 |
|
hello 
i'm trying to send this simple sequence* to firefox2.
| Code: |
#q::
IfWinActive ahk_class MozillaUIWindowClass
Send {RButton down}{WheelUp}{RButton up}
return
|
the problem is: this script works only if the mouse cursor is over firefox.
if firefox windows has focus but the mouse cursor is over the taskbar, the latter seems to be getting the keystrokes, while firefox sits motionless.
documentation states that "send" works with the active window, and that's what is detected by "ifWinActive", so, i'm quite confused.
could you help me?
*this is useful only with this add-on

yes, but
you are sending Mouse-Clicks,
they happen of course at the position of your cursor. ( Otherwise your mouse woud be almost useless )
Use ControlSend instead. |

please (re)read the help for ControlSend,
the first example targets a control in the active-window, no matter if itīs Firefox or something else.
the second does the same with the lastfound window.
btw: what is RButton-down, Wheeldown, RButton up is supposed to do? ( I have no mouse-wheel on my notebook) |
