Mousemove doesnt work in a vitrual machine

[apolonas]

[Moderator's note: Topic moved from Bug Reports.]

I tried to use mousemove command in vmware and it doesn't work. I use windows 10 ltsc in the testing vitrual machine. Ahkv1 mousemove works flawlessly btw in the same machine. Also compiled command doesn't work either. I tried to install ahkv2 , use portable mod also use compiled executable nothing works...

Code: Select all

MouseMove 0,0

I just tried

Code: Select all

CoordMode "Mouse", "Screen"
MouseMove 20, 30, 50

Code: Select all

CoordMode "Mouse", "window"
MouseMove 20, 30, 50

also doesn't work

i always had to use SetCursorPos

Code: Select all

DllCall("SetCursorPos", "int", 200, "int", 100)

It works just fine for me in VirtualBox. For instance, this will show a context menu at the top-left of the screen:

Code: Select all

CoordMode "Mouse"
MouseMove 0,0
Click "R"

The VM has no control over the host's mouse cursor, and this is as it should be. If you turn off mouse integration, you will be able to see the guest's mouse pointer, and you will likely see that MouseMove does move it.

If there is some difference in behaviour between v1 and v2, it could be attributed to the default Send mode.

I added the line

Code: Select all

SendMode "event"

at the top of the script and now mouse works as expected except the loading icon on desktop. Also I notice that mouse worked before but it was invisible (i tested right click). Is there any workaround? I don't know what the difference between send modes unfortunately.
