Scripting help for dcexel

[te_lanus]

Hi Phoenix & co.

I just need a little help. I'm busy adding the Exelvision EXL100 to ECC. using DCEXEL

There is no command-line support, so a script is needed. I've started a script to be able to use the emulator, but it seems to need a mouse click to load software/cartridges. Is there a way to add a mouse click to the script?

Code: Select all

; Platform       	: exelvision
; Script for     	: dcexel
; Script version 	: v0.0.0.1

Hi te_lanus

You can try "MouseMove" for more docs visit the autoit3 webpage here: http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/functions.htm

I can help you if possible

I also tried it, it seems you also can't use the TAB button , so in my vision, this app is crappy programmed....

Hi te_lanus,

I got the solution for your part , since the window (to load roms) will not always appear on the same section of the screen, you need to get the X & Y position of it first, so:

1. Get the X & Y values of the top of the window.
2. then mousemove a certain of pixels from that location to a button.

I have tried to explain it here:

This would be the EXAMPLE code:

Spoiler: show

Code: Select all

If Not WinActive(" DCEXEL périphériques","") Then WinActivate(" DCEXEL périphériques","")
WinWaitActive(" DCEXEL périphériques","")

$coord = WinGetPos(" DCEXEL périphériques")

; Cartouche
MouseMove($coord[0] + 370, $coord[1]+ 70)

; Exelmemoire
MouseMove($coord[0] + 370, $coord[1]+ 100)

; Disque A
MouseMove($coord[0] + 370, $coord[1]+ 130)

; Disque B
MouseMove($coord[0] + 370, $coord[1]+ 160)

; Cassette
MouseMove($coord[0] + 370, $coord[1]+ 190)

The same goes for the "OK" button to be pressed. If you don't understand, feel free to ask

Hi Phoenix

Thanx for the info. If I have a problem I will give you a shout.

I'm away from the computer and home this weekend , so will only be able to get back to programming on Sunday.
