[solved] How fix the size of the window for any screen and window size?

[RCLens]

Hello,

 

I'd like for any screen or window size, the coordinates using MouseClick or ControlClick are always the same. How fix that?

 

Thank you

Usually you do not need the coordinates when using Control* functions. That's the recommended and reliable way to automate applications.

The problem is, in the software I'm using Windows Info doesn't show all the Instance/Name etc.. for each buttonm it's like a picture I mean.

Which application do you try to automate?
Can you please post a screenshot of the AutoIt Window Info Tool?

I try to automate an ERP.

You could use 

AutoItSetOption("MouseCoordMode", n) ; n: 0 = relative coords to the active window, 2 = relative coords to the client area of the active window

So in this case, if n = 0, the size doesn't matter ? In this case I should use n = 0, shouldn't I?

 

Plus, use ControlClick() doesn't seem to be really 'professionnel', is it normal in such case?

0 or 2 should work for you. Then it doesn't matter where on the screen the window is located.
The client area is the inside area of a window excluding the title bar, toolbars, status bar, scroll bars.

Not every control can be automated using Control* functions.
According to the help file: "Note: AutoIt only works with standard Microsoft controls. Some applications write their own custom controls which may look like a standard MS control but may resist automation."

IIRC Windows.Forms is one of them. I have never used such controls, so I might be wrong.
Best to either search the forum for Windows Forms or try it yourself.

A solution is "professional" when it fits your needs.
Means: It works, is fast and you understand your code even when a few months have passed
