The control doesn't have to be visible on the screen, but it needs the hwnd of the control. (I haven't tested it on a window yet, just controls.) Use ControlGet, hwndVar, hwnd, ... to get a control's hwnd.

Please test and tell me how it works!

PostClick(hwnd, X, Y, Count=1, Delay=50)
{ ; By Infogulch
	p := y << 16 | (x & 0xffff)
	Loop, %Count% {
		PostMessage, 0x201, 1, p, , ahk_id %hwnd%
		If (Delay)
			Sleep Delay
		PostMessage, 0x202, 0, p, , ahk_id %hwnd%
		If (Delay)
			Sleep Delay
	}
}

I've been using it myself for a game. I don't know what the difference is between this and ControlClick. I even had a glance in ahk's source, and they look like they do the same basic thing. But this works and ControlClick doesn't, so maybe you could tell me.

Well, it does for me, I just want some more feedback, what did you find?

Hey infogulch any chance you can explain each line for newbs who do not have any experience with post message commands (like me). Maybe break down this script line by line. Thanks.

vahju: sure! I'll try to do that this weekend.

I just updated it with a more accurate title, and fixed what looked like a bug, so if you're having problems with it, try copying it again.

But this works and ControlSend doesn't, so maybe you could tell me.

Do you mean ControlClick? ControlSend doesn't support clicking.
