how to move the mouse in a certain window

[indigoblue]

Can someone tell me how i move the mouse in a given window (ideally using the hwnd of the window.) I can't find a way to do this, I need to to do this because the window my macro is running in doesn't always have focus.

Thanks.

Look at MouseMove ( x, y [, speed] ) function and Opt('MouseCoordMode') and WinGetPos()

If your window is active then use Opt('MouseCoordMode') = 0 --> relative coords to the active window

You may get pos oof your window and use MouseMove with position of window + relative position

Unless i've misunderstood it that function is no good to me because it does not allow me to specify which window I want to send mouse movement to. I have tried using mousemove but when i click off the window and it looses focus the mouse movements are disrupted.

Please advise.

TIA.

Your description isn't that great.

Try one of the Control* functions.

Otherwise use WinSetOnTop...

Sorry.

I'll try to explain fuller - please accept apologies if i have been too vague.

I run five instances of the same program. The programs run on the desktop and are arranged so i can see them all at the same time, but obviously only one of them can have focus.

I have a seperate macro for each of the five instances which i need to run at the same time. So the problem isn't that I don't know how to make a window have focus. It is that at any one time there will be at least four windows that don't have focus that I want a macro to be running in.

I hope that has made it clearer.

TIA for any further advice.

Well your mouse cant be in 5 places at the same time....

You need a single script to act as a dispatcher, timesharing between the instances of the application.

A faint hope for what you are trying to do might be something like _MouseMovePlus(). I've never used it, but I believe it was described as being able to do mouse movement and clicks inside minimized windows. So maybe that would work...

Yes, you need to only be running one script, but are you sure that you must use the mouse? Take a look at the Control functions like xcal mentioned. If you must use the mouse, then consider changing the title of each window as they startup so that you can control them individually.

WinSetTitle ()

loraevil86,

This is the AutoIt forum - I suggest you post on the AHK forum for help with that script.
