LAP. Command

Locate any Object/Window at a specified coordinate

 

 

Intention

 

This command will locate a Top- or Child-Window and possibly an "Accessible Object" (~ Browser/Office Object that is not a window) that is at the given Coordinate. Depending on the specified parameters, you do not need to locate any Top-Window prior using this command.

 

Most often, this command may be used together with GMP. (Get Mouse Position) to interact with the object, where the user has placed his mouse-pointer.

 

The LAP.-command can be used to locate a Top- or Child-Window as well as to locate another non-window (Acc.-)Object.

 

 

 

Syntax

 

LAP.[P1][|P2,P3]

 

 

Parameter Explanation

 

P1 - (optional) Prototypes, can be one of these:

 s - screen coordinates are specified

 o - (Acc-) Object coordinates are specified

 r - Coordinates are specified relativ to active point      

 w - Window coordinates are specified

 m - Use Mouse Coordinates and add specified coordinates

     in this case Coordinates can be omitted.

 

you can add these two prototypes as second prototype:

 

l - Use given coordinates and make left-shift

 n - Do NOT locate an Acc.-Object - just locate the window.

 

Example:

 

LAP.sn|44,56

LAP.ml|109,12

 

P2, P3 - (optional) - X- and Y-Coordinates in the Coordinate System that

                is specified using the above prototypes.

 

 

 

Example

 

' Run this script in the Editor, drive with the Mouse on

' an object within the first PAU. command.

' then wait until the LAP. command was executed.

' Now drive the mouse away.

' After 3 seconds the mouse will return to the center-point of

' the Object that was under the mouse while LAP. was called.

' Note that this worked without any need for previous STW.
