Mouseclick for inactive window - (Moved)

[alexk345]

I have several instances of testing program and i want to run concurrent test on them. 

So i need a way to click on the links on them.

Tried  controlcick and it need active window to work.  I tested with simple click anywhere on window. it get registered only if window is activated.

Tried Post message , Sendmessage, then dont work at all even window is activated.

Func _PostMessage_Click($hWnd, $X = -1, $Y = -1, $Button = "left", $Clicks = 1, $Delay = 10)
    If Not IsHWND($hWnd) And $hWnd <> "" Then
        $hWnd = WinGetHandle($hWnd)
    EndIf

    If Not IsHWND($hWnd) Then
        Return SetError(1, "", False)
    EndIf

    If StringLower($Button) == "left" Then
        $Button = $WM_LBUTTONDOWN
    ElseIf StringLower($Button) == "right" Then
        $Button = $WM_RBUTTONDOWN
    ElseIf StringLower($Button) == "middle" Then
        $Button = $WM_MBUTTONDOWN
        If $Delay == 10 Then $Delay = 100
    EndIf

    $WinSize = WinGetClientSize($hWnd)
    If $X == -1 Then $X = $WinSize[0] / 2
    If $Y == -1 Then $Y = $WinSize[1] / 2

    $User32 = DllOpen("User32.dll")
    If @error Then Return SetError(2, "", False)

       For $j = 1 To $Clicks
        DllCall($User32, "int", "PostMessage", "HWND", $hWnd, "uint", $Button, "WPARAM", 1, "LPARAM", _MakeLong($X, $Y))
        Sleep($Delay)
        DllCall($User32, "int", "PostMessage", "HWND", $hWnd, "uint", $Button + 1, "WPARAM", 0, "LPARAM", _MakeLong($X, $Y))
     Next

    DllClose($User32)
    Return SetError(0, 0, True)
EndFunc
 

Any expert here in this area to help? I must make it work. Because without it it takes 1 sec for window to get activated in slow machine. So i have to wait 8 sec for 8 instance. Not acceptable.

Let me know. 

thanks very much.

Would it work for you, if you could extract the link and use it elsewhere, instead of cliking in it? Im not saying im able to do it, but i got that idea as a possible workaround.

I have created empty html page with toggle button which change color on click and also click on anywhere page it will popup message box saying its clicked.

Controlclick work if windows active. I want to click that page without it getting activated.  So far nothing happening if window is not activated.

Postmessage call dont work even windows activated. No error message returned on Dllcall.

so i need autoit experts advise.
