with the color od the buttons pressed or something. Ik that in java it can be made an option to automatically click dispite the resolution or the screen size but dont know how to set that func here.

[JohnOne]

ControlClick

etc...

[mpower]

What sort of application are you trying to automate with Clicks? There might be an easier and more reliable way as Simulated Clicks and Key Presses are least accurate and not very reliant most of the time.
