Assigning a Hotkey in Autoit - autoit

Question

I want to use space bar to "click" a specific button in a window with autoit (without focusing the program?), like a "start" button in a game.
I tried to use ControlClick function but It's doing nothing by the way. I think i'm doing something wrong.
HotKeySet( "{space}", "MyFunction")
Func MyFunction()
ControlClick ( "title", "text", controlID [, button = "left" [, clicks = 1 [, x [, y]]]] )
EndFunc
Is it something like that?

Answer 1

Your way doing it is good. You are missing the title and the controlID of the ControlClick function. The 1st and 3rd parameter should be set to the title of the window and the control ID of the control.
To get those use the AutoIt tool that comes with autoit installation.
Set those properly and the code should work.

Answer 2

U can use it like this.
First start AutoIt info program to get desired coordinates ( place where u want to click ), use finder tool to get coorinates of mouse and edit it in a script.
So when u run ur script it will do nothing untill u press Spacebar, then it will run function MyFunction 1 time.
So it move mouse on given position, make pause of half second then left click on desired position $x and $y 1 time and srcipt stop untill u press space again then he make same procedure.
I added exit function so u can turn it off by just press ESC key.
HotKeySet( "{SPACE}", "MyFunction")
HotKeySet( "{ESC}", "CloseScript")
Global $x = 519 ; x is first value of mouse position
Global $y = 900 ; y is second value of mouse position
While 1
sleep(10)
Wend
Func MyFunction()
MouseMove($x, $y, 2) ; moves the mouse pointer do mouse position with speed 2
Sleep(500) ; wait 500 ms half of second ( delay )
MouseClick("left", $x, $y, 1, 2) ; now click left mouse key on mouse position, 1 click with speed 2
EndFunc
Func CloseScript()
Exit
EndFunc
