Please help a newbie

[Guest GrimGremlin]

OK when i get to the "installer" window and press the End key nothing happens. Any help would be greatly appreciated

AutoItSetOption("MouseClickDelay", 75)

WinWaitActive ("Installer")

HotKeySet("{End}", "onkeydown")
    
Func onkeydown()
    MouseClick("left", 375, 390, 0)
    MouseClick("left", 375, 390, 0)
    MouseClick("left", 375, 390, 0)
    MouseClick("left", 430, 390, 0)
    MouseClick("left", 375, 390, 0)
EndFunc

MouseClick("left", 375, 390, 0)

MouseClick("left", 375, 390, 0)

MouseClick("left", 375, 390, 0)

MouseClick("left", 430, 390, 0)

MouseClick("left", 375, 390, 0)

With your code you set the number of times the button is clicked to ZERO, not the SPEED.

MouseClick ( "button" [, x, y [, clicks [, speed ]]] )

I guess you wanted to set the mouse to move instantly (speed = 0), but than you have to set the clicks by hand, so the parser gets what you mean.

In general you have to set all the options from left to right, even if you just want to change the last one on the right and keep the rest on default values.

See the AutoIt Helpfile under Function Reference / Function Notes

MouseClick("left", 375, 390, 1, 0)
    MouseClick("left", 375, 390, 1, 0)
    MouseClick("left", 375, 390, 1, 0)
    MouseClick("left", 430, 390, 1, 0)
    MouseClick("left", 375, 390, 1, 0)

Wow I'm stupid.

I tried that but now the script just closes when end is hit. Also it doesnt click anywhere.

You sure, that no buttons are clicked? Maybe they just don`t hit the buttons you want them to. I try to avoid MouseClicks when possible.

Let a MsgBox or something pop open, when you hit END, so you know that it basically works.

Your script ends after the WinWaitActive ("Installer") line. That means that when this window exists and gets the focus, your script sets the HotKey and then right away ends.

How do I get it to stay active?

How do I get it to stay active?

dunno what you want exactly but this example stays active til the END key is pressed:

Global $StayAct=1
AutoItSetOption("MouseClickDelay", 75)
WinWaitActive ("Installer")
HotKeySet("{End}", "onkeydown")
While $StayAct=1
   Sleep(10)
Wend

Func onkeydown()
   MouseClick("left", 375, 390, 0)
   MouseClick("left", 375, 390, 0)
   MouseClick("left", 375, 390, 0)
   MouseClick("left", 430, 390, 0)
   MouseClick("left", 375, 390, 0)
   $StayAct=0
EndFunc

Can you post your current code?

Ok, the way I'd do this is to add a 'While 1...WEnd', like this

WinWaitActive ("Installer")
HotKeySet("{End}", "onkeydown")

While 1
   Sleep(1000)
WEnd

Func onkeydown()
   MouseClick("left", 375, 390, 1, 0)
   MouseClick("left", 375, 390, 1, 0)
   MouseClick("left", 375, 390, 1, 0)
   MouseClick("left", 430, 390, 1, 0)
   MouseClick("left", 375, 390, 1, 0)
   MsgBox(0, "Success!", "Success!")
   Exit
EndFunc

EDIT: Damn JdeB beat me to the punch, JdeB's choice looks a little more complex than it could be. BUT if it works, well...
