Simulate Middle Mouse Click

[Alkerak]

Hello

I am using Maya 2012 with a magic mouse but I cannot be productive due to lack of a middle mouse button. I am no coder but an artist.

I just want to disable the Command Key for good and use it to simulate a middle mouse button click with Command + LMouseButton. I want this to be in a sort of loop ... (except the disableing part).

Can anyone help me?

Func Example()
While 1
If _IsPressed("11", user32.dll) Then MouseClick("Middle")
WEnd
EndFunc

Like that ^?

Well, it actually did not work.

I removed the "user32.dll" bit and it started working, however ctrl + left mouse did not work panning in maya. I wanted to use the "Command" key which is mapped to "Windows" key.

Well, I compile the script, make it an exe, run it as an admin on my Win7 x64 but nothing happends. I press the Windows Key, Mouse Left Button, click, drag, nothing, every combination ...

I also when I run it I dont see the test.exe in the task manager.

Try:

#include <misc.au3>
Example()

Func Example()
While 1
If _IsPressed("01") And (_IsPressed("5B") Or _IsPressed("5C")) Then MouseClick("Middle")
Sleep(500)
WEnd
EndFunc

EDIT: Added Rest In Script

EDIT EDIT: Corrected AND OR ordering

Well, it works in a certain way ... it's like issuing rapid middle mouse clicks. But I need to hold alt + MMB, so when I do CMD + ALT + MMB nothing works ...

Not to mention it takes around 50% of my CPU's which is killer.

I believe I fixed the script, see the edited post above.

Sort of works except it's a little slugish.

But I found a hiddent feature deep into the mel script files that controlls the settings. It's a controll that lets you choose the number of buttons, apparently it does not have a GUI frontend, but works nonetheless.

Thanks for all your time and help ... if only more programmers would be so prompt like you!

Hi,

The sluggish part is the Sleep(500), The choppy part is using MouseClick.

Try MouseDown and MouseUp only when conditions are met, it may be more to your needs.

#include <Misc.au3>

Global $iFlag = 0

While Not _IsPressed("1B") ;Esc to quit
    If _IsPressed("01") And (_IsPressed("5B") Or _IsPressed("5C")) And Not $iFlag Then
        $iFlag = MouseDown("Middle")
    ElseIf Not _IsPressed("01") And (Not _IsPressed("5B") Or Not _IsPressed("5C")) And $iFlag Then
        $iFlag = (MouseUp("Middle") <> 1)
    EndIf
    Sleep(20)
WEnd

Cheers

Didn't see a MouseDown/MouseUp in the Docs I probably need to do a refresher read of them, but your fix helps me too because it's more reliable and is a single click instead of multiple.

Look at me I'm an idiot and quoted a spam bot so Valik had to edit my post to remove the link. Go me! - Valik

Shame on you. You should know better than to quote a spambot, you only perpetuate its links. Just report it and move along.

Well said, his post has been edited to express how I feel about people when they quote spam bots.

Still worth it
