bigbry2k3 Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 I have tried a few different ways to click and activate Google Chrome Version 79.0.3945.88 (Official Build) (64-bit) but for some reason it won't activate the web page. I know this should work because it will click and activate Internet Explorer or any other window I have open but this doesn't click on a Chrome web page to activate it and make it the focus. #include <AutoItConstants.au3> $click = MouseClick("left",14, 165,2,5) ; should activate the window but to make sure I'll check the return if $click <> 1 Then MsgBox(0,"","It didn't click") ;still didn't work so add this line maybe it will activate it MouseDown($MOUSE_CLICK_LEFT) ;nope still no good Anyone have an idea of what I'm doing wrong?

Subz Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Have you tried WinActivate? The code above isn't specific to Chrome, you're basically just clicking x/y coords, although I have tested the code and it worked fine for me, activating Chrome window.

Moderators JLogan3o13 Posted December 23, 2019 Moderators Share Posted December 23, 2019 @bigbry2k3 What exactly are you trying to do in Chrome? There are a couple of UDFs, such as WebDriver and UIAutomation, that will make things much easier for you than point and click. If you could elaborate on what you're trying to accomplish, we can make better suggestions. "Profanity is the last vestige of the feeble mind.

Subz Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 If you want to open a url with Chrome just use: ;~ Get location of Chrome.exe Global $g_sGoogleChrome = RegRead("HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\Chrome.exe", "") If FileExists($g_sGoogleChrome) = 0 Then Exit Run($g_sGoogleChrome & " https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/201204-has-chrome-created-a-way-to-block-click") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
