Insert mouse click question

[bimmer5427]

Is there anyway to insert a double mouse click without having it tied to some absolute position on the screen? I would like to insert a double mouse click as the first action performed in my task, but I would like these mouse clicks to be performed on whatever position my cursor is over at the time I run that specific task.

This way I can vary the position of the double click everytime I run the task without having to go into the task editor.

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

Actually, the mouse clicks are dependant on window size, position and screen resolution. Hence, for a mouse to click, you need to specify the co-ordinates of the screen in the task, which could also differ with different screen resolutions. However, we have forwarded your request to our development team for consideration.

Hope that helps.

If I may add somethingf for development:

Wouldn't it be nice to click with the mouse where the "text cursor" (for keyboard input, not the mouse coursor) currently is located?

I think that this is the thing I need as well.

I do a FIND for a particular control on a web page, and then I need to CLICK at that location.
The control is not activated by ENTER, only by mouse click.

Thanks for the consideration.

Hello,

What we understand is, you have found a particular web control using 'Ctrl+f' and you want to click on it. Am I right?
Sometimes finding particular web control does not activate that control, in that case you can use 'Tab' or 'Shift+Tab' key to activate that web control and then hit 'Enter' key.
For your reference, we have attached sample task file (FileAndClick.atmn). Copy it under location, 'C:\...\My Documents\Automation Anywhere\Automation Anywhere\My Tasks' folder.
This task will search for 'Automation Anywhere' link on Tethys website and to click on that particular link it uses keyboard shortcut 'Shift+Tab' followed by 'Enter'.

Hope that helps.
