Simple script help

[atleer]

It's been probably 8 years since i've used AutoIt. I need help getting a very simple script done, figured may be easier to enlist help.

First off, I need to get the screen coordinates for a certain location of the screen.

Then the script, basically needs to pause (what's this command) and then double click at a screen location.

With your help on how to get the coordinates, and then pause and left double click, I can probably compile the whole thing.

Many thanks in advance!

atleer, welcome to the forum. Can you be more specific about what you're trying to click on? Is it a button, are you after a radio button, etc? Also, if you can tell us what type of application you're trying to manipulate, it would help us help you. 99% of the time, there is an easier way to accomplish what you're after than with MouseClicks.

Ya it does need to be mouse clicks. It's clicking a button inside of another application. I've done this exact setup before, but I forget the coding etc. Really just need the simple coding for:

"pause"

"left mouse click"

and how to find screen coordinates.

Thanks!!

Sweet, so what have you tried and isn't working?

What exactly do you want to do?

;Send Pause
Send("{PAUSE}")

;Get some coordinates
$y = Random(0, @DesktopDepth)
$x = Random(0, @DesktopWidth)

;And left Click it!
MouseClick("left", $x, $y)

@AutoIteers - I know you are enthusiastic helpers and all, and that is to be encouraged and even admired.

But when the OP hasn't provided code, and someone like Jos (especially) asks a question, then you really should be waiting until the OP has responded to that question.

There are usually one or more good reasons for this.

P.S. Jos I hope you don't mind me speaking up like this, but I have seen this happen a lot.

Don't mind and have gotten used to the fact people feel they need to chime in even when we try to moderate... guess its a free world

I guess we have all tolerated it too much, and now it's getting worse, but like you said it is a free world, and better that we have so many enthusiastic helpers willing to volunteer their help, than none or only a few.

Still, I wish they would consider more, hence my remarks.

I'm still at work but when I get home I will post what I got. Thanks guys
