I'm trying a simple python script, it clicks on a screen coordinate.
I've tried with Pyautogui, pynput, pydirectinput, pywinauto... But in none of them the click is actually made, the only thing that works is to move the mouse to the coordinate.
the scripts are simple, but it still doesn't work, by deduction I think it's a win10 related problem.
Does anyone know how I can solve this?
Do I need to install anything else, maybe a driver?
Is it missing to give some kind of permission?
is there a way for me to give command to the mouse hardware to make the click, instead of being a virtualized click?
Some of my attempts below
OBS: In all attempts the mouse moves, but does not click.
Pyautogui:
import pyautogui
pyautogui.moveTo(35, 240)
pyautogui.click()
Pydirectinput:
import pyautogui
import pydirectinput
pydirectinput.moveTo(35, 240)
pydirectinput.click()
pywinauto:
import pywinauto
from pywinauto import Desktop, Application, mouse, findwindows
pywinauto.mouse.move(coords=(160, 400))
pywinauto.mouse.double_click(button='left', coords=(160, 400))
Direct windows click:
import win32api, win32con
def click(x,y):
win32api.SetCursorPos((x,y))
win32api.mouse_event(win32con.MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTDOWN,x,y,0,0)
win32api.mouse_event(win32con.MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTUP,x,y,0,0)
click(10,200)
Autoclicker using pynput:
import time
import threading
from pynput.mouse import Button, Controller
from pynput.keyboard import Listener, KeyCode
delay = 0.001
button = Button.left
start_stop_key = KeyCode(char='s')
exit_key = KeyCode(char='e')
class ClickMouse(threading.Thread):
def __init__(self, delay, button):
super(ClickMouse, self).__init__()
self.delay = delay
self.button = button
self.running = False
self.program_running = True
def start_clicking(self):
self.running = True
def stop_clicking(self):
self.running = False
def exit(self):
self.stop_clicking()
self.program_running = False
def run(self):
while self.program_running:
while self.running:
mouse.click(self.button)
time.sleep(self.delay)
time.sleep(0.1)
mouse = Controller()
click_thread = ClickMouse(delay, button)
click_thread.start()
def on_press(key):
if key == start_stop_key:
if click_thread.running:
click_thread.stop_clicking()
else:
click_thread.start_clicking()
elif key == exit_key:
click_thread.exit()
listener.stop()
with Listener(on_press=on_press) as listener:
listener.join()
Try this way:
import pywinauto
app = pywinauto.Application().connect(path='your_process_name.exe')
app.MainDialog.click_input(coords=(x, y))
For click method to work you need to specify the process/dialog on which the coordinate is present. Use connect() method to connect to a existing method else use start() to open new instance.
