Hi there!
I am a noob to AutoIt and just starting to familiarize myself to scripting with it. Before this I have been using GUI Macro to automate my task.
So, recently I have been trying to move the mouse pointers and made clicks on the desktop. I activated a program window specially designed to do inventory correction. There was a blank to be filled in with certain information. I scripted something out of AutoIt, and made it to move the mouse pointer and made a right mouse click on the blank field. It should display some context menu. But nothing happened, although it managed to move the mouse pointer where I wanted it to. Automating my task this way has been very helpful to me. I have over 4000+ entries to correct and enter and doing this manually would kill my fingers.
Honestly, I have tried many other macro recorders to do the task but none seems to work. They do work outside the mentioned windows however, but not in it.
I read somewhere that, some task automation software cannot work in some circumstances eg gaming as it doesn't interact via the mouse and keyboard drivers directly.Could it be the same in this case that the inventory program is designed in such a way?
Is there a way to go about this?
Please, I need help.
Thank you in advance.
