Hello everyone,

I tried to use search and wiki too but no one exactly matches this request,
since I'm not used to AHK plus in time hurry I decided to make a new tread

Ok here my problem:

I want AHK to simply click between 3 positions in an 60s time interval.
But it needs to be based on Coordination not simply record and click.
So how do I figure out how to actually set the coords? It's kinda hard
to understand if you never used this progam lol...

The Program is internet Explorer

Thank you very much for help guys
regards

If you use the Window Spy tool that comes installed with AHK, that will tell you the position of the mouse both relative to the screen, and also relative to the window.

This should give you the co-ords you need to click

Are you wanting to click on specific elements on a webpage?

Yes Actually its something like this

show pages:

<1-60> <61-120> etc...

the Script should loop between the content on a 60s base.

so what Ive got so far is:

#IfWinActive Site XYZ - Windows Internet Explorer
ControlClick, x818 y931,
return
(delay??)
ControlClick, x855 y931,
return
(delay??)
(loop??)

The (??) means I dont know yet how to set this command how it should

Thanks to Ocean alleady the Spy tool is really good

OceanMachine's answer is going to be the easiest to understand. However, the most effective way is going to be using COM (since you're using IE) or Javascript. For example, if your at Google.com and you navigate to the following code, you will click on the Google Search button:

Actually my fault was that i first started for screen coords, then changed
on active window and didnt see the syntax change, as those have 2
different parameters. It is very difficult to get sorted with this tool but
thanks for your advice friend it helped me to find my error.

My script is working very well now, it launches Internet explorer logs in to
the verification website, logs in automatically and swaps between sites as I want it.
