KeyPress = Mouse Press Same for release.

caramen · March 13, 2019

Hello guys,

Some of my téléphone operators. Are not working with mouse. It s faster for them to use only keyboard.

I would like to do somthing for one of there team to be able to do a MouseDown ('Left') When they pressDown the key Q.

I got a sample ready but i am not sure i am doing it the best way. ALso it is not reacting as wanted. I guess it s blocking somehow.

#include <Misc.au3>

Local $hDLL = DllOpen("user32.dll")

While (1)
   If _IsPressed("51", $hDLL) Then
      ;If _IsChecked Then
            While _IsPressed("51", $hDLL)
               Do
                  MouseDown ("Left")
               Until Not _IsPressed("51", $hDLL)
                  MouseUp   ("Left")
            WEnd
      ;EndIf
      EndIf
   Sleep(5)
WEnd

To be the most clear as possible i want my key "Q" controling the left mouseclick exactly as if it s the left mouse button.

-I want to be able to keep key pressed to be able to select some texte. Like with double click etc...

BTW i added the DO loop for testing purpose and it 's pretty same with or without it.

Maybe try a HotKeySet("q", "MouseClickNow")

caramen · March 13, 2019

Aww this is the point doing a click is much easy that press left click and hold until i release my key xD

And unfortunatly this is what i want 😛

For one you will need to make it either a CTRL + Letter combo or maybe an un-used F - key

otherwise youll be screwing up all kinds of documents

2. you are calling mouse down repeatedly

#include <Misc.au3>

Local $hDLL = DllOpen("user32.dll")
Local Const $F7 = "76"
While (1)
    If _IsPressed($F7, $hDLL) Then
        If _IsChecked() Then
            MouseDown("Left")

            Do
                Sleep(100)
            Until Not _IsPressed($F7, $hDLL)

            MouseUp("Left")
        EndIf
    EndIf
    Sleep(50)
WEnd

Func _IsChecked()
    Return True
EndFunc   ;==>_IsChecked

With LCTRL + S

#include <Misc.au3>

Local $hDLL = DllOpen("user32.dll")
Local Const $S_KEY = "53"
Local Const $LCTRL = "A2"
While (1)
    If _IsPressed($LCTRL, $hDLL) AND _IsPressed($S_KEY, $hDLL) Then
        If _IsChecked() Then
            MouseDown("Left")

            Do
                Sleep(100)
            Until Not (_IsPressed($LCTRL, $hDLL) AND _IsPressed($S_KEY, $hDLL))

            MouseUp("Left")
        EndIf
    EndIf
    Sleep(50)
WEnd

Func _IsChecked()
    Return True
EndFunc   ;==>_IsChecked

Also don't forget to close user32.dll when you are done with it...

caramen · March 14, 2019

@Bilgus First thanks for your help.

and now. If i want to improve the tool.

I am falling right into an new issue.

The purpose goal is to to do a real click on the Q key.

So to be confortable i want to made them able to use both thing together to let them choose what do they want to use and even both together... left click AND/OR Q.

That mean If someone is selecting some text with Q he can directly click with left click on anythign while he is keeping Q holded. And i want to exit my Do loop after the mouse detection but i can get that work.

It is really a simple goal tool but it s really more complicated than i expected before to do lol....

Look i did that so ...

With that code : i have no msg box so i am not out from my Do i dont know why.

#include <Misc.au3>

Local $hDLL = DllOpen("user32.dll")
Local Const $Q_KEY = "51"
Local Const $LC = "01"

While (1)

    If _IsPressed($Q_KEY, $hDLL)  Then
            MouseDown("Left")

            Do
               Sleep(100)
               If _IsPressed($LC, $hDLL) Then
                  Do
                     Sleep(100)

                  Until Not _IsPressed( $Q_KEY , $hDLL )
                  MouseDown("Left")
               EndIf
            Until Not _IsPressed($Q_KEY, $hDLL)
            MsgBox (0 , "" , "" )
            MouseUp("Left")

    EndIf

    Sleep(50)

WEnd

And witht that code i have my message box so i understand what is happenning but i just cannot found a solution to make me exit my Do loop anyway... I tryed so much combinason of technique but i just cant figure out how to do.

#include <Misc.au3>

Local $hDLL = DllOpen("user32.dll")
Local Const $Q_KEY = "51"
Local Const $LC = "01"

While (1)

    If _IsPressed($Q_KEY, $hDLL)  Then
            MouseDown("Left")

            Do
               Sleep(100)
;~             If _IsPressed($LC, $hDLL) Then
;~                Do
;~                   Sleep(100)

;~                Until Not _IsPressed( $Q_KEY , $hDLL )
;~                MouseDown("Left")
;~             EndIf
            Until Not _IsPressed($Q_KEY, $hDLL)
            MsgBox (0 , "" , "" )
            MouseUp("Left")

    EndIf

    Sleep(50)

WEnd

If the best world i would like to have the second code working as expected.

The best way to try this code. Is to open a new paint document and try the script. You will notice first code is working like a charm.

Second code isn't wrking. If i push Q Then i release Q it will keep the mouse down since we are not going out from the Do for unknow reason.

It s like i cannot detect 2 action one after one. I have to first release one then detect an other or it doesn't work.

I also tryed that : But i am not more able to drag any folder witht hat.

#include <Misc.au3>

Local $hDLL = DllOpen("user32.dll")
Local Const $Q_KEY = "51"
Local Const $LC = "01"

While (1)

    If _IsPressed( $Q_KEY , $hDLL ) Or _IsPressed( $LC , $hDLL )  Then
            Sleep ( 200 )
            MouseDown("Left")
            Do
               Sleep(100)
;~             If _IsPressed($LC, $hDLL) Then
;~                Do
;~                   Sleep(100)
;~                Until Not _IsPressed( $Q_KEY , $hDLL )
;~                MouseDown("Left")
;~             EndIf
            Until Not _IsPressed($Q_KEY, $hDLL) Or Not _IsPressed($LC, $hDLL)
;~          MsgBox (0 , "" , "" )
            MouseUp("Left")
    EndIf

    Sleep(50)

WEnd

You have that MouseDown inside a loop again for every MouseDown you need a MouseUp

If _IsPressed($Q_KEY, $hDLL)  Then
            MouseDown("Left") ;MOUSEISDOWN

            Do
               Sleep(100)
               If _IsPressed($LC, $hDLL) Then
                  Do
                     Sleep(100)

                  Until Not _IsPressed( $Q_KEY , $hDLL )
                   ;MOUSEISDOWN STILL
                  MouseDown("Left")  ;MOUSEISDOWN AGAIN
               EndIf
            Until Not _IsPressed($Q_KEY, $hDLL)
            MsgBox (0 , "" , "" )
            MouseUp("Left")
    EndIf

Don't put them in loops like that without a MouseUp First

But the msgbox is in a bad place anyways it needs to be after that MouseUp

By using 'Q' you are going to be typing QQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQ

all over every window

it either needs to be CTRL-Q or something like a F-Key

otherwise you'll need a low level keyboard hook and its too much like a keylogger to be posted here

Read after coffee

Bilgus · March 14, 2019

He can't click with 'Q' held because thats like trying to left click while the left mouse button is held down with adhesive tape

caramen · March 14, 2019

I know about the Q spam and it s not a problem in my case dont worry.

The message box is just here to know if i go further after my Do....loop. And I am not.

Do you think io have to use _WinAPI_SetWindowsHookEx ? I know we cannot discuss of that kind of code here but until we dont post code may you can advise me ?

Bilgus · March 14, 2019

You leave it stuck in the loop

lets separate it into two code paths

#include <Misc.au3>

Local $hDLL = DllOpen("user32.dll")
Local Const $Q_KEY = "51"
Local Const $LMOUSE = "01"
While (1)
    If _IsPressed($LMOUSE, $hDLL) Or _IsPressed($Q_KEY, $hDLL) Then
        If Not _IsPressed($LMOUSE, $hDLL) Then
            MouseDown("Left")

            Do
                Sleep(100)
            Until Not (_IsPressed($LMOUSE, $hDLL) Or _IsPressed($Q_KEY, $hDLL))

            MouseUp("Left")
        Else ;Mouse is down
            Do
                Sleep(100)
                If _IsPressed($Q_KEY, $hDLL) Then
                    MouseUp("Left")
                    Sleep(200)
                    MouseDown("Left")
                    Do
                        Sleep(100)
                    Until Not _IsPressed($Q_KEY, $hDLL)
                EndIf
            Until Not (_IsPressed($LMOUSE, $hDLL) Or _IsPressed($Q_KEY, $hDLL))


        EndIf
    EndIf
    Sleep(50)
WEnd

@Bilgus Try this code on paint and you will see what happen if you try to press Q down and then release Q.

You will still keep painting. It does not release Q. So issue is same you cannot drag a folder in case you need it.

Bilgus · March 14, 2019

sorry I forgot to remove one of the commands

#include <Misc.au3>

Local $hDLL = DllOpen("user32.dll")
Local Const $Q_KEY = "51"
Local Const $LMOUSE = "01"
While (1)
    If _IsPressed($LMOUSE, $hDLL) Or _IsPressed($Q_KEY, $hDLL) Then
        If Not _IsPressed($LMOUSE, $hDLL) Then
            MouseDown("Left")

            Do
                Sleep(100)
            Until Not _IsPressed($Q_KEY, $hDLL)

            MouseUp("Left")
        Else ;Mouse is down
            Do
                Sleep(100)
                If _IsPressed($Q_KEY, $hDLL) Then
                    MouseUp("Left")
                    Sleep(200)
                    MouseDown("Left")
                    Do
                        Sleep(100)
                    Until Not _IsPressed($Q_KEY, $hDLL)
                EndIf
            Until Not (_IsPressed($LMOUSE, $hDLL) Or _IsPressed($Q_KEY, $hDLL))


        EndIf
    EndIf
    Sleep(50)
WEnd

If you don't care about the key typing everywhere then no need for a hook

caramen · March 14, 2019

Ok even if it s interesting to get it work with a hook ? Let me try your code.

caramen · March 14, 2019

Ok again a new issue.

Look if you click while you're holding. You have to Press Q again to continu to paint. I want to paint when I release the left click without press Q again. hmmm But i 've not read your code may i can do that myself. Let me see.

I am sorry it look like i am requesting your code for me but that's not the case. I just need logic help. Thanks a lot for your time involved.

@Bilgus Look at this little code :

Now i see that i am confused and i dont know how to even try more attemps.

MouseDown ("Left");51
           If _IsPressed( "51" , $hDLL )  Then
            MsgBox(0,"","MouseClick Detected!")
           EndIf

If we do a MouseDown Event. It's like an _IsPressed "51".

So this script is stuck. Becose i want to continu my painting if i drag something but if i drag somthing it's a mouseclick/.

May one of you got sollution for that but it seem i'am trying to do somthing illogic.
