Simulate input/Mouse: Difference between revisions

{{task|GUI}}[[Category:Testing]]Simulate the click of a mouse button by the user. Specify if the target GUI may be externally created.

target gui may be externally created.

Click 200, 200 right ; relative to external window (firefox)

sleep, 2000

WinMinimize

CoordMode, Mouse, Screen

 

=={{header|Fantom}}==

You can simulate a mouse click on a button by asking that button to fire its event listeners. This approach only works for the program's own GUI:

 

using fwt

using gfx

}

}

 

Alternatively, if you are running on the Java Runtime, you can use Java's 'robot' library to click anywhere on the screen, and so interact with widgets from other programs:

 

using [java] java.awt::Robot

using [java] java.awt.event::InputEvent

}

}

 

=={{header|GUISS}}==

 

 

=={{header|Java}}==

You can click on any Component using a Robot and the Component's location:

Robot robot = new Robot();

robot.mouseMove(p.getX(), p.getY()); //you may want to move a few pixels closer to the center by adding to these values

robot.mousePress(InputEvent.BUTTON1_MASK); //BUTTON1_MASK is the left button,

//BUTTON2_MASK is the middle button, BUTTON3_MASK is the right button

If you don't have a reference to the component, you'll need to guess at where it is.

 

 

If you have a reference to the AbstractButton this is simpler:

Using Tk events, this only works with internal windows.

[QTk] = {Module.link ['x-oz://system/wp/QTk.ozf']}

Button

{Tk.send event(generate Button "<ButtonPress-1>")}

{Delay 500}

 

=={{header|PicoLisp}}==

buttons. In that way one application can control another application.

 

in the following example. Mouse input is simulated with the functions 'click'

(click on a HTML link) and 'press' (press a submit button).

 

 

# Log in

(click "Spare Part") # Click on "Spare Part" article

(prinl (value 8)) # Print the price (12.50)

Output:

<pre>12.50</pre>

The same example is used in the related task [[Simulate input/Keyboard#PicoLisp]].

=={{header|PureBasic}}==

This code is Windows only.

mouse_event_(#MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTDOWN, 0, 0, 0, 0)

mouse_event_(#MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTUP, 0, 0, 0, 0)

; Move to a new location and click it

SetCursorPos_(50, 50)

{{libheader|AutoWin}}

AW_MouseClick()

Delay(1000)

 

=={{header|Tcl}}==

===Within an Application===

{{libheader|Tk}}

event generate .okBtn <ButtonPress-1> -x 5 -y 5

Note that many of Tk's windows also need appropriate <Enter> and <Leave> events in order to work correctly. For the process of actually simulating a click on a button, it is actually easier to work at the method-call level rather than the event generation level:
