Simulating a mouseclick?
 

Hey guys, is it possible to simulate a mouse click using x and y co-ordinates. And also could you have user input of a certain co-ordinate and it would click that specified co-ordinate? thanks.

I found a very neat sample of doing this:

from ctypes import *

import time, curses, win32con, win32gui



PUL = POINTER(c_ulong)



class KeyBdInput(Structure):

    _fields_ = [("wVk", c_ushort),

    ("wScan", c_ushort),

    ("dwFlags", c_ulong),

    ("time", c_ulong),

    ("dwExtraInfo", PUL)]



class HardwareInput(Structure):

    _fields_ = [("uMsg", c_ulong),

    ("wParamL", c_short),

    ("wParamH", c_ushort)]



class MouseInput(Structure):

    _fields_ = [("dx", c_long),

    ("dy", c_long),

    ("mouseData", c_ulong),

    ("dwFlags", c_ulong),

    ("time",c_ulong),

    ("dwExtraInfo", PUL)]



class Input_I(Union):

    _fields_ = [("ki", KeyBdInput),

    ("mi", MouseInput),

    ("hi", HardwareInput)]



class Input(Structure):

    _fields_ = [("type", c_ulong),

    ("ii", Input_I)]



class POINT(Structure):

    _fields_ = [("x", c_ulong),

    ("y", c_ulong)]



def click(x,y):



    orig = POINT()



    windll.user32.GetCursorPos(byref(orig))



    windll.user32.SetCursorPos(x,y)



    FInputs = Input * 2

    extra = c_ulong(0)



    ii_ = Input_I()

    ii_.mi = MouseInput( 0, 0, 0, 2, 0, pointer(extra) )



    ii2_ = Input_I()

    ii2_.mi = MouseInput( 0, 0, 0, 4, 0, pointer(extra) )



    x = FInputs( ( 0, ii_ ), ( 0, ii2_ ) )



    windll.user32.SendInput(2, pointer(x), sizeof(x[0]))



    return orig.x, orig.y





click(150, 150)

It may be long, but it is one of the few examples I have seen that work with little hassle in Python.

For your second question, I'd probably bind with gui. Follow the example here but it doesn't have to be right click:

also, how would you use Tkinter with two buttons for example to save a .txt document all you have to do is click that button and it will make a prompt for the filename and save it. Thanks

If you're talking about mouse clicks in Tkinter, then you will want to check out the manual:

http://infohost.nmt.edu/tcc/help/pub...er/tkinter.pdf

OR in HTML format

http://infohost.nmt.edu/tcc/help/pubs/tkinter/
http://www.pythonware.com/library/index.htm

To get mouse clicks, check out the Bind method at the end of the manual. To handle file dialogs, check out the tkFileDialog module.

Hope that helps,
Jeff
