Need help BougeSouris

hello,

Zzd10h to create BougeSouris command to my remote project AmigaOs4.x
BougeSouris moves the mouse pointer and the left button to open folders and launch applications.

The problem is that the left mouse button does not close the window, it does not work.
Zzd10h find no solution to this little problem.

We need the help of a developer to find a solution.

Thank you in advance for your help

@sinisrus

I have to clarify that to send a SELECTDOWN / SELECTUP on a Close gadget works well on
-Qt window (tested with SMTube)
-Reaction window (tested with Notepad and Ranger)
-MUI window (tested with Odyssey and SysMon)

It seems that it doesn't work only on Workbench drawer window.

For example, download BougeSouris on OS4Depot


1) open a drawer and precisely put it in the upper left of your screen.

2) in a Shell, type "BougeSouris X=18 Y=14 CLICK" to hit the Close gadget

3) the close gadget blink but the drawer window doesn't close

4) now, put the window of a program in the same place (for example YAM)

5) retype the same BougeSouris command

6) YAM will close it.

To simulate a Click, BougeSouris send



As mentionned in the readme :
The move mouse pointer function is based on source find here :

Thank you

If you're manipulating WB windows, isn't it better to use ARexx, rather than fake mouse events?

see video:

@Chris
From withing a C program it might be better to use workbench.library and use WhichWorkBenchObject() to get the name of the window under the pointer and CloseWorkBenchObject() to close it. However, I don't know how Workbench would determine which window to close if 2 windows have the same name.

The goal of the program is to move a cursor and sometimes to click on the screen.

If the cursor hit on a close gadget, it should close the window.
The goal is not to close a window as soon as the cursor click inside a workbench window, in this case, yes. whichworkbenchobject could have been helpful.

The problem is why it works for all the windows type except workbench drawers.

Thank you ;)

It doesn't look to me like you are sending enough information. I would expect to see a SELECTDOWN before a SELECTUP at the very least.

@Rigo
In the video than Sinisrus posted, it uses a

FakeEvent->ie_Code=SELECTDOWN ;

instead of the

FakeEvent->ie_Code=IECODE_LBUTTON  ;

before the

FakeEvent->ie_Code=SELECTUP;

but it doesn't make a difference. It still fails ONLY for wb drawers.

Quote:
SDK:Include/include_h/intuition/intuition.h defines SELECTDOWN as (IECODE_LBUTTON) so they are presumably the same value.

Strangely, the WorkBench drawer window is deactivated when it receives the gadget up message and another Workbench window is activated just like what happens when a Workbench drawer window is closed. It's as though Workbench thinks the window was closed.

@All

thank you for your help

Hi, try to change/add in 'void actionClick(void)':


FakeEvent->ie_Qualifier    = IEQUALIFIER_RELATIVEMOUSE|IEQUALIFIER_LEFTBUTTON;
and maybe
IECODE_LBUTTON|IECODE_UP_PREFIX; isn't necessary (just stay with your original SELECTUP tag)

@jabirulo

Thank you Javier,
I will try tomorrow, did you tested it ? Did it fails for you too before to change the code ?

@zzd10h

yep it failed too here on latest beta. but with 'ie_Qualifier' seems working fine

All thx should go too rmouse.lzx (sources included) from os4depot.

@jabirulo
Youpi, you are great !
I will test tomorrow. Thank you

@zzd10h

Jabirulo is correct you need to take care of the qualifier, you were not setting at all which will might result in random results, but in any event no qualifier has a specific value which is not simply zero.


Try this little test, press shift and click the window close gadget of a workbench window, it deactivates and doesn't close. In fact the parent activates / opens.


I'm not sure that IEQUALIFIER_LEFTBUTTON is correct on the second 'SELECTUP' event, after all the left mouse button is no longer pressed.

BTW you can uses ADDEVENT rather than WRITEEVENT for RAWMOUSE and RAWKEY events on OS4 it's more efficient.

Odds are that drawer was the parent of the one you clicked

Because the qualifier wasn't being set properly a SHIFT was being added activate the little know open parent function.

@Broadblues
You are right, pressing SHIFT during close have the same behaviour that BougeSouris without the ie_Qualifier that Javier spotted.

Fabien, on Amiga-NG.org still adviced me to add IND_ADDEVENT. It fixed the issue on SAM440 & SAM460 but not on X1000. Therefore it was maybe a piece of luck ;)

But now, IND_ADDEVENT + ie_Qualifier => it works very well.

Thank you for your help !

Thank you

Thank you,

Is it possible to know the position of the active window's system gadgets ?
How?
