Auto Click on Application Window without Mouse Click
Now you can auto-click on an application window without automating mouse clicks that depend on screen location. The Direct Click macro action sends a mouse click directly to the application window without moving the mouse cursor or simulating a physical mouse click. You can use the Direct Click macro action as displayed in the screenshot below to send left mouse clicks directly to an online game, desktop game, or any other application window while using your mouse cursor for other Windows tasks. Your mouse cursor is not moved or used to simulate or automate mouse clicks when using the Direct Click macro action.
Using the Direct Click macro action in a script is as simple as using any other macro action. To add the Direct Click macro action to your script, you can use a keyboard shortcut or the Pick button as described in Add Macro Actions to the Script. Finding the appropriate application window and sending mouse clicks to the target X and Y coordinates is handled automatically by Auto Mouse Click Software. Even if the application window is moved across the screen, the Direct Click macro action ensures that automated left clicks are sent to the correct location within the target window.
The procedure below outlines the steps required to use the Direct Click macro action. While using this unique mouse automation action follows a similar workflow to other actions, understanding its underlying functionality allows you to work across multiple application windows simultaneously.
- Select the Direct Click macro action from the list of macro actions, then move the mouse cursor over the desired screen location on the target application window.
- Add the Direct Click macro action to the script by specifying time delay, repeat count, and coordinates. Note that the mouse cursor will not move to the screen location when executing this macro action.
- Execute the macro script and verify that the Direct Click action has clicked the intended location on the application window.
- Move the application window to another screen location and execute the macro script again to verify that the macro clicks the exact spot despite the window's new position.
- You can continue using your mouse cursor to work on other application windows while the Direct Click macro action clicks on the target window.
Note: While the Direct Click macro action works across many application windows, browsers, and games, technical limitations may prevent it from interacting with certain window types. If the Direct Click macro action does not click inside your game or application window, use the Left Click Macro Action, which simulates mouse clicks at specific screen coordinates. The Direct Click macro action has been successfully tested on buttons, native Windows controls, web pages in Chrome Browser, and games like Cookie Clicker.
