Hi thanks for the response;

I tried this exact code and the click wasn't executed on button1.



I also tried this to no avail;




I'm really stumped as to why this isn't working.

I'm 100% that
a) 1 is copied to the clipboard
b)the button I'm trying to click is button1
c)The window exists

Loop - your code only executes once
ControlClick vs Click - understand the difference

Sorry I should have mentioned I used ControlClick also.

The problem is in my expression on the line that uses the clipboard variable, as when I remove that line and run it it executes fine.

Hi bmoore45, welcome to the forum.

In AutoHotkey, the variable named "Clipboard" refers to the clipboard for Windows that is used in common amoung programs
"http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/misc/Clipboard.htm

The following AHk script will show my what is on the clipboard.

For example:
Say I had Notepad open, typed a 1 and used ^c to copy that character to the clipboard.
Pressing F1 with the script running would show me the 1 on the clipboard.

Using a script like the following is kinda weird.


To make it click, you have to copy (or store a value in the variable cliboard, and then run the program "Enter positions" and then run the script. Or at least use a a hotkey to run the few lines.

What is it you are really trying to do?

Hi, thx for the welcome

I'm using an excel document as a makeshift GUI- where "1" entered into an input cell means that its corresponding option will be checked on the program I'm trying to interact with.

This might help:

So if this was read as it was it is now it would generate a daily graph, and not a weekly or a monthly.

So the idea is to copy each pink cell's data and if it contains a '1' then I'll use controlclick to activate what it represents.

Is excel used for any other purpose, or just for the GUI?

Just for the gui

an AHk gui would:

1. look nicer (IMHO)
2. easier to use and faster to open then Excel
3. doesn't need the clipboard

For example:

Thanks, I'm working with gui creator and am finding it very tough to figure out, that was the only reason I tried to work with excel. Guess I have to bite the bullet.. lol

Hi bmoore45,

if you copy a cell in Excel the clipboard always not only keeps the cell content but an additional line break. So your clipboard contains "1\n". You only have to remove the last character to get the desired result.
