Re: [R] Generating mouse click and hold using R
No idea if the package below would work. This package is MSWindows only. Since this was readily found using a search engine, you should have mentioned that you already found this and why it didn't work for you when you posted. https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/KeyboardSimulator/readme/README.html https://stat.ethz.ch/R-manual/R-devel/library/base/html/Sys.sleep.html On March 13, 2024 6:31:59 AM PDT, Christofer Bogaso wrote: >Hi, > >I wonder if R can provide any functionality where I need simulate >mouse click in windows machine at certain coordinate on screen and >hold the click for certain seconds e.g. for 5 seconds > >Really appreciate if I can have someone suggestion how above can be >simulated with R > >Thanks and regards, > >__ >R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see >https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help >PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html >and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. -- Sent from my phone.

It's always possible to write some Windows API code to do that and call it from R using .Call() (SendInput() is relatively easy to use [*]), but that takes effort and knowledge of C. What I suggest to do instead is to write an AutoHotKey script, making use of the Click function [**] and taking arguments from the command line [***], and then launch that script using system2(). AutoHotKey is free software (GPLv2), designed specifically to automate other programs and should be much easier to use correctly than C. -- Best regards, Ivan [*] https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winuser/nf-winuser-sendinput [**] https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/v2/lib/Click.htm [***] https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/v2/Scripts.htm#cmd __ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
[R] Generating mouse click and hold using R
Hi, I wonder if R can provide any functionality where I need simulate mouse click in windows machine at certain coordinate on screen and hold the click for certain seconds e.g. for 5 seconds Really appreciate if I can have someone suggestion how above can be simulated with R Thanks and regards, __ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
