I can't seem to find if the information given from WinSpector is from the top left of the control, or based on screen size or what.

I send a PostMessage, 0x201 (left mouse button down) followed by PostMessage, 0x202 (left mouse button up) to a location in an IE browser.

Should that command work regardless of screen size/resolution, or are my clicks going to be off for another user?

If they will be off, is there any way to fix this?
If they should not be off, what could I be doing wrong that would cause my clicks to not be working.

Sorry if any of this is unclear. If you have questions or need additional info please ask.

why are you using postmessage for this? Can you use ControlClick instead? that gives you control (via CoordMode) of the window/screen issue. It's also much easier to read and understand.

I was hoping that this was not as dependent on x,y coords, but it appears I was wrong about that. Also I was just trying to learn a little about PostMessage as I have never used it before.

Also, if it matters I have embedded the browser in a GUI via COM which has helped some. I think I might just go about this via ControlClick.

Thanks!

Engunner's right; postmessage is overkill for this task. For IE, I normally use a combo of Winactivate, ControlFocus, and Click. The classNN for the main IE window is usually Internet Explorer_Server1



If the code runs too fast, just insert delays (Sleep, xxx) between the lines.

BTW, IE is actually more AHK-friendly than Firefox.

wrong method al together
but hey what do i know
