simulation of a mouse click on front panel

[Fleischli]

Hello, i sorry for the multiple post. its the first time i use the forum! The example is working fine for left mouse click

Is there a specific number to simulate a right mouse click? Instead of the number 2.

Thanks
Lukas

Lukas,

Please check out this thread about the same DLL call. You might also check out the MSDN reference given above.

It looks like right-click (down) is 8 and up is 16 (or 10 in hex).

Hello, thanks for the numbers its working fine. Just one problem, if i simulate a left mouse click (or right), the click is executed two times. Do you know a way to avoid that. Here the vi i was working with.

Lukas,

I don't see the double-click problem. I will tell you that I don't like the example you are using, because I don't find it to be very clear or to demonstrate good programming techniques (confusing, no comments, no stop button, etc.).

Attached is another example (LV 7.1) that might be more clear. When I run this, I do not see any double-click problems.

Regards,
John

I was experimenting with the simulated mouse click vi in microsoft powerpoint. I would like to use the mouse click simulation to change slides in full screen mode. The simulated mouse clicker only changed the slide after I right clicked and moved the mouse over the right click menu. It worked delightfully . Does anyone know how to have the mouse click work without me first right clicking?

Is this a LabVIEW or a Microsoft Powerpoint question?

This is a labview question. The simulated mouse click will not perform any operations unless you right click first to open a drop down menu and then the mouse click will work on that menu. I would like the simulated mouse click to work without having to first open the drop down menu.

You could try to control PowerPoint directly using ActiveX instead of simulating a mouse click.  There is an example VI that uses ActiveX to go through a slideshow located here:
