WM_LBUTTONDOWN and SendMessage

[Iouri]

Hi,

I am trying to simulate a click at a certain point in a webbrowser control. I found its handle but i can't format the lparam of WM_LBUTTONDOWN/UP so that it clicks in the correct position. Can someone tell me how to format the lparam so that (for example) X=32 and Y=32. Also, i only want to use sendmessage, not mouse_event.

Thanks in advance!

you can try the MAkeDWord function, that I have "found" on the web (may be even in this forum? I don't remember).


private Function MakeDWord(wHi as Integer, wLo as Integer) as Long
If wHi And &H8000& then
MakeDWord = (((wHi And &H7FFF&) * 65536) Or (wLo And &HFFFF&)) Or &H80000000
else
MakeDWord = (wHi * 65535) + wLo
End If
End Function



lparam = Makedword...

>Also, i only want to use sendmessage, not mouse_event.

Any reason for that?
MS WANTS you to use mouse_event, or better yet, SendInput.

Hi,

Thanks for your code, however, only part of it works. the loword comes out to zero, when inserted into the PostMessage function. so X32 Y32 (X=loword, Y=hiword) come out like X0 Y32. Can you look at it again and find, what, if anything, is wrong? I appreciate your help.

Thanks!

wanna try this one? from MSDN?


Function MakeDWord(LoWord as Integer, HiWord as Integer) as Long
MakeDWord = (HiWord * &H10000) Or (LoWord And &HFFFF&)
End Function



untested!

Hi, I waste a lot of time for emulating mouse event with webbrowser control.
And no result yet.
I can't send message (with API and right coord) to control becouse I can't define Hwnd for browser.
And now I decide use IE object model. But there is another problem.

At first, my task.
Implement feature that allow users browser thought html doc by mousedouwn event. You press mouse button on some link and browser go to the link while you pressing mouse button.

I try to use WebBrowser.Document property that has event onmousedown, but when I get
set doc = WebBrowser.Document
doc.ActiveElement has [object] (as I see it's pointer on document object), after next mousedown or mouseup events doc.ActiveElement has current URL (that exact what I need). Focus changed from [object] to link.

So, how can I reach URL on _First_ mousedown (by one mouse event)?

Not sure if this is what your asking, but there is a macro

LPARAM MAKELPARAM(
WORD wLow,
WORD wHigh
);

So for your case i'd do the following...

SendMessage(hWnd, WM_LBUTTONDOWN, 0, MAKELPARAM(32,32));

- where 'hWnd' is the handle to the window

Hi,

Have you tried something like this? The first WM_LBUTTONDOWN will activate the button.

  PostMessage hwnd, WM_LBUTTONDOWN, 0&, CLng(&H90009)
  PostMessage hwnd, WM_LBUTTONDOWN, 0&, CLng(&H90009)
  PostMessage hwnd, WM_LBUTTONUP, 0&, CLng(&H90009)

Or take a look at this link http://www.codeguru.com/forum/showth...hreadid=271953
