I'm trying to simulate a mouse click on a window. I currently have success doing this as follows (I'm using Python, but it should apply to general win32):
win32api.SetCursorPos((x,y))
win32api.mouse_event(win32con.MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTDOWN,0,0)
win32api.mouse_event(win32con.MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTUP,0,0)
This works fine. However, if the click happens while I'm moving the mouse manually, the cursor position gets thrown off. Is there any way to send a click directly to a given (x,y)
coordinate without moving the mouse there? I've tried something like the following with not much luck:
nx = x*65535/win32api.GetSystemMetrics(0)
ny = y*65535/win32api.GetSystemMetrics(1)
win32api.mouse_event(win32con.MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTDOWN | \
win32con.MOUSEEVENTF_ABSOLUTE,nx,ny)
win32api.mouse_event(win32con.MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTUP | \
win32con.MOUSEEVENTF_ABSOLUTE,nx,ny)
