Why Does ControlClick Unfocus other windows!

[HamidZaeri]

when I use ControlClick, My current active window lose its focus (Sometimes)!

Is it natural or Is this a bug or something?

 

And I know this workaround, but it repeatedly change focus of my windows (Annoying)

$window = WinGetHandle("")
ControlClick('iTools模拟器2','','CHWindow1','left',1,80,40)
WinActivate($window)

 

And i used these functions, but same problem!

DllCall("user32.dll","int","SendMessage","hwnd",WinGetHandle($Window),"int",$WM_MOUSE,"int",0,"long",_MakeLong($X, $Y))

 

---

If it helps, I'm on latest Autoit version and win 10 x64

are you doing something while the script is running? Like using your mouse?

Of course, I'm working with another window.

Do you want to say I should not use PC while autoit is running?

If you simply sit and let the script run, without doing anything else, does the active window still lose focus?

Yep

Here is part of my codes:

$hWin[$i] = WinGetHandle($winid[$en[0]+$i],'sub')
    $hCtr[$i] = ControlGetHandle($hWin[$i],'','CHWindow1')

    Switch PixWinColor(13,54,$hWin[$i])
    Case 0x3281C6
        ControlClick($hWin[$i],'',$hCtr[$i],'left',2,80,40)
        ControlSend($hWin[$i],'',$hCtr[$i],$apn[$cn[0]+Mod($i+$j,$cn[1])])
        Sleep(20/$rate)
        ControlClick($hWin[$i],'',$hCtr[$i],'left',2,80,55)
        For $h = $cn[2] To $cn[2]+$cn[1]
            If StringLeft($apn[$cn[0]+Mod($i+$j,$cn[1])],6)=StringLeft($apn[$cn[0]+Mod($i+$j+$h,$cn[1])],6) And $apn[$cn[0]+Mod($i+$j,$cn[1])]<>$apn[$cn[0]+Mod($i+$j+$h,$cn[1])] Then
                ControlSend($hWin[$i],'',$hCtr[$i],$apn[$cn[0]+Mod($i+$j+$h,$cn[1])])
                ExitLoop
            EndIf
        Next
        Sleep(20/$rate)
        ControlClick($hWin[$i],'',$hCtr[$i],'left',2,80,70)
        ControlSend($hWin[$i],'',$hCtr[$i],$fee[0])
        Sleep(10/$rate)
        ControlClick($hWin[$i],'',$hCtr[$i],'left',1,7,191)

And afaik it's not related to ControlSend (tested)

ControlClick doesn't steal focus either. How about posting all of your code, or at least a runnable reproducer, so we can test, along with an explanation of what you're trying to do? We can't do anything with this snippet.

ControlClick is responsible for losing focus, Because when I remove them there's no problem!

It is all the script (I have removed some sensitive stuff).

Actually I use another script to ShellExecute This one .

The control that you are clicking is stealing the focus. Some controls do it because they perform some actions at the background. It is normal.

Ah, you're right.

Any way to stop programs (controls) stealing focus?

[Juvigy]

You can return the focus to the desired window with Autoit right after the control click.

You can also try making the window minimized,invisible or the control enabled/disabled and so on.

You are running an uninstall routine if I'm reading the code right. Is it possible to use command line switches with the uninstaller?

Thanks for your attention but no, it's not related to installation!

ControlDisable did the trick

Stealing focus solved by disable control, but I have another problem:

I lose mouse key hold after ControlClick, (I can't  drag with mouse because mouse keys get released right after ControlClick)

I know ControlClick is not responsible for that (Right?) but is there any workaround? Or what should I Google?

Edited July 16, 2018 by HamidZaeri

[Juvigy]

ControlClick is responsible for that - to workaround this - check for the mouse buttons hold before the control click and wait until there are no mouse buttons pressed.
