: I believe AutoHotkey is meant to simulate "system wide" events, that of course are grabbed by the active application, being the active application any of the apps the user can activate... So maybe this task asks for a synthetized event that is not distinguishable from an event generated by an user interaction (pressing a key e.g.). Rather, it is strongly operating system dependent (unless using a portable language which has a portable library/module which uses the same "interface" on different system, like <tt>$synth->button_down(LEFT, $x, $y)</tt> (fantasy perlish example). --[[User:ShinTakezou|ShinTakezou]] 16:28, 27 May 2009 (UTC) |

::: I don't know:D But I believe a "simulated mouse click" should be not distinguishable by a similar event generated by the user pressing the button... and the user can click everywhere... (what happens after depends on where s/he clicked of course), the click will be dispatched by the system to the app listening to, according to where the click happened. --[[User:ShinTakezou|ShinTakezou]] 10:41, 30 May 2009 (UTC) |

Should there be two separate tasks for ''this application/process's'' windows (internal), vs. anywhere on the screen (OS/window system access)? |
