Can JSL control mouse movements and clicks, and input numbers in other Windows?

lwx228 — Fri, 09 Jun 2023 22:09:35 GMT

For example, dt[1,1]=789 in the JMP table DT
In addition, there is other software xxx.exe in the specified location of the screen, it has a text box to fill the content, the text box has a confirmation button right.

I now want to implement through JSL:Move the mouse to the textbox range of xxx.exe and click once,make it to the current focus, then DT [1,1] the value of 789 to fill in the xxx.exe text box, and then control the mouse to move to the xxx.exe button position, and click once to complete the confirmation.

The x and y values in the figure are the coordinates of XXX. Exe in the current screen

This is a strange idea of mine.Thanks Experts!

Looks like I'm asking JSL to do something extra.
Excel's VBA can still do this.

However, VBA to complete the operation code has become more complex.

I don't believe JSL can automate that directly. I'd take a look at AutoHotkey, which can and is pretty intuitive to script. I'm like 98% sure you could launch an AHK script from JSL using the `Run Program` function.

Thanks!

There are several programs like AutoHotkey.

But I don't know how it fits into JSL. There are examples of AutoHotkey combination with VBA online.

Thank Michael_MXAK!

AHK's automatic controls are powerful and I recently took the time to learn them.
Using JSL to control calls to AHK can accomplish a lot.
In this case, I use JSL to control AHK to automatically open the specified website to obtain its cookie for JMP to download data for use.

Now through gemini3.1 pro

It is already known that JSL can also simulate these mouse keys

Press Enter:

dt<<Bring Window to Front;库=Load Dll("User32");库<<DeclareFunction("keybd_event",Convention(STDCALL),Alias("keybd_event"),Arg(UInt8,"bVk"),Arg(UInt8,"bScan"),Arg(UInt32,"dwFlags"),Arg(UIntPtr,"dwExtraInfo"),Returns(Void));回车=Hex To Number("0000000D");弹起=Hex To Number("00000002");库<<keybd_event(回车,0,0,0);库<<keybd_event(回车,0,弹起,0);Wait(0.1);库<<Unload Dll();

Combination key

RunProgram( Executable( "powershell.exe" ), Options( {"-WindowStyle", "Hidden", "-Command", "Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Windows.Forms; [System.Windows.Forms.SendKeys]::SendWait('^{F4}')"} ), Read Function( "text" ));

Thanks!
