ControlClick - oh dear

[Vitamin]

I am attempting to automate a menu option by using "ControlClick" because I don't think it is a Windows menu. Actually, I'm not even sure how I would describe the menu. What do you call that icon in the top left corner of your IE window? Next to the title bar, for me it is Opera, it looks like a red "O".

Anyway, not knowing how to automate something like that i want to pass a ControlClick to position (11, 11) in the window (which has no Control ID either - blech)

here's my code (i've attempted this on Notepad for practice, FAILURE!!):

winactivate("Untitled","")

ControlClick("Untitled","","","left",1,17,33)

it activates the window, then BAM! does nothing. those coordinates (17, 33) is for the "&File" menu just to see if maybe my idea of a control container is wrong, but it still does not work.

thanks in advance!

If you don't have a ControlID anyway, just use MouseClick() with the coordinate. Be aware of the "MouseCoordMode" option when entering the correct coordinates.

Opt("MouseCoordMode", 2) ;

MouseMove ($pos[0]+10,$pos[1] +10 ,0)

Sleep(200)

MouseClick("left")

Sleep(1000)

Cool!

Well, I hope you don't get "errassed" any more (if that's a bad thing)...

Or, I hope you get "errassed" more (if that's a good thing)...
