AutoitX MouseClickDrag function in C++

[waterstoom]

Hi guys,

im stuck when using the MouseClickDrag function in Visual studio. I did found the function with the method name AU3_MouseClickDrag() but im confusing by its parameter. 

Autoit Script:

MouseClickDrag ( "left", x1, y1, x2, y2, 10 )

 

But in C++

the parameter type of AU3_MouseClickDrag is AU3_MouseClickDrag(LPCWSTR,int,int,int,int,int)

my question is what should i fill in for LPCWSTR? I tried to put "left" on it but no luck T_T

Help me pls.

The Helpfile states:

Parameters

button	The button to click: "left", "right", "middle", "main", "menu", "primary", "secondary".
x1, y1	The x/y coords to start the drag operation from.
x2, y2	The x/y coords to start the drag operation to.
speed	Optional: the speed to move the mouse in the range 1 (fastest) to 100 (slowest). A speed of 0 will move the mouse instantly. Default speed is 10.

So it should indeed be "left"

i tried to put "left" to drag a program to the corner but the problem is it does not make a left click i can only see the movement of the cursor

If you're trying to relocate the position of a program wouldn't the WinMove function be more beneficial?

For the LPCWSTR type should i fill like adding a L infront?

Example:

for the "left" should i do like L"left"? cause the parameter need to fill in LPCWSTR form but not String

If its wrong can anyone correct me?

 

I did try with this code:

AU3_MouseClickDrag(L"left",60,60,10,10,20)

to drag notepad title in x:60 y:60 to the corner x:10 y:10

haha its indeed the L"left" it just after compiling the file, i need to run the .exe as admin. if not window wont allow it to move the program
