Send Mouse Key? [Resolved]

[Rogier]

Hi,

Can I send a mouseclick?
Like

SendKeys "{Space}"

is for keys from your keyboard.....but how can I do this from the mouse?

Thanks

[dglienna]

you can call a control's click event like a subroutine. (maybe I should give you a goofy answer instead)

[Rogier]

LOL

[dglienna]

we don't need replies to the things that you don't know.

[Rogier]

OK I'm really sorry......I was typing and meanwhile I thougt: "no, that's not the answer"
Sorry

Do you just want to send a click, or is there a target?

[dglienna]

is it your program, or do you want to click on someone else's program? btw - You could just use {Enter} instead of a click.

Look into the mouse_event API, which will simulate a mouse click where ever the cursor is.

If you want to target a specific window, use the SendMessage API to send the WM_LBUTTONDOWN, and WM_LBUTTONUP messages.

[Rogier]

I want to click in an other window.
Like: you press a button and 3 seconds later the mouse clicks one time, doesn't matter in what windows you are.

[Megatron]

Two methods (as described in my earlier post).

Method 1)
-Use FindWindow to get the handle of the window
-If necessary, position the cursor via SetCursorPos
-Invoke the mouse_event() API to click the mouse

Method 2)
-Get the handle of window via FindWindow
-Send the WM_LBUTTONDOWN and WM_LBUTTONUP messages to it

[Rogier]

hmmm......I think I am missing some files..........because I don't see one of that API's

[Megatron]

Which one do you need?

[Rogier]

I don't know. Thanks for your help, I'll call this trheat Resolved, it isn't but that doesn't matter anymore.

thnx

If you can get the declarations, this should do the trick

handle = FindWindow("ClassName", "WindowTitle")
If Handle Then
    PostMessage handle, WM_LBUTTONDOWN, MK_LBUTTON, 0
    PostMessage handle, WM_LBUTTONUP, MK_LBUTTON, 0
End If
