[pravin]

I want to drag and Drop a element in my web application using autoit. Basically i want to automate drag and drop functionality in my application using autoit.

Please help me in it

Then you need HTML 5, not autoit...

[pravin]

there is no possibility for drag and drop in autoit ? by using any mouse event or other options

[SadBunny]

Sure there is, try things like MouseClickDrag, MouseDown, MouseMove and MouseUp.

[pravin]

can you help me with code for drag and drop please

[SadBunny]

Sure, look at the example scripts in the usage information about those functions:

https://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/functions/MouseDown.htm
https://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/functions/MouseMove.htm
https://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/functions/MouseUp.htm

thanks for the help

No problem. See how far you get, it's pretty much a question of figuring out the coordinates to drag to/from and plug those into those commands. There's a few catches if you want to do it properly, such as making sure that your coordinates are correct even if you move windows or error checking to see if the windows are even there...

All in all, most people here would advise against using drag&drop mouse automation (or any sort of gui automation), as in use it as a last resort if you are certain that no other methods exist. It is finicky, it is hard to account for all gui contingencies, it could break if you accidentally use your mouse while the script is operating, etc. etc., all in all it's quite unreliable.

If you really want to interact with a website in a much more reliable and faster way, and have muuuuuuch more control, it may be worth it to check this out: https://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/libfunctions/IE Management.htm

I am new to this autoit let me try if any issues ..will post it

[pravin]

can anybody help me with the step for use autoit for drag and drop or any tutorial video

[SadBunny]

From the MouseClickDrag help file:

#include <AutoItConstants.au3>
; Left click drag from 0, 200 to 600, 700
MouseClickDrag($MOUSE_CLICK_LEFT, 0, 200, 600, 700)

If that's not enough, please describe your challenge.

[pravin]

thanks for the help will try and let u know

[pravin]

the  mouse pointer is moving from source element to destination according to co-ordinate but element is not getting drag to destination ....

[SadBunny]

You could try to put Opt("MouseClickDragDelay", 1000) on top of your script. (A second is usually much too long, but just for testing whether the problem is in the delay, and then dial it back.)

If that doesn't work, please show your code, and if possible a screenshot of your situation (block out any personal information!)

[pravin]

MouseClickDrag("left",60, 570, 800, 570,10) ....can put delay in between

[SadBunny]

Try $MOUSE_CLICK_LEFT instead of "left", as shown in the helpfile (have you read it?).

[pravin]

i was using it but it didn't worked so used left in it

More details. Moooore details.
