[Development] Hardware Event

[Smarter]

I have been stumped on this issue for awhile. I need to click a button, but require a Hardware Event. Using ResetAfk() works SOMETIMES but not all the time. Is there something I'm missing?

PostMessage() is your friend.

I'm aware of that, but I would really prefer not to hack anything, I'd like to use API only functionality....

Styx.Helpers.KeyboardManager.PostMessage(uint msg, uint wParam, uint lParam)

That has been functioning okay, sending a KeyPress, but I need a way to send a Right Click to the Batch Post button of Auctioneer :-\. Not finding a way to do it.

Inject Lua. <frame name>:Click()

if you Find MaiN's method too difficult then you can always do right mouse clicks from macros. /click [button:3] buttonname

Auctioneer defines the button locally, otherwise I would have already done that, not to mention that the AH requires Hardware Events.....

/run local f = GetMouseFocus(); if f then DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(f:GetName()) end

Make that into a macro, put your mouse over the button, and it will give you the name of the element. use that in your /click macro.

Again, not possible.

Have a look inside blizz UI code. You can find XML and LUA on google, for example here:

Just see how they manage to do what you need when you click the desired button, then inject it with HB.
