Get mouse Click event without click ?

[MrCreatoR]

Hi,

I need to check the click event of primary mouse button, but without actualy allowing to click.

I mean if a user clicks in some place on the screen, i need to catch that mouse click event (i could use _IsPressed("01")), but the mouse should not click on the current mouse cusror position.

Is it possible?

P.S

I making a Screen Capture program, and i need this to capture image when user clicks on some position on the screen (to get clicked coords).

Make a window in that section of the screen and paint the background of that window with the stuff below the window. Yes?

Hm, i am not sure if we can get Win Handle for background window.. can we?

I need the current hovering control/win handle for two reasons: 1) so i can make a capture of certaing control, 2) to show a frame for the current control.

So if i create a window on that area, the controls that might be near the current control will not be highlighted with the frame.

I don't know your answer but I know the prospeed.dll has a nice screenshot feature, and it's very fast too... Maybe you better use that?

Well, i am not sure if it's better then _ScreenCapture_Capture(), is it?

But thanks anyway...

My problem is not capture the image, i only need to catch mouse click event, but without click process.

Is it possible at all on AutoIt? cause i know that many capturing image programs capable for such functionality, it is interesting what they use for accomplish that.

I think Lazycats Window Finder WM_MOUSEMOVE_FUNC func can be adapted to do what you want.

Ok, here is the solution: _MoseSetOnEvent() UDF!
