 Posted: Sat Aug 28, 2004 3:00 am Post subject: Can the @lib function be used to send mouse clicks? |
 |
|
I am familiar with the GetAsyncKeyState to detect if a mouse button is being held down and using keybd_event to change the state of a key.
Is there an equivalent to this for sending mouse clicks to the active window and even simulating a mouse button being held down using the @lib function? I'm not interested in clicking on certain coordinates of the screen - I'm only interested in simulating a mouse button being pressed down.
Thanks for any help you can provide. |

depending on the program you are sending to, you might be able to use SendMessage to send WM_LBUTTONDOWN(WM_LBUTTONUP to release) to it.
Something like:
| Code: |
LOADLIB user32.dll
%%WM_LBUTTONDOWN = $0201
%%WM_LBUTTONUP = $0202
%%Window = <Window ID here>
%%Return = @LIB(user32,SendMessageA,INT:,INT:%%Window,INT:%%WM_LBUTTONDOWN,INT:0,INT:0)
FREELIB user32.dll

In addition to SnarlingSheep's code, there also is a built-in sendmessage function in VDS called @sendmsg(). It accepts the same parameters as the "real" SendMessageA function:

Are you sure of that? It didn't before, which is why other people built SendMessage VDS DLL's.

SnarlingSheep your code works great for windows type applications, but I'm trying to get this mouse functionality to work inside a computer game.
Ideally I'd like to avoid having to use window identifiers for this reason.
I've been using keybd_event with great success for keys. For instance the following will hold down the Ctrl key:
| Code: | | %%Ctrl = @lib(user32,keybd_event,nil:,int:$11,0,0,0) |
I've tried putting in the virual keycodes for the mouse as follows:
| Code: | | %%LeftMouseDown = @lib(user32,keybd_event,nil:,int:$01,0,0,0) |
or
| Code: | | %%LeftMouseDown = @lib(user32,keybd_event,nil:,int:$05,0,0,0) |
but this does not work....
The virtual keycodes I am using can be found at: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/winui/winui/windowsuserinterface/userinput/VirtualKeyCodes.asp |

You'll want mouse_event then:
| Code: |
LOADLIB user32.dll
%%MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTDOWN = $02
%%PosX = 100
%%PosY = 100
%%Return = @LIB(user32,mouse_event,NIL:,INT:%%MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTDOWN,INT:%%PosX,INT:%%PosY,INT:0,INT:0)
FREELIB user32.dll

You're not wrong. But you don't get as much control over the format of the arguments as @lib() gives you, which might be necessary for certain message types.

Thanks SnarlingSheep! Mouse_event is exactly what I was looking for  . Along with Codescript's Constant API Reference I've got everything I need. |
