Catching Window Events From Other Applications

[tphant0m]

Hi,

Im trying to have AutoIT run a function when it detects a 'Button Click' of a certain button on a certain application.

I think i need to be using the PeekMessage() Function from the Win32API to to the thread message queue and look for messages from WM_MOUSEFIRST to WM_MOUSE last to pick up all mouse events, then loop thru those and try figure out which is a click, then work out if the click was on the button.

However im hoping for something easier or even an example on how to read messages and events occurring in non AutoIT windows.

Any suggestions?

I too have been searching for a way to grab that mouse click and determine what window it was in and what button was pressed

Take a look at http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.ph...&hl=Au3Info

The macrobuilding scripts may be a avenue to look at.

It looks promising but i was hoping for a non DLL way of doing what you want to do.
