Accessing Scroll Wheel on Mouse

[kpassaur]

Here is the issue - the Press Page Down does not always work. 99% of the time it does, however sometimes it does nothing in the script and when I manually press it nothing happens either. It really makes no sense to me. However if I use the scroll wheel on the mouse and move it a fraction of an inch it works again. It seems to be related to the web page it is on as it will be fine on 10-20 pages and then act up two or three times on one.

My thought is if I can just move the scroll wheel a little before the Press Page Down is executed it would correct it. But I can't seem to find anything on how to do it.

Sounds like a focus thing. The scroll wheel will set focus to whatever is below the pointer.

Yeah, but how to fix it. The script is rather simple the cursor moves to a position on the web page and clicks it. It repeats this process 5 times and then Press Page Down is run so the page is refreshed. The cursor is above the page because you can manually move the wheel and the page moves, so it does have focus.

If you do a click (within the script) prior to the page down?

If you do a scroll wheel action with the mouse it will do a focus automatically, not by simply moving the cursor.

Yes it clicks and then Press Page Down is executed. As mentioned it works 99% of the time. I think I may have a work around. I have just tried image recognition and I am moving the mouse to the down arrow button and clicking on that before the Press Page Down.

The downside is since I can't duplicate it I really won't know if it is actually fixed until it is run numerous times.

It could be something else stealing the focus in that 1% of the cases?

The left clicking the down arrow did not always work. However, if I use the LDown function Wait>.2 and then the LUp it seems to work better.
