InputBox Problem

[Death]

Apparently this code will not work.

$input = Inputbox("Location" , "Enter Location")
MouseClick("left" , $input)

Can anyone shed some light on this?

[monoceres]

MouseClick needs to have the x and the y position. Read how it works in the help file.

I may be wrong but I think your mouse action might not occur cause the inputBox function is waiting for input and the mouse action is not executing till it finishes. By that time the inputox is already gone.

$input = Inputbox("Location" , "Enter Location")

MouseClick("left" , $input)

^ That won't work because, as Monoceres said, MouseClick needs an X and a Y coordinate to click. If you want the mouse to click the box ( in a way where you will be able to automate the typing as well I would suppose ) than just use WinActivate("Location") <-- Being as thats what you named your Input Box window.

I'm not 100% on this , but by creating the inputbox it should already have focus towards the input field , but if not just throw in a ({TAB}).

But back to the mouseclick requirements: Lets say I had something I wanted to click at 100,100 on my screen. I would do this:

MouseClick("left", 100, 100)

Now there are other options and ways of using it , but they can be found in the help file. I'm sure someone beat me to posting to try and help you out , but I'm very bored .

Death,

What exactly are you trying to do with this code? If we knew what the end result is supposed to be, we could make sensible suggestions to help you get there. At the moment I have no idea what these 2 lines are meant to achieve.

Over to you....

like the other says you need the x and the y pos.

so you can do like this

$inputX = Inputbox("Location" , "Enter Location of X ")
$inputY = Inputbox("Location" , "Enter Location of Y ")
MouseClick("left" , $inputX,$inputY)

that should work

You should edit it like the way it says:

$sInput = InputBox("Location", "Enter Location of X ',' Y")
$iInput = StringSplit($sInput, ", " Or "," Or " ")
MouseClick("left", $iInput[0], $iInput[1])

This wiill be faster the creating two seperate boxs but you need to explain that you need a , in between them.

However I did put in "," ", " " " so you can have those all as the delimiter

Try ControlClick() or ControlCommand() function.

[TerarinK]

Both ControlClick() and ControlCommand() need a control id to perform the task unsure if you could just tell the application to focus on nothing and have it execute the click or do the command. You could create a whole gui interface with GuiCreate then create a GuiDummyCreate and make in hide possible even disable it but still call the command it that since but remember to set it a 0, 0 when creating the dummy else you will have some negatives to deal with.
