ClickControl for a VM Machine

[infiskillz]

Hello guys,

I need help with a ClickControl command that I need working in a VM machine. Outside of the VM, my commands work, however inside, they don't seem to. Here's the command:

Code: Select all

NumpadMult::
ControlClick, x210 y158, VM-Name, , LEFT, 2, , , , ,
return

Same command works if I use it for something outside of the VM, but inside, it doesn't. Do you have any ideas? Does it have anything to do with the fact that the class is ahk_class #32770? As I'm not really sure what that means, but I thought I'd throw it out there. I tried it with the name of the VM (since it doesn't change), as well as the exe, but it didn't work with either.



Any suggestions?

Is your VM a Windows OS?
You could try installing AHK in the VM itself.
(Or did you already do that?)

yes i would not expect ControlClick to work if you are running it from the host machine and expecting to execute a click within the guest

just install AHK inside the guest machine and run the script inside as well

Simple text commands are working though, such as

Code: Select all

^NumpadMult::

SendInput Hello.{Enter}
sleep 500
return

What I need this to do is to have it click in a specific place (at specific coords) when I hit the key (numpad or something else). If ControlClick doesn't work for this, is there a different way of doing it? Maybe with the click command itself?


Worst case scenario, I'd be satisfied even if I select the specific window where I want the click to go manually, not from the script, and the command would simply click in a specific place of the screen, regardless of what window I have active etc. That would work for me too, if there's no other way.

Later edit:

I combined "MouseClick" with "WinActivate" and it worked. Thanks for you answers guys!

For anyone that's curious, this is what I ended up with that worked:

Code: Select all

NumpadMult::

WinActivate, VM-Name,,,
MouseClick, , 109,823, 2, 0,,
sleep 200
return

Thanks again.

As far as AHK is concerned, everything inside a VM window is effectively just a picture. The ONLY thing you can do in a VM window is pixel detection or send keys to it.
