How do I send a Button Click with GUICtrlSendMsg() to myself?

 

Thanks!

No idea what you actually want to accomplish. Perhaps you could post some code showing what you have tried? Why do you need to use GUICtrlSendMsg?

Old thread, but relevant for anyone stumbling across this.

GUICtrlSendMsg() isn't designed to simulate mouse clicks.

Use ControlClick() instead:

; create some GUI
$MyGUI = GUICreate( "Test-GUI", ... )
$MyButton = GUICtrlCreateButton( "The button", 10, 10, ...)

etc.

; simulate a click on 'The button':
ControlClick( $MyGUI, "", $MyButton )

@Fingo  Not precisely true.  It could be appropriate under certain circumstances to send a message to self...

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

Global Const $MK_LBUTTON = 1

Example()

Func Example()
  Local $hGUI = GUICreate("Example", 300, 200)
  Local $idButton_Close = GUICtrlCreateButton("Close", 210, 170, 85, 25)
  GUISetState()

  Sleep(1000)  ; leave some time to see the GUI

  GUICtrlSendMsg($idButton_Close, $WM_LBUTTONDOWN, $MK_LBUTTON, 0x00030003)
  GUICtrlSendMsg($idButton_Close, $WM_LBUTTONUP, $MK_LBUTTON, 0x00030003)

  While 1
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
      Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, $idButton_Close
        ConsoleWrite("Closing GUI" & @CRLF)
        ExitLoop
    EndSwitch
  WEnd
EndFunc   ;==>Example
