simulate a Users’ mouse actions

13 New Member
Hi,

Is there anyway to simulate a Users’ mouse actions using coldfusion? The goal is the automatically complete a series of online forms that have text boxes, drop down menus, links and Submit buttons. Thanks

Not with Coldfusion, but should be possible with JavaScript unless you mean over a number of pages.

Yes, I would like to automate an order in a document management system. Total of five different web pages with the same URL.If Javascript is the answer, is it possible to nest the javascript between a series of <cfhttp> tags. (One set of <cfhttp> tags for each page)

As far as I'm aware, I'm afraid not. Since you're using cfhttp, post the values to the action page using cfhttpparam. That should simulate a user posting a form.

Thanks for your help. Just so I'm clear, I can post data to the text fields of a form using <cfhttp> but I unable to click a button, drop down or check box.

cfhttp can simulate a form submit to an action page, so the result of typing a few letters in a text field, checking a check box, selecting a radio button or an option from a drop down can all be simulated. You just have to post the results of those actions via cfhttpparam. For example, the checked checkbox value is passed when the form is submitted and unchecked ones are ignored.

Sometimes I'm a little slow. I like the blame the public school system in Kentucky. Now that I've plugged all of the form data into <cfhttp> and <cfhttpparram > tags I have a question about the cfhttparram type=body. Can the type=body be used to send a link click to the from action url?

If it's a link click you want, just use cflocation to relocate to the linked page.

Have you got the form simulation working?

I haven't worked my way through the 5 pages in the ordering process.
Order Form Flow:
Page 1 - Login page(this I have completed with the form post - I think)
Page 2 - I need to click one link
Page 3 - This page is the hardest, I need to select a folder and then enter a quantity and click a button to enter my choose into a shopping cart
Page 4 - Text fields and drop down menus
Page 5 - Done(Confirmati on Page)
What ya thing, doable?

To test if a page request has been successful, check the cfhttp.fileCont ent variable for the response body or cfhttp.statusCo de for the status ("200 OK" would be successful).

What does the link do? Can you show the code for it.

Greetings, I have a very simple question. How do you simulate a user input to turn off a screen saver in Windows (either a mouse movement, mouse click, or keyboard input)? I promise I searched the newsgroup before asking :) I have written the following program that loads all my Webshots files into the Webshots photo manager, or so I thought. When you load the first it starts the screen saver. All other subsequent ones are not

But if I want to allow the user to use Del key on the keyboard, I lost this kind control.

I am writing a c# class which main purpose is to simulate the dialog with a GUI-application. The idea is that this class can simulate some user actions like mouse clicks on buttons. I have found the following possibilities to simulate it: 1) Use SendInput Function (user32.dll) (unmanaged code) 2) Use System.Windows.Forms.SendKeys (managed code)

Is it possible to simulate a mouse click in the window I made (it's a Form), but not give it focus? I tried using WinAPI's mouseevent and SendMessage of WM_LBUTTONDOWN/WM_LBUTTONUP as suggested by the folks in #winapi on EFnet, but I think those require the window to have focus. Either that, or I'm doing something else wrong. The click actually seems to work once, and then stops working... I have no idea what is the problem actually....
