    Hi Anup,

    Here you are:

     

    Call PostMessage(..., MakeLParam(739, 441))

Function MakeLParam(x, y)
  MakeLParam = (x And &HFFFF&) Or (y * &H10000)
End Function

     

    But I still recommend using DblClick, because it does all the extra work for you - like bring the window to front, make sure it can receive clicks (that is, not overlapped by a modal window), and so on. Maybe DblClick just needs different coordinates. Try recording the click and see how it's recorded.

Hi,

I'm not sure what the value of why it is necessary to convert the result to a long, as VBScripts variant variables should be able to cope with it anyway.

Variables can be converted to a long integer using clng(expression).

Hi,

 

I'm having screen co-ordinates X and Y and want to use that values in a single integer value to pass as a parameter in.

PostMessage() method for click on a X,Y co-ordinates.

eg.

 

PostMessage (hWnd, WM_LBUTTONDBLCLK, MK_LBUTTON,  (739, 441))

 

where WM_LBUTTONDBLCLK = 515, MK_LBUTTON = 1 

 

and 4rth parameter that I want to convert in a single long interger value.

 

Please suggest me.

    TestComplete has built-in methods for mouse clicks. Try DblClick:

     

    obj.DblClick(739, 441);

      I have already tired but not clicking on same position that click on using PostMessage method.

      And after convert that two Long value in a single long interger value and when passing that in PostMessageMethod.

       

      It's clicking on right position.

       

      I have converted that value in my old program VisualTest,  It's returing value 28902115 after convert  X = 739 and Y = 441. 

       

       

      Reagrds,

      Anup
