Moving The Mouse/Cursor Then Button Click ?

Hi all,

I am partly through creating a console application that runs a Windows app. All this I have managed to perform, but the following I am unsure of.

I now need to bring the form to the current view (which I have achieved), then put the mouse pointer in a certain position then simulate pressing the left mouse button.

Can anyone suggest where I need to start looking to allow me to work this one out ?

Is mouse_event() of any help here?

G'Day Dave,

That sounds the GO, but what about getting the Mouse Cursor in the position I want ?

i guess the right way would be the SendMessage function. use it with the parameter WM_LBUTTONUP.

I am not sure about a console application.

In Windows the mouse pointer is called a ‘cursor’ and you can set the position by calling SetCursorPos(x,y). Note that if ClipCursor was used to limit its rectangular area of movement then it will remain in that area.

After setting its position you can post the button-down and button-up messages, in that order, to simulate a button press & release.

Thanks John,

Yep, got the cursor now moving all over the place using the Cursor->Position. I will now concentrate on the mouse clicking now. Smile | :)

Thanks again John.

You are welcome,

Just a thought that this may come in handy, if do not have the have the handle to the button and have the handle to the parent then you can call ChildWindowFromPoint to get it. I guess that if you know its coordinates then you already have the handle; anyway I thought I would pass that along.

you need either knowledge of COM to implement the project or you have to hack through the different browser using FindWindow api to reterieve the website name

This is best done at the router; anything you can do on the client side can be undone or usurped. The added benefit of doing it at the router is centralized logging.

Hi All,

As per our design my application should launch in the system startup itself.
and also my application require the privilegeg level as "requireAdministrator"
to function proper. So i added one manifest file and in that i mentioned the snippet below

<security>
<requestedprivileges>
<requestedexecutionlevel
level="requireAdministrator"
="" uiaccess="false">

with this everything is fine.
But the problem is that when the system restarts, My Application is geeting blocked,VISTA prompting "Windows has bloked some startup progrsms" this is not expected for my application.

how can i avoid this. i.e how can i start my application in system startup?

Please support me in fixing this problem?

Thanks in Adv,

Are

You can't, this is by design. Vista won't run an app at startup if running the app would result in a UAC prompt.

Debug vs Realese

hi,
When I am trying to run the my dll and program use it in release mode it crashs on these lines:

_AFXWIN_INLINE HINSTANCE AFXAPI AfxGetResourceHandle()<br />
<br />
            { ASSERT(afxCurrentResourceHandle != NULL);

in AFXWIN1.inl header

What can be the cause for that ?
It functions perfectly in debug mode.
Thanks, Confused | :confused:

Sure?

You should use the debug dll in Debug mode,and the Release dll in release mode.

Atleast, should get idea, what problem may occurs in release, but not in debug build.
