I'm using ControlClick, Pos to click in a certain window but it's not working. It's not clicking on a control, sometimes on a javascript though. It just doesn't click for some reason.

The window has to be designed to respond to click messages. What type of window is it? Does it work if you use ControlClick in the old mode?

[Titan]

It's a webpage with javascript. What it does is that it doesn't click, it only clicks when I'm focused on the actual window and clicks wherever my mouse is (not at the set coords). I done ControlFocus and it didn't help, the old ControlClick done the same thing.

Thanks for the info. The new method probably won't succeed where the old method failed. This is because all it does is search for a control at the indicated coordinates and click there, so the effect is the same as the old method.

The only difference is that if there is no control at the indicated coordinates, it will send the parent window the click. I suspect that most parent windows ignore it, but there are probably exceptions.

Thanks.
So is there anyway for me to send click/mouse events to a window when it's minimised or when I'm focused on another window?

If the app is designed to ignore events while it is minimized, there is probably no chance. If you haven't already, you could try using Rajat's SendMessage Tutorial to find out if further automation is possible via Send/PostMessage.
