alb19542006 Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 I wrote a few scripts using the mouse leftclick and rightclick procedures and recorded the X & Y positions from Auto Reveal. Everytime I reboot, the positions are changed. Is there a solution for this? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks.I don't have the answer but will ask: you did recompile the script after changing/saving it?Is the window position different?? Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators SmOke_N Posted March 28, 2006 Moderators Share Posted March 28, 2006 (edited) What MouseCoordMode are you using? Edit: I didn't notice this was in the V2 forum, are you using V2 or V3? Edited March 28, 2006 by SmOke_N Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt... If you're lacking in that, do us all a favor, and step away from the computer.

I am just running the scripts as scripts, not making executables. The X and Y coordinates seem to change after reboot or after a program install. The coordinates do not change by much....just enough to make the mouse click event miss the proper coordinate. Example: coordinate X=738 & Y=315 then becomes X=738 & Y=322. It seems to only affect the "Program Manager" screen (the main desktop screen - Window Title: "Program Manager). Thanks for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks.I remember something about making an internet explorer window staying maximized everytime I started it.2 things come to mind... a: make the window your preferred size and then hold the ctrl key down when closing the window orb: drag the windows edges to your preferred size to keep the size the same.??

Moderators SmOke_N Posted April 3, 2006 Moderators Share Posted April 3, 2006 I don't know why your using a totally outdated version, but you may want to consider using AuoIt v3, after all it is updated more frequently, and a lot more options to boot.

It's got me scratching my head.......One thing I just did today in fact with one of my scripts was to positon the window and size like this:WinMove,Untitled - Notepad,,0,0,800,800Then I can target the button i want to click no problem. Sure beats the hell out of having the script goSend, {TAB 18} {ENTER} Edited April 3, 2006 by jdumont Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure beats the hell out of having the script goSend, {TAB 18} {ENTER}I think I've got it fixed. I switched to using v3 and using "CommandControl" and "CommandClick" instead of mouse clicks. I did notice that if I don't use "ControlFocus" in v3 the same problem does occur. I hope this is the solution. I will let you know. Meanwhile, thanks to all for all the helpful advice.
