More of a bug than something for the Wish List I think:

I'm using ControlClick and ControlSend to automate some windows and it seems like any mouse movement usually results in failure of the ControlClick commands to be sent successfully (presumably since the click was sent to the mouse's real position when moving).

I recalled that there is the BlockInput command, but it doesn't seem to deal with ControlClick, just MouseClick, etc.

Since BlockInput is a built-in OS feature, I don't think there's anything that can be done beyond what's already available.

Also, I'm surprised that moving the mouse during a ControlClick affects the outcome. Since nothing like that has ever been observed or reported, it might be an app-specific issue, in which case turning on BlockInput might solve it for that particular window.

If all else fails, you could use Rajat's SendMessage Tutorial to try to find a message to use as a substitute for ControlClick in this particular app.

Thanks, I'll play with it some more then. Just for the record, it was Dr. DivX that I was trying to automate by clicking various buttons, etc.
