Problem with ControlClick

[Hawlong]

i try to click in client area but without activating 

i use this function for test

#include <WinAPIConv.au3>
hawlong(438,177)

Func hawlong($x,$y)
    Local $hWnd = HWnd(0x00030540)
    Local $tPoint = DllStructCreate("int X;int Y")
    DllStructSetData($tPoint, "X", $x)
    DllStructSetData($tPoint, "Y", $y)
    _WinAPI_ClientToScreen($hWnd, $tPoint)
   $x1 = DllStructGetData($tPoint, "X")
   $y1 = DllStructGetData($tPoint, "Y")
   MouseClick("left", $x1, $y1)
EndFunc

The function works without problems But I want to use ControlClick

Like this 

#include <WinAPIConv.au3>
hawlong(438,177)

Func hawlong($x,$y)
    Local $hWnd = HWnd(0x00030540)
    Local $tPoint = DllStructCreate("int X;int Y")
    DllStructSetData($tPoint, "X", $x)
    DllStructSetData($tPoint, "Y", $y)
    _WinAPI_ClientToScreen($hWnd, $tPoint)
   $x1 = DllStructGetData($tPoint, "X")
   $y1 = DllStructGetData($tPoint, "Y")
   ControlClick($hWnd, "", "[CLASS:#32770; INSTANCE:1]", "left", 1, $x1, $y1)
EndFunc

The problem is that 

when i use ControlClick clicks in the wrong place

Are the coordinates $x1 and $y1 within the bounds of the control? It's rare that you would ever need to use the x and y coordinates if you're clicking a control. MouseClick coordinates and ControlClick coordinates are completely different things, read the help file.

Are the coordinates $x1 and $y1 within the bounds of the control? 

_________________________________________

yes bro

[BrewManNH]

Not your bro, I hate that term. 

You might want to read the help file for ControlClick, if they're the same coordinates used in your MouseClick statement above, then they are not coordinates inside the bounds of the control, they might be the coordinates where the control is located, but they aren't the same thing as I stated above.

[Hawlong]

I read it

any idea

how can click in the right place without moving the cursor  (Client Area without activating )

[BrewManNH]

Get rid of the coordinates, as I also stated above, it's very rare that you'd need the coordinates in a ControlClick statement. They're mostly used in trying to click on a taskbar inside of a single control, or a picture element that uses coordinates of the click to determine where you clicked. Other than that, don't use them.

[Hawlong]

Get rid of the coordinates?  So how to click on the place I want?

I want to click in an empty place where there is no button

[Nine]

might be a problem of relative vs absolute coords ?

might be a problem of relative vs absolute coords ?

______________________________________________________

you mean

Opt("MouseCoordMode", 2)

Opt("MouseCoordMode", 1)

Opt("MouseCoordMode", 0)

The same problem

[Nine]

no i mean mouseclick is by default absolute, while controlclick is relative...unless the window hWnd has 0,0 coord it wont work imo

No it's not.

[Hawlong]

Show us what you're trying to automate with ControlClick, we need the Summary  tab of the Au3Info tool at the very least to know what you're working with. 

A screenshot of the application and the control you're interacting with would help too.

[Hawlong]

ok ,

this example to get x and y from client area

#include <WinAPIMisc.au3>
   $hWnd = WinGetHandle("Untitled - Paint")
    Local $iX = _WinAPI_GetMousePosX()
    Local $iX2 = _WinAPI_GetMousePosX(True, $hWnd)
    Local $iY = _WinAPI_GetMousePosY()
    Local $iY2 = _WinAPI_GetMousePosY(True, $hWnd)

    MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Mouse Pos", "X = " & $iX & @CRLF & "Y = " & $iY & @CRLF & @CRLF & _
            "Client" & @CRLF & "X = " & $iX2 & @CRLF & "Y = " & $iY2)

The second example

#include <WinAPIConv.au3>
   $hWnd = WinGetHandle("Untitled - Paint")
    Local $tPoint = DllStructCreate("int X;int Y")
    DllStructSetData($tPoint, "X",259) ; x From the first example
    DllStructSetData($tPoint, "Y",528) ; y From the first example
    _WinAPI_ClientToScreen($hWnd, $tPoint)
   $x1 = DllStructGetData($tPoint, "X")
   $y1 = DllStructGetData($tPoint, "Y")
ControlClick($hWnd, "", "[CLASS:Afx:cf0000:8; INSTANCE:1]", "left", 1, $x1,$y1)

I want to click in half the black circle

I ran your second script with Paint open, and it works fine. In your situation, is the paintbrush the active tool or is it still the shape tool? Because it won't show anything if the wrong tool in Paint is active. There's several brush tools that don't show anything unless they're moved, for example.

[Hawlong]

yes , the paintbrush the active tool

[Jos]

Ah... you are still screwing around with Paintbrush, like the other thread I closed.....  do you seriously think we are that thick?

Then it's something on your computer, it works as designed on mine, and I'm sure everyone else's copy of "paint".

[Hawlong]
