Hi! I'm trying to write a script that will move my mouse incrementally along a menu. This is used to identify scanned pages in order. What I need for the script to do is to first move to a slider to a particular position on the screen, then move left to select the proper entry, and save this mouse position for future reference (this part I already have completed).

Script #2 is where I am having a problem. What I need script #2 to do is to return to the saved mouseposition plus 1 position lower on the screen. The starting position will vary depending upon what location was set in script one, but the distance between page 1 & page 2 will always be the same.

This is what I have come up with so far:


The first part works, but I can't get the second part to work. Any ideas?

Not quite sure what you are trying to do - surely mX is always going to be 54 and mY is always going to be 374? (unless you haven't triggered the "^8" hotkey first, in which case they will be blank)

Anyway, you want to move to "1 position lower on the screen", then you will have to move in the Y direction, no? Probably more than 1 aswell, because this will be 1 pixel. So let's use 10 pixels:

Thanks, I appreciate the help. In testing my original script, it occurred to me that a loop might be more efficient.

For example, pressing ^8 would scroll the screen, and select the first numbered page for that particular scanned image set. Pressing ^8 would trigger the script to scroll the screen, and move to the last selected page plus however many pixels lower on the screen necessary to select the next page.

Each successive press of the ^8 would then duplicate all of the necessary motions to select the next page.

Hi john tuomi,

I had the same problem, not quite understanding when to use the %%

"X/Y The x/y coordinates to move the mouse to, which can be expressions. "


Please read up on how Ahk evaluates expressions.

Edit: oops, missed the 'lower' statement
The above line should be

Ah of course, you don't actually need the % around the var in this one as it is a "can be expressions" command, although my code works too

change x or y's value at the top of the script to make larger or smaller squares change f to increase or decrese speed.
