MouseWheel not working in loop...

[JohanDev]

Hi there!

I have a question regarding MouseWheel. It works fine at first, but next I need the mousewheel to go down a little bit every time during the loop and that doesn't work.

 

MouseWheel("down",17)

Local $i = 0
Local $x = 0
Local $mouseX = 150
Local $mouseX_plus = 60

While $i < 10
   $mouseXt = $mouseX + $mouseX_plus * $i

   ; Go to and click on the top profile
   MouseMove(1350, $mouseXt, 5)
   MouseClick("left")

   ; Go to and click on the top profile
   MouseMove(1350, 220, 5)
   MouseClick("left")

   ; Click back to profiles
   MouseMove(1270, 50, 5)
   MouseClick("left")

   MouseWheel($MOUSE_WHEEL_DOWN, 5)

   $i = $i + 1

WEnd

To clarify the above a bit more:

The MouseWheel function at the first line works like expected, but next the MouseWheel function in the loop doesn't do anything. I tried everything I could imagine, like changing the figure from 5 to 15 and 30, moving the line right below the while-statement etc etc, but whatever I do the mouse doesn't scroll while in that loop.

$MOUSE_WHEEL_DOWN is not declare anywhere

always put opt ("mustdeclarevars",1) at the beginning of a script, helps to debug

Usually there's a better option than using to mouse commands to automate some task. Perhaps you could provide more details on the program you are attempting to automate.

Needs

#include <AutoItConstants.au3>

or use 'down' line the first line instead of the constant $MOUSE_WHEEL_DOWN

Thanks for the replies, very much appreciated!

I changed 'down' to $MOUSE_WHEEL_DOWN, just because I was so desperate that I tried anything =) so that's not the problem unfortunately..

Now I changed it to the code below:

 

While $i < 10
   MouseWheel('down', 15)
   $mouseXt = $mouseX + $mouseX_plus * $i

   ; Go to and click on the top profile
   MouseMove(1350, $mouseXt, 5)
   MouseClick("left")

   ; Go to and click on the top profile
   MouseMove(1350, 220, 5)
   MouseClick("left")

   ; Click back to profiles
   MouseMove(1270, 50, 5)
   MouseClick("left")

   $i = $i + 1

WEnd

The problem now is that the mousewheel scrolls down only one time in that loop (and one time outside of the loop). So just once weird enough...

here the code i use to test it and it is working fine, so I

opt ("MustDeclareVars",1)
opt ("WinTitleMatchMode",2)

WinActivate ("Mouse")

MouseWheel("down",5)

Local $i = 0

While $i < 2
 
   msgbox (0,"test","test")
   WinActivate ("Mouse")
   MouseWheel("down", 10)

   $i = $i + 1

WEnd

must assume that you are loosing control of the screen you are scrolling

Thanks for the very kind support Nine, appreciated, I will try to see if that's the problem.
