SikuliX

Use more than 3 mouse buttons

Asked by Vincent

Hey there,

I wonder if it's possible to use the other click of the mouse

The soft i'm using has many different click possible (Left Click = B1 / Right Click = B3 / middleClick = B2)

there are the 3 differents clicks are usable with click, rightClick ...

But on my mouse i need to use some other buttons (B4, B5 for example) and i wonder how can i use them or if i have to write a little function like i've done for the click B2 (middleClick) which is the WheelClick :

Click B2 =

#start

def middleClick(self, psmrl):
    try:
        psmrl = sel.find(psmrl).getTarget()
    except:
        pass
    hover(psmrl)
    mouseDown(Button.MIDDLE)
    mouseUp(Button.MIDDLE)

#end

Thanks for you answer
Vincent.

Not a feature in the current SikuliX implementation.

... but you might try to implement it using the Java Robot class (used by SikuliX internally).

the respective functions are
java.awt.Robot::mousePress(buttonMask)
java.awt.Robot::mouseRelease(buttonMask)

In a SikuliX script you can say:

input java.awt.Robot as JR
robot = new JR()
robot.mousePress(integerValue)
robot.mouseRelease(integerValue)

consult the respective Java documentation for details.

Can you help with this problem?
