Is there a way I can control the mouse with python? I need to be able to
navigate and click in other applications based on vectors sent from my
program. Basically a mouse macro type thing.
any help? 1 14799
Very nice. Very helpful! Thank you!!
I ran around looking at ctypes and the User32 dll looking for mouse click
control and couldn't find anything. Is there a way for me to send a mouse
click too?

I assume you're on Windows. Here's how to move the mouse:
from ctypes import * windll.user32.SetCursorPos(100, 100)
You can get ctypes from http://starship.python.net/crew/theller/ctypes/
As an added bonus, here's something that moves it relative to the currently-focussed window, which is probably useful for what you want (note that this one doesn't work on 95 or NT4 pre SP3, and it could use some error handling).
from ctypes import *
user32 = windll.user32 kernel32 = windll.kernel32
class RECT(Structure): _fields_ = [ ("left", c_ulong), ("top", c_ulong), ("right", c_ulong), ("bottom", c_ulong) ]
class GUITHREADINFO(Structure): _fields_ = [ ("cbSize", c_ulong), ("flags", c_ulong), ("hwndActive", c_ulong), ("hwndFocus", c_ulong), ("hwndCapture", c_ulong), ("hwndMenuOwner", c_ulong), ("hwndMoveSize", c_ulong), ("hwndCaret", c_ulong), ("rcCaret", RECT) ]
def moveCursorInCurrentWindow(x, y): # Find the focussed window. guiThreadInfo = GUITHREADINFO(cbSize=sizeof(GUITHREADINFO)) user32.GetGUIThreadInfo(0, byref(guiThreadInfo)) focussedWindow = guiThreadInfo.hwndFocus
# Find the screen position of the window. windowRect = RECT() user32.GetWindowRect(focussedWindow, byref(windowRect))
# Finally, move the cursor relative to the window. user32.SetCursorPos(windowRect.left + x, windowRect.top + y)
if __name__ == '__main__': # Quick test. moveCursorInCurrentWindow(100, 100)
Hope that helps,
