I am not sure about a console application.

In Windows the mouse pointer is called a ‘cursor’ and you can set the position by calling SetCursorPos(x,y). Note that if ClipCursor was used to limit its rectangular area of movement then it will remain in that area.

After setting its position you can post the button-down and button-up messages, in that order, to simulate a button press & release.

Thanks John,

Yep, got the cursor now moving all over the place using the Cursor->Position. I will now concentrate on the mouse clicking now. Smile | :)

Thanks again John.

You are welcome,

Just a thought that this may come in handy, if do not have the have the handle to the button and have the handle to the parent then you can call ChildWindowFromPoint to get it. I guess that if you know its coordinates then you already have the handle; anyway I thought I would pass that along.

you need either knowledge of COM to implement the project or you have to hack through the different browser using FindWindow api to reterieve the website name

This is best done at the router; anything you can do on the client side can be undone or usurped. The added benefit of doing it at the router is centralized logging.

How to launch an application in system startup in VISTA

Hi All,

As per our design my application should launch in the system startup itself.
and also my application require the privilegeg level as "requireAdministrator"
to function proper. So i added one manifest file and in that i mentioned the snippet below

<security>
<requestedprivileges>
<requestedexecutionlevel
level="requireAdministrator"
="" uiaccess="false">

with this everything is fine.
But the problem is that when the system restarts, My Application is geeting blocked,VISTA prompting "Windows has bloked some startup progrsms" this is not expected for my application.

how can i avoid this. i.e how can i start my application in system startup?

Please support me in fixing this problem?

Thanks in Adv,

Are

You can't, this is by design. Vista won't run an app at startup if running the app would result in a UAC prompt.

Debug vs Realese

hi,
When I am trying to run the my dll and program use it in release mode it crashs on these lines:

_AFXWIN_INLINE HINSTANCE AFXAPI AfxGetResourceHandle()<br />
<br />
            { ASSERT(afxCurrentResourceHandle != NULL);

in AFXWIN1.inl header

What can be the cause for that ?
It functions perfectly in debug mode.
Thanks, Confused | :confused:

Ohad

Sure?

You should use the debug dll in Debug mode,and the Release dll in release mode.

Atleast, should get idea, what problem may occurs in release, but not in debug build.

How... how you debugged a released mode dll

hi Hamid,
Happy new year dude, sorry it is not advisable to post WM_SHOWWINDOW message, you have to either use SetWindowPos api or ShowWindow api.... same apply for WM_SIZE message
