Help! How to use make the mouse scroll through a specified window

[Straut]

I need help.

I'm trying to make a script that scrolls through a PDF that's being viewed in IE.

I need to make the script to make a IE window active and points the mouse in that window over the pdf. Then presses down the mousewheel, pulling the mouse down just a little bit and holding the mousewheel down for a couple of seconds so that the whole PDF scrolls so I can view it.

I figured that ControlClick might be the command to use and I've tried to make it work but I can't.

I tried this but it doesn't do much:

Code: Select all

WinActivate ahk_class IEFrame
ControlClick X1803 Y185 ahk_class IEFrame X1803 Y185 Wheeldown X10 Y10 Sleep 7000 Wheelup

Can someone give a noob like me some help or ideas? Please....

This works for me for a pdf opened in Internet Explorer:

Code: Select all

q:: ;internet explorer - WheelDown
WinActivate, ahk_class IEFrame
SendInput, {WheelDown}
return

It works but it's not exactly what I want. It's quite hard to read the text.

My goal is to get a script that makes a smoother flow when scrolling through the window. Such as when you push the mousewheel down and moves the mouse slightly down so it scrolls softly through the document.

Perhaps something like this. Adjust the numbers as necessary.

Code: Select all

q:: ;internet explorer - WheelDown via WM_MOUSEWHEEL
WinGet, hWnd, ID, ahk_class IEFrame
ControlGetFocus, vCtlClassNN, % "ahk_id " hWnd
ControlGet, hCtl, Hwnd,, % vCtlClassNN, % "ahk_id " hWnd
vNum := -60 ;negative means downwards
vPosX := A_ScreenWidth/2
vPosY := A_ScreenHeight/2
Loop, 2 ;sometimes it only appeared to work half the time
	PostMessage, 0x20A, % vNum<<16, % vPosX|(vPosY<<16),, % "ahk_id " hCtl ;WM_MOUSEWHEEL := 0x20A
return

Thanks.... But I don't get it to run. I have to hold Q to make it run... Do you know why?

To make it loop you can use Loop and Sleep, otherwise I'm not sure.
