ControlClick help needed :)

[reverse]

Hi,

I'd like my script to click 3 times at a defined coords in Photoshop but I just can't figure out how the syntax should look like.

This is how I wrote it but it doesn't work :/

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <Misc.au3>

$Coordss = AskUser()

MsgBox(0, "", $Coordss[0] & "       " & $Coordss[1])


Func AskUser()
    MsgBox(262144, "User Input", "Please click the screen on a certain spot" & @CRLF & "Press OK, and then move your mouse there and click")
    Do
        Sleep(50)
    Until _IsPressed(01)
    $Coordss = MouseGetPos()
    ;MsgBox(0, "Thank You", "Your coords have been stored for later use")
    Return $Coordss
EndFunc  ;==>AskUser



$Input = InputBox("InputBox", "Coords", $Coordss[0] &"," & $Coordss[1])
$aCoords = StringSplit($Input, ",", 2)

Sleep(3000)

ControlClick("[CLASS:Photoshop]","","","left",3,$aCoords[0],$aCoords[1])

Without being able to test...the first param should be the window handle/title/class, and the third should be the ControlID of the control you want to click.  Like I said, I can't test it, but I'm guessing your third param ([CLASS:Photoshop]) may be be the window and not the control.  I'm not even sure if you can inspect the control you want (or if ContrlClick can even interact with it). 

You may end up having to use WinActivate and MouseClick instead...of course the biggest limitation of this is you'll loose any ability to interact with the application while the computer is locked.

I just edited my first post to show you entire script.

But it still doesn't work :/

Yes, add the ID of the control.

This is what I get when I use Window Info

I tried something like this:

ControlClick("[CLASS:Photoshop]","", 6715 ,"left",3,176,255)

but it doesn't work :/

I know I'm doing something wrong but I don't know what :/

Static controls are usually labels, what is supposed to happen?

The script should click 3 times on a text layer (which is at those coords) in photoshop to select all text in this layer.

Then it should paste new text from clipboard and save file (it does that part well).

You could try changing the ID number to the class name (in your example above change 6715 to "Static20"), but I'm not sure it'll work that way either.

It didn't help :/

Maybe I should stay with mouseclick

[tweakster2010]

you could try and add in

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2)

ControlClick("Photoshop","","[CLASS:Static; INSTANCE:20]","left",3,$aCoords[0],$aCoords[1])

I have to use WinTitleMatchMode, 2 to access most of the programs I am using as setting by control alone has been a nightmare for me (user error more than likely)

Corrected typos number 1 reason I edit

why do you want to automate photoshop??? silly question..

Maybe a dump newbie remark of mine.

But had a simular problem with a setup i was trying to controlclick, i had to use #requireadmin

otherwise the script did nothing.

Hope this helps
