MouseClick


Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

Quick question about right click. I have this application that takes no key shortcuts and I have a list of files to select from. I select the file and I have to right click on that file to select some options. Now, I can get everything done except I do not know how to make the mouse cursor move to the selected file so I can give it a MouseClick("right") function.

I hope I am clear... any ideas are appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

If you know how many over or what not, you might try Send("{Tab 4}") or Send("{Down 4}") ; Send("{Right 4}") or whatever ... the "4" you see is the number of times to send that particular command.

Hope this gives you some ideas... maybe someone else has a better idea, I know there is a windows menu option you might look at too in the help file.

Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt... If you're lacking in that, do us all a favor, and step away from the computer.

No, the thing is every single time the selected file is different and located on the different position. I can do a search for the file and select it that way but then the mouse cursor is somewhere on the screen and the MouseClick("right") is over different area. I do not think a Macro would work either since the cursor is in different places. I was wandering if there is a command in AutoIT to bring cursor to selected area? That would be safest and sure to work.

Thanks for your input and any more ideas would be greatly appreciated!

I found it:) The right solution for me was
Send("{APPSKEY}")

Cheers!

If you can find the position of where you want to rightclick you could use MouseClick (see help file for use)
