Macro scheduler can send clicks to background windows? (not minimized/hidden)
If so, how?

Re: [Doubt] Click window on background
That depends. Let's look at some scenarios, using Audacity :
Using the Find Object Wizard to generate this code, Macro Scheduler will find the button named "Record" in Audacity, even if Audacity is minimized or in the background :
However if we simply move the mouse and left click, then we need to be able to actually see what we're clicking - just like a human user. As long as the window and button we're clicking are visible, it will click. If you can't see it, you can't move the mouse to it and click it.
Using the Find Object Wizard to generate this code, Macro Scheduler will find the button named "Record" in Audacity, even if Audacity is minimized or in the background :
Code: Select all
UIClick>{"Audacity"},{"Record"}
Code: Select all
