Mouseclick without moving mouse

[Philster]

Hi,

I was wondering how I send a mouseclick to a window (that doesn't have focus), but without moving the mouse. (Scenario could be a internet Explorer window).

I want the mouse to click at a specific set of coordinates.

As far as I can, the ControlClick doesn't allow me to specify where on the control to click. On the other hand, I can't send MouseClicks to a window in the background?

I suppose one solution could be store the "current" mouse-position, move the mouse, click, and move the mouse back? (and how do I deal with the focus?)

Wouldnt that make the window active ?

So why not winactive and then mouseclick ?

Actually I have a "robot" for a game I play, that sends the mouseclick to my game and that doesn't make the window active, and was hoping I could do the same with AutoIt

PS sorry about the late reply, I didn't receive e-mail notifications

Hehe, I don't have any code yet, but I'm searching for the function that will allow me to send a mouseclick to a unfocused window

I've looked at the online documentation and in the examples, but I couldn't seem to find what I'm looking for

I'm thinking your only hope is DllCall() to SendMessage and fire off a WM_MOUSEDOWN and WM_MOUSEUP.

Ahhh ok, I'll try that (though I'm not very well versed in windows-Messages :"> )
