ControlClick only works when mouse is hovering over it

[smcombs]

Not sure why this is must be the game. Though I would try my hand at making a bot not sure if thats allowed to be discussed here but please let me know if not. Everything works pretty well, but my controlclick does not seem to work unless my mouse is hovering over the area to be clicked, same whether the window is active or unactive. Tried doing a controlfocus and that didnt seem to work, anywho here is my code:

CODE

HotKeySet("{ESC}", "Terminate")

$handle = ControlGetHandle("game", "", "[CLASS:AfxWnd42; INSTANCE:5]")

$handle2 = ControlGetHandle("game", "", "[CLASS:AfxWnd42; INSTANCE:2]")

While 1

Sleep(100)

If PixelGetColor(739, 289) = 0xFF9933 Then

Controlclick("game", "", $handle, "left", 1, 615, 30)

Else

Sleep(1000)

$coord = PixelSearch(30, 52,644, 377, 0x009900,0,2)

If Not @error Then

Controlclick("game","", $handle2, "left", 1, $coord[0], $coord[1])

;MouseClick("left", $coord[0], $coord[1])

Else

Controlclick("game", "", $handle, "left", 1, 657, 29)

EndIf

EndIf

WEnd

Func Terminate()

Exit

EndFunc

Let me know of any ideas why this may be. Thanks

ControlClick will work with a valid handle and proper coords. I can't tell if you get a valid handle but im not sure PixelSearch is giving you the coords you think.

Have a look firstly at the MouseCoordMode option, then do some testing with MouseGetPos/MouseMove.

I would suggest using a ConsoleWrite to see if yo have the correct coords.

From my experiences there are some non-standard controls that will not respond to clicks etc. unless the mouse cursor is first possitiond over the control. If this is the case then you need to use MouseMove() to position the cursor over the control. The control will then usually respond to ControlClick() or MouseClick().
