Hold Mouse Button?

[ShadowOps]

Is it possible for a custom function to only be triggered when the mouse is being held down? Would HotKeySet be used at all?

[ajit]

#include <Misc.au3>

$dll = DllOpen("user32.dll")

While 1

Sleep(250)

If _IsPressed("01", $dll) Then yourfunction()

WEnd

DllClose($dll)

This doesn't quite fully work... I am trying to make the mouse automatically click one time a second, but once I hold the mouse button in, it always clicks once a second, even if I let go...

#include "Misc.au3"
$dll = DllOpen("user32.dll")

While 1
    sleep(1000)
    If _IsPressed("01", $dll) then Click()
WEnd

DllClose($dll)

func Click()
    while 1
        MouseClick("primary")
    wend
endfunc

Try this (untested).

func Click()
    while 1
        If NOT _IsPressed("01", $dll) then exitloop
        MouseClick("primary")
        Sleep(1000)
    wend
endfunc

Edit: Changed the order of calls in the function.

This should work... Hold on...

#include "Misc.au3"
$dll = DllOpen("user32.dll")

While 1
    sleep(1000)
    If _IsPressed("01", $dll) then Click()
WEnd

func Click()
    while 1
        If NOT _IsPressed("01", $dll) then exitloop
        MouseClick("primary")
        Sleep(1000)
    wend
endfunc

DllClose($dll)

[ShadowOps]

Nope, nothing's working...

[GEOSoft]

another try then and again untested. You might have to uncomment the MouseUp() line

#include "Misc.au3"
$dll = DllOpen("user32.dll")

While 1
    sleep(1000)
    If _IsPressed("01", $dll) then Click()
WEnd

func Click()
    while _IsPressed("01", $dll)
         MouseClick("primary")
         Sleep(1000)
    wend
    ;MouseUp( "primary" )
endfunc

DllClose($dll)

NM That won't work either because you are trying to click the same button that is already triggering the function(). Using the Right button to trigger the function works

#include "Misc.au3"
$dll = DllOpen("user32.dll")

While 1
    sleep(1000)
    If _IsPressed("02", $dll) then
    If Click() Then ExitLoop
    EndIf
WEnd

func Click()
    while _IsPressed("02", $dll)
         If MouseClick("primary") Then ConsoleWrite("mouse clicked" & @CRLF)
         Sleep(1000)
     wend
     Return 1
endfunc

DllClose($dll)

Still doesn't work... Whatever though.

I was just wondering, what is the name of the command that moves the mouse to certain coordinates?

[GEOSoft]

Amazingly enough it's MouseMove()

[ShadowOps]

Huh.

[JohnOne]

lol at changing both the mouse buttong on the scipt again

Anyway your code works fine with the same button.

#include "Misc.au3"
$dll = DllOpen("user32.dll")

While 1
    sleep(100)
    If _IsPressed("01", $dll) then Click()
WEnd

func Click()
    while _IsPressed("01", $dll)
         Mousemove(700,400,10)
         Sleep(1000)
         Mousemove(600,400,10)
    wend
    ;MouseUp( "primary" )
endfunc

DllClose($dll)

How can I disable the mouse for the duration of my script, without it being stuck in a forever loop? This is how I plan to disable it:

While
    MouseMove (@DesktopWidth, @DesktopHeight, 0)
Wend

But if I do that, the rest of my script can't run while the mouse is disabled...

Can you explain this question a bit better? I am not entirely sure what you are asking.

For the mouse click script though, I think this should work for you:

#include "Misc.au3"
$dll = DllOpen("user32.dll")

While 1
    Sleep(1000)
    If _IsPressed("01", $dll) Then
        If Click() Then ExitLoop
    EndIf
WEnd

Func Click()
    While _IsPressed("01", $dll)
        MouseUp("primary")
        If MouseDown("primary") Then ConsoleWrite("mouse clicked" & @CRLF)
        Sleep(1000)
    WEnd
    Return 1
EndFunc   ;==>Click

DllClose($dll)

EDIT: Same script as what George gave you, just had to add a mouseup() and change mouseclick() to MouseDown(). When using mouse click, you are telling it to press down and release, so even though you still have the button held down, your script released it. With MouseDown() it never tells it that the button was released. You lifting your finger is the only thing that triggers the release.

Hope that makes sense.

But then the mouse is not clicking.

he wants to click while he holds the button down, the code that GEO posted does exactly that.

Yes, it IS clicking, did you try it? It clicks.

The one that GEO posted, leaves the loop after ONE click. The one he posted where you hold down the right mouse button to click the left, worked fine, but was not what was requested.

EDIT: HAHA, I guess it would serve a better point when I paste the correct code LOL.

Sorry JohnOne, you are indeed right, that one DOES NOT WORK.

I have edited the previous code to match this as well.

Here is the one I meant to, and thought I did, paste:

#include "Misc.au3"
$dll = DllOpen("user32.dll")

While 1
    Sleep(1000)
    If _IsPressed("01", $dll) Then
        If Click() Then ExitLoop
    EndIf
WEnd

Func Click()
    While _IsPressed("01", $dll)
        MouseUp("primary")
        If MouseDown("primary") Then ConsoleWrite("mouse clicked" & @CRLF)
        Sleep(1000)
    WEnd
    Return 1
EndFunc   ;==>Click

DllClose($dll)
