JAFN Posted March 21, 2011 Posted March 21, 2011 I've got an app that uses mouse routines that click certain areas. The problem is that a few of the clicks require tight precision and slight mouse movements seem to throw of the routine. Is there a way to lock out the mouse during the routine?

JohnOne Posted March 21, 2011 Posted March 21, 2011 BlockInput() In the time I'm been using autoit3, i've never come across a time/reason I would ever need it, and it can cause problems for a user, not to mention discomfort when someone causes their computer to not respond to their own input.

AdmiralAlkex Posted March 21, 2011 Posted March 21, 2011 You should look into using ContrlClick() and it's brethren instead, then the mouse can do whatever it wants .Some of my scripts: ShiftER, Codec-Control, Resolution switcher for HTC ShiftSome of my UDFs: SDL UDF, SetDefaultDllDirectories, Converting GDI+ Bitmap/Image to SDL Surface
JAFN Posted March 21, 2011 Author Posted March 21, 2011 The problem with Control... is that they use ControlID. As I am trying to click on a Chrome page this becomes problematic. If I am wrong in thinking this please show me how. I will play around with BlockInput() Thanks. [size="2"]The second mouse gets the cheese[/size]
AdmiralAlkex Posted March 21, 2011 Posted March 21, 2011 I hear it may work without ControlID.But if you mean Chrome as in the web browser, then to automate browsing you really should be using the IE (look at "IE Management" in the helpfile) or FF (look link <-- link) UDF. .Some of my scripts: ShiftER, Codec-Control, Resolution switcher for HTC ShiftSome of my UDFs: SDL UDF, SetDefaultDllDirectories, Converting GDI+ Bitmap/Image to SDL Surface

It feels so slow now.But BlockInput worked just fine and control is only blocked for maybe a 10th of a second, if that.I always appreciate the swiftness of response and the courteousnesses of the members.This a very polite forum, and I never feel talked down to.Thanks for your help and time.

AdmiralAlkex Posted March 21, 2011 Posted March 21, 2011 Wash your mouth out for suggesting IE.That makes little to no sense in the context of this thread.Thanks for your help and time.You're welcome .Some of my scripts: ShiftER, Codec-Control, Resolution switcher for HTC ShiftSome of my UDFs: SDL UDF, SetDefaultDllDirectories, Converting GDI+ Bitmap/Image to SDL Surface
Carlo84 Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 Wash your mouth out for suggesting IE.maybe if you actually checked out the UDF and saw what it whas capable off ;-) _SplashProgressImage | _Regionselector | _IsPressed360 | _UserAccountContol_SetLevel | _ListSubFolders
JohnOne Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 maybe if you actually checked out the UDF and saw what it whas capable off ;-)The OP just thinks IE is to slow.Personally I dont see that much difference, and the functionality of the IE UDF certainly offsets any speed issues with other browsers when trying to automate something.I think this speed thing is something people like to cling onto from the past.I'd recommend to anyone to try IE9.
