LClick not Clicking

[idw456]

When accessing a website, https://shareinvesting.anz.com/home.aspx. I can manually click on "My Portfolio" This operates and asks for UN and Pw.

I automated this using the "IE Element Wizard", which produced:

Code: Select all

IEClickTag>%IE[0]%,{""},{""},{"IMG"},{"ID"},{"PT Portfolio Landing Page_IMG"},ie_res

However this is not reliable as the site changes the number of images and the wrong image can be clicked, but the click does work.

To overcome this I used the "Image Recognition Wizard", which I think should solve all the problems.

The image is found and the mouse pointer moves to the correct position, but the following LClick does not click.

Note that the mouse pointer is a "hand" and not a "pointer", a possible reason?

A full test script is as follows, image_1.bmp needs to be recreated.

Code: Select all

//Set IGNORESPACES to 1 to force script interpreter to ignore spaces.
//If using IGNORESPACES quote strings in {" ... "}
//Let>IGNORESPACES=1

LClick *must* click. It blindly sends a mouse down event. It can't ever fail to do that. So if it doesn't have an effect the issue must be that it's clicking in the wrong place or at the wrong time, or perhaps the window you're clicking in isn't focused (sometimes a window needs focusing before a click can work).

I would try:

1. Before the FindImagePos make sure the window is focused with SetFocus
2. Before the LClick issue a short wait to allow time between the cursor getting there and the click: Wait>0.05
