 |
|
Dear AutoHotkey Gurus,
I wish to automate some programs but their GUI do not have short-cut keys. Seems like only mouse-clicks can be used to control them.
Can someone advise how to automate programs which can only be controlled through mouseclicks? |

Generic request, generic answer...

Use MouseClick... Or Click, Send {Click}, and so on.
Are you sure that even {Tab} isn't available here? What is this crap? |

I have run into some games which have no keyboard shortcuts for quite a few commands. The only recourse is 'clickity click click' all the time... Hell on the RSI ;P

THanks for your suggestions.
The problem with MouseClick is that the GUI buttons' positions are not consistent. How do I ensure that MouseCLick is really click at the right X,Y position? |

Identify the buttons position? |

Use ButtonClick!

What is ButtonClick? Perhaps you mean ControlClick?
It makes sense, if buttons are standard, but won't work if they are drawn (skin, game...).
Now, you can use ImageSearch to locate a button. |

As this is a game, chances are there are no windows API "control" labels for the buttons, the best way to find the different buttons is to use the ImageSearch command. If the UI of the game has transparency this could cause problems however.
