>This should be simple but I've not had any success so far. In VFP 6.0 I have a standard form with two controls on it: a command button and the "Image" ActiveX OLE Control that comes with Windows 2000 (Imaging.EditCtrl.1). I'd like to be able to click on the command button and then programmatically move the mouse pointer somewhere over the imaging control and then programmatically issue a mouse click. My current code in the command button is:
>
>* - Just load an image into the imaging control
>ThisForm.Olecontrol1.Display()
>
>MOUSE AT 5,5
>MOUSE CLICK
>
>The mouse movement works just fine, however, the MOUSE CLICK code doesn't. I've tried a variety of similar approaches without any success.
The problem is that the MOUSE CLICK is sent to the hWnd of the form, not the control it's positioned over; you should either get the hWnd of the ActiveX control and use PostMesage() to pass a WM_MOUSEDOWN and WM_MOUSEUP to the hWnd of the ActiveX control, or simply invoke the Click() method of the control on the form.
