 Posted: Mon Jun 09, 2008 9:05 pm Post subject: [Solved] ControlClick - give X & Y to click known contro |
 |
|
I have a Control that appears in different places depending on machine, resolution, etc...
Currently, I have to use
| Code: | loop, 12 ; # of users in lobby can vary between 1 and 12ish…
{
ControlSend, Control3, {Up},Lobby
Sleep, 1
}
|
… or something like this to move the highlight bar up to the top row so that I can start scanning highlighted User Names…
In an effort to speed up the script, I’d like to quickly send a ControlClick to the top row of the Control (relative x and y in the control are always the same).
However, it seems that ControlClick takes either a Window Title and Xn Yn relative to the entire window, or a Control and then a button name. My control has no buttons—I simply want to send a click to XAny Y3. Is this possible?

| Appreciate the response... but I don't think coordmode will help because coordmode, relative will set X & Y relative to the entire window, whereas I want to send a controlclick relative to the specific control. For ease of use and debugging, I'm currently WinMoving the window to 0,0 -- but Control3 can be located in slightly different places depending on Screen Resolution, etc. |

This could help... so something like
| Code: |
Coordmode, mouse, relative
ControlGetPos, X, Y,,, Control3, Lobby ; gets X & Y of control relative to Lobby Window
WinActivate, ahk_id%lobby_ID%
SendInput {Click %X%, %Y%}
|
... would work, maybe?
Is there a way to accomplish this by posting a click without the WinActivate command (I am afraid of interfering with the user who will be moving the mouse, clicking, and typing outside of this window)?
Maybe I need something like...
| Code: |
Coordmode, mouse, screen
WinGetPos, X1, Y1,,ahk_id %lobby_id%
ControlGetPos, X, Y,,, Control3, Lobby,,, ; gets X & Y of control relative
X = %X1% + %X%
Y = %Y1% + %Y%
SendInput {Click %X%, %Y%}
|
Control commands seem to be capable of operating in the background, which is what I would like this to do (as much as possible). |

Duh... I should probably be using ControlClick X%x% Y%Y%, ahk_id %lobby_id%
making sure I'm using relative coordinates
instead of SendInput {Click X, Y} |

Its stand alone software-- a game lobby. Can't read text so I wrote an imagesearch function that can scrape the (unreadable) user name text once it is highlighted. I'm just trying to shave a second off the routine-- selecting the initial (top) 20 pixel line would be faster (I think) than ControlSend {up} in a loop, since the software is a bit slow to respond.
There is nothing unique or visible in the control other than its name (Control3), but I'm thinking that I can get the control position relative to the window with ControlGetPos and then use ControlClick. Controls are still very new to me, as is the ability to buffer & balance automated tasks in the background with a user performing simultaneous unrelated tasks as the scripts execute. |

Control3...
| Code: |
loop, 12 ; # of users in lobby can vary between 1 and 12ish…
{
ControlSend, Control3, {Up},Lobby
Sleep, 1
}
|
^ is the same code as I posted in my original post, and it accesses the control correctly (though I hate looping {UP}). I can spy the location of the control as well.
I'm not trying to spy the control's text, as its not viewable anyway (hidden or not), and I had to write a search function to scrape it.
I think I just need to send a
| Code: |
ControlGetPos, RelX, RelY,,,Control3
RelY++
RelX++
ControlClick, x%X% y%Y%, ahk_id %lobbyID%
|
Not sure if I need something like...
| Code: |
CoordMode, Mouse, Screen
WinGet, LobbyID, ID, Lobby
WinGetPos, X, Y,,ahk_id %lobby_id%
ControlX := X + RelX +1
ControlY := Y + RelY + 1
ControlClick, x%ControlX%, Y%ControlY%, ahk_id %lobbyID%
|
.. or not. I geet confused with relative coordinates-- if I use ControlGetPos, can I just do...
| Code: |
SetCoordMode, Mouse, Relative
X++
Y++
ControlClick, x%X% y%Y%, ahk_id %lobbyID%
|
without first activating ahk_id %lobby%
I'll have to experiment. Thanks! |

This seemed to do it. I'm guessing that this is the cleanest way to hit a control without buttons. |

| I will try, but I think that the default behavior for ControlClick is to click the middle point in the control(?), whereas I need to highlight (by clicking) a 20 pixel line at the top of the control. |

why not use the X and Y Options parameters in ControlClick?
| Code: |
;ControlClick [, Control-or-Pos, WinTitle, WinText, WhichButton, ClickCount, Options, ExcludeTitle, ExcludeText]
ControlClick, Control3, ahk_id %lobbyID%, , , , X20 Y20, ,

That's what I had initially tried and I'm wondering if I just screwed up the syntax. I'll give it another shot when I get home.
[Edit] Thanks! |
