move mouse cursor to different screens

[confucion]

Hi, can AutoIt command the mouse cursor to jump to different screens? As a tri-screen user, (video stereo 2.1), it's cumbersome to drag from the furthest right monitor to the furthest left monitor. I can't even imagine how some people can stand using 4 monitors!

with more monitors you move the mouse to the left or rigth side of screen and he wipe to the next?

if you do this he shall be wape to the next window , maby you must look with au3info on a other screen what he says ..

sorry i cant test it , i got only 1 ...

jaenster has got a point if you move the mouse to 1024:x (screen res 1024*768) you automatically switch to the next screen, but how can you detect which monitor is in use?

maybe (haven't tried it yet but i will later on) you can try using

mousemove (1500, 300); if the screen goes through
mousemove (300, 300)

i gotta try would be nice to know

[jaenster]

you want detect it ?

[Nuffilein805]

hey, this really works

my res: 1024:768

if i move to 1025:x i am on the second screen, but only if my second screen is to the right

gotta try it with left side

tried it: if its on the left side use negative values to go to the other screen

Just one screen a resolution can mousemove, is not work out resolution!

Look a test code au3

MsgBox(0,"Resolution Real",@DesktopWidth& " x "&@DesktopHeight)

It's maximu your resolution of monitor

[jaenster]

and you can then detect on what desktop you are

[Nuffilein805]

maybe you have to do some calculating, but it works if you use values higher or lower your usual screen res

works as well if your 2nd screen is above or below the other

just change the y-value

[jaenster]

Yeah thats treu , but i dont know how it works , how autoIT works with more monitors , just ask some mod

[Nuffilein805]

you can do it via hotkeys

hotkeyset ("a", "leftscreen"); i say its 1st screen
hotkeyset ("b", "middlescreen")
hotkeyset ("c", "rightscreen")

func leftscreen()
mousemove (300, 300)
endfunc

func middlescreen()
mousemove (1300, 300)
endfunc

func rightscreen()
mousemove (2400, 300)
endfunc

this should work, you just have to change the hotkeys as needed

Thanks Nuffilein805! Seems like you figured it out. Since you don't use negative values, I'm assuming that the 1st left-most monitor starts with X-axis of 0 and then the 3rd right-most monitor ends with X-axis of 3072 when all 3 monitors are using a resolution of 1024x768?

[Nuffilein805]

yes, just tried it this way and it works fine

glad i could help
