GetPosition with ControlListView

[DirkVDB]

I have following code, but due to different screen resolutions/sizes on different PC this might cause undesired actions when working with Mouse Positions

The code should select a certain number of files (from 1 to all of the available files with maximum set to 99)

and then copy them (regular procedure in MyProgram is : right mouse click and selecting first option in drop down options)

ControlListView ( "ActiveProgramWindow", "", "SysListView321", "Select", 1, 99 ) ; works perfect and select the files required (file '0' = Foldername)

MouseClick("right", "145", "450", 1) ; works with position

MouseClick("left", "155", "460", 1)

so I tried this code version(s) to replace the above code (without succes)

; ControlListView ( "ActiveProgramWindow", "", "SysListView321", "Select", 1, 99 ) ; this selects the right files (see above)

; $pos = ControlGetPos( "ActiveProgramWindow" , "", "") ; this return the left top corner of the application, I also tried this with SysListView321

; ControlClick ( "right" , "$pos[0]", "$pos[1]", 1 ) ; try with ControlClick

; MouseClick ( "right" , "$pos[0]", "$pos[1]", 1 ) ; try with simple mouseclick

any ideas ?

I also did some research on how to set the windowsize of the ActiveProgramWindow to predefined settings... without succes to,

so I believe the above code should just have the right syntax to resolve this problem, it only returns or do not return the right mouseposition

I also tried out this, it works but it puts the focus on the same top left corner of the active program window (instead of the SysListView321 window)

; ControlListView ( "ActiveProgramWindow", "", "SysListView321", "Select", 1, 99 & "," & MouseClick("right", "", "", 1))

Your ControlClick is missing the first 3 parameters! The MouseClick is at the top left corner but you need to click inside the ListView.

Maybe something like this

ControlClick ( "ActiveProgramWindow" , "",  "SysListView321","right" );should click in the middle of the listview.

I tried it in different ways :

; MouseMove( "300", "444") as initially, your code moves the focus away from the top left corner position I tried to reposition the focus closer by the listview :-)

; Sleep( 1000 ) and to avoid interaction add some sleep to it :-)

ControlListView ( "ActiveProgramWindow", "", "SysListView321", "Select", 1, 99 )

ControlClick ( "" , "", "SysListView321","right" )

but no way it's keeping doing his thing without listening lol

it's a fact the reaction of the system changes, so I will try this with different syntax, unless somehow there is a build in command somewhere lost... I hope

why these 2 different syntaxes can't work, they would solve many problems :

ControlListView ( "ActiveProgramWindow", "", "SysListView321", "Select", 1, 99 , MouseClick("right") )

ControlListView ( "ActiveProgramWindow", "", "SysListView321", "Select", 1, 99 )

ControlClick ( "ActiveProgramWindow" , "", "SysListView321", "right" );

4:20 am local time:

finally I returned to the simple mouseclicks version, like this :

ControlListView ( "ActiveProgramWindow", "", "SysListView321", "Select", 1, 99 )

MouseClick("right", "145", "450", 1)

MouseClick("left", "155", "460", 1)

Sleep( 1000 )

; While will go till the last file message pops up to overwrite it

While WinActive ( "Target file already exists." )

WinWaitActive( "Target file already exists." )

Sleep( 1000 )

ControlClick( "Target file already exists.", "", "[iD:5100]" ) ; confirms to overwrite the file

Sleep( 1000 )

WEnd

Might be an issue to investigate for the authors of AutoIT ????
