I have an issue where one of my secondary monitors keeps getting disconnected because of a new "feature" in Windows 7 that disables monitors that are no longer attached. Its a somewhat common issue, more details here:

The fix is to go to Display Properties and click the "Detect" button, as in this screenshot:

I'm wondering if there's some way for AutoHotKey to click this "Detect" button, or otherwise activate the functionality? Ideally it would click it without having to launch the window, but launching the window is fine too.

Thanks for any help.

Update: here's the button as Winspector Spy sees it:

Unfortunately there's no Post Message when I click the button.

Download and run "ControlClickStalk" from the 'window control tools' link in my sig. Then click the checkbox a few times, and post the log it generates. We'll go from there

Hmm. I'm running your utility, but its not generating any log file.

Should it generate it whenever I click something?

I figured it out. Spectacularly easy, I heart AHK:

- use Winspector Spy to find the window name

- click the button (in my case, "Screen Resolution")

- note the button name (in my case, "Button1")

Then the command is:

ControlClick, Button1, Screen Resolution
