@denissko Welcome to the forum. What have you tried? Your title mentions mouseclick; but if you want to send to an inactive window you need to use the Control* commands. Also, it is a little difficult to offer suggestions when all you're giving us is a 1/2" screenshot and a request for someone to write the script for you. How about a detailed description of the App you're working with, and what the AutoIt Window Info Tool returns about that window?

i have inactive window called "Edit rules" and the checkbox i posted above

by pressing f1 it shud check that checkbox and by pressing f2 in shud uncheck it

heres my script

HotKeySet("F1", "Start")
HotKeySet("F2", "Pause")

While 1
Sleep(500)
WEnd

Func Start()
controlClick("Edit rules","left",196,94,1)
pause()
EndFunc

Func Pause()
    While 1
    Sleep(500)
    WEnd
EndFunc

why it does not work?

Try using this, or another function like it:

_GUICtrlListView_SetItemChecked

_GuiCtrlListView_*
