ControlClick() Timing

[JupiterAV]

I am attempting to use a game controller / joystick to interface to a control window. The control window has some button controls that I can successfully "click" with

   Local $hWnd = WinWaitActive("Control Window", "", 10)
   ControlClick($hWnd, "", "[ID:38]")

 

The problem is the button needs to be held down for a few hundred milliseconds to properly register in the software (it appears to have a software denounce of some kind).

Is there a way to use the above command and "hold it" for a period of time???

If there is not a more elegant solution, I will just have to get creative and manipulate the window and mouse cursor / MouseDown Sleep MouseUp etc.

Maybe it is your code if you can show us...

The above code is it.... I have run just the above code on its own to troubleshoot.

There are three "controls" / buttons in the window that need to be "clicked" 

one is ID: "38" , it works fine as it is not "debounced" ID: 36 and ID:37 do not work. Using the mouse, the buttons for 36 & 37 needs to be pressed for a few hundred milliseconds (almost a full second) to register correctly.

MouseClickDownDelay & SendKeyDownDelay do not appear to affect the "ControlClick()" function.

@JupiterAV What precisely are you trying to automate with this joystick control?
