Hi. I have been using event ghost for my media pc controlling an ir receiver/emitter and so far its done all I would ever want it to do.
I have also used it to intercept and change the function of a Bluetooth remote to perform different functions.
But I have a new use for it that i can't see how to do it.
I want to find a certain image/icon on screen and move the mouse there, then move a set distance from that location so it selects a certain input box. This box is always relative to the image.
I dont really want to use find window because the location of the image and box in the window could change.
I don't want l to use the move to a certain location because the window itself might move.
I previously used autoremote to find the image then move the mouse so many pixels (which is always the input box location) but i prefer using event ghost.
Google didn't return anything useful surprisingly

Move mouse cursor to certain image on screen
Re: Move mouse cursor to certain image on screen
Can you find/raise window and than send "tab" key presses with EG until that input box is active/highlighted?

Be there or be square.

Re: Move mouse cursor to certain image on screen
I don't know how possible/easy it would be to do this in EventGhost, but I know that Autohotkey is able to locate by image and then move a mouse pointer to it. Autohotkey is a free scripting language not related to EventGhost or Python, but can be run from EventGhost to do stuff (or independent from EventGhost).pbrown77 wrote:I want to find a certain image/icon on screen and move the mouse there, then move a set distance from that location so it selects a certain input box.

Re: Move mouse cursor to certain image on screen
Cheers all.
I don't think tab works but good idea so will give it a shot.
I actually meant autohotkey not autoremote and previously used that on the old pc, was just hoping to switch to eventghost for this application as well. Not much point for me using autohotkey in eventghost as it's the only function I'll be using so may as well run autohotkey on its own I guess.
Edit. I guess it would be easier to use eventghost and autohotkey together as it'll be easier to trigger hid button in eventghost.
