mouse functions do not work

Post by dmehling »

When I create macro, I cannot seem to get the mouse functions to work. I have it set to click and nothing happens. What might the problem be?

Sorry, not sure what you mean. Are you saying that the trigger event is happening, but the mouse action isn't?

If so, can you add another action to the macro (like OSD) to make sure the trigger is actually working?

Also, you might have to do something with focus to make sure the click goes where you want it to.

I'm trying to create an automated sequence, where I have a macro that switches which soundcard I have in use. This requires having the mouse to move several times to specific coordinates and to have it click several times. This is not working. There is a strange inconsistency. Let's say I have the mouse move to a certain coordinate and then I want it to click after one second. If that's all the macro does then it works fine. But if I have any other actions set to occur within that same macro nothing happens. If I want it to move to another coordinate or to do another click, no other action takes place. Only the first click will be initiated. However it gets a little stranger than that. If I have the mouse set to click at a certain coordinate and then have it set to wait a duration of time, the mouse will not click until the waiting time is over. The wait action comes after the click action, but the click will not take place until after all of the wait actions are finished. But if there are other actions besides just wait actions, this behavior does not occur. Things are slightly different with the right-click action. If I have any other actions such as moving the mouse to other coordinates or to do other clicks that follow the first right-click action, it will not even do the first right-click. It's like adding additional actions prevents the first click action to take place. The right-click action also has the same kind of strange behavior with the wait actions. Any idea why such unusual behavior is occurring? By the way, I'm using Windows 7 if that has any possible connection to this issue.
