ControlClick Issue with Vista

[bmueller]

Hi folks,

i wrote a little script to switch the primary monitor in Vista.

I need to click at the control

[CLASS:Monitor32; INSTANCE:2]

which changes to

[CLASS:Monitor32; INSTANCE:1]

after a click on it (the other monitor gets INSTANCE:2 then).

Well, sounds quite easy, bt when i use the following command, the settings dialog is opened but no click is performed:

Run ("RunDll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL desk.cpl")
WinWait("Anzeigeeinstellungen")
WinActivate("Anzeigeeinstellungen")
(...)
ControlClick ( "Anzeigeeinstellungen", "", "[CLASS:Monitor32; INSTANCE:2]")

What did i do wrong?

Thank you very much in advance.

Same problem. Here's a possible solution, not pretty, but it works.

Opt("MouseCoordMode", 2)

Run ("RunDll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL desk.cpl")
WinWait("[CLASS:#32770; TITLE:Display Settings]")
$hwnd = WinGetHandle("[CLASS:#32770; TITLE:Display Settings]")
$chwnd = ControlGetHandle("Display Settings", "", "Monitor322")
$cpos = ControlGetPos($hwnd, "", $chwnd)
WinActivate($hwnd)
MouseMove($cpos[0] + 5, $cpos[1] + 5, 0)
MouseClick("left")

works like a charm. Thanks
