Use the Perform Mouse Move action to move the mouse to a specific point over a control. This action can be used if you need to hover the mouse over a target control in order for something to happen.

 

It is not necessary to use Perform Mouse Move each time you use Perform Mouse Click Action.

Target

Auto-configure

This is the recommended way to configure this property page. When you click on the "Click Here..." button, Automise is hidden and Find Control dialog is displayed.

While you search, Automise will place a red highlight rectangle around the control which is currently under the mouse pointer.

Navigate to a point over the control that you want to choose for the action, and Control-Click to select it. All of the other fields on the property page will be populated with a description of the control. In most cases, this is all you need to create a reproducible description of the target control.

However, you can fine tune the selection by editing each field on the property page. This is described in the Manual Configuration topic.
