MLC. Command
Mouse Left Click (compatible engine with move)
Intention
MLC. simulates a Mouse-Move to, and a Left-Click at the target Position.
This Command simulates a Left-Click with the Mouse, using the Compatible Engine.
The usage of the command is simple, you can just write:
MLC.
Then the mouse pointer will move to the current "Active Point" and do the Click.
In most cases the "Active Point" is been set, by localizing a button or control or object.
In that case, the "Active Point" is in the center of the rectangular object.
You can find some more details on the "Active Point" and how to move it, here:
This command will simulate a real Mouse-Move, even with a "Human touch", if this is been set, using
OPT.HM|35
This is a are very realistic Mouse Move and a Mouse Left-Click at the target.
MLC. has therefore all the strong and all the weak sides of a typical Compatible Engine command.
MLC. is a real Mouse-Click, which need the window to be on top of other windows. Also it will need a mouse-pointer and a desktop.
You can find some more details on the "r"-prototype here: MAP - Move Active Point.
Syntax
MLC.[P1|][P2,P3]
Parameter Explanation
P1 - (optional) prototype coordinates
Prototype can be omitted or any of:
GROUP I (based on rectangular Area) Prototypes
"w" - choose RECT from last located Window (Child-/ or Top-Window)
"t" - choose RECT from last located Top-Window
"k" - choose RECT from last located Child-Window
"a" - choose RECT from last located Accessible Object (E8) (using SAO.,AGR.,NAV. etc.)
"g" - choose RECT from last located graphical Object (E9) (using QFR,, ANA., UNI. etc.)
"o" - choose RECT from last located Object/Window (any sort of)
"s" - use Screen-Coordinates, these will go over the whole Screen, including Dual- or Multi-Monitors
for these "Base-Prototypes" you can specify additionally fine-tuning using:
- Quadrant coordinates like:
MMV.o|{A2-B4}
- numeric numbers (positive and negative)
MMV.o|-20,90
and you can combine this:
MMV.o|-20,90 {A2-B4}
also there are three Prototypes that will do sort of "left-right" or "Mid" Positioning. These 3 can not be combined with each other.
"d" - Sort of LBO. - Positioning on the Left side of the current Rectangle.
"e" - Sort of RBO. - Positioning on the Right side of the current Rectangle.
"r" - Midpoint of the last RECT (default)
"u" - Move down by the size of the Windows-Titlebar
"v" - Move up by the size of the Windows-Titlebar
' Example (Combination):
MMV.oe|-20,90 {A2-B4}
GROUP II (based on Point) Prototypes
"m" - actual mouse-position. Usefull if the user moves the mouse somewhere and you want to act on that position.
"b" - last mouse-position, before last Move.
"p" - current "Active Point". (Default)
"l" - Last "Active Point".
If prototype is omitted, Screen-Coordinates are taken.
"x" - Set Active Point to the Command-position.
Example:
' Move Mouse and Active Point
MLC.wrx|-358,207
P2, P3 - (optional) x,y - coordinates
numeric coordinates, separated by comma. You can use
variable and Formula in (..). You can also use a
Point-Variable instead of two coordinates.
