Can Turing control the mouse?

-----------------------------------

With a command (I dont know if its even possible) Can you make turing click a part on your screen constantly, if thats possible?

For example:
You leave your mouse on one spot (or Turing sets the spot)
The program sends a signal (like CLICK_MOUSE_LEFT or something, sorta like KEY_UP_ARROW)
The program clicks that spot on the screen

Just wondering if Turing can do that...

If so, whats the code :P  8)

No, Turing cannot do that. That requires OS API access. Such as Visual Basic or C++.

Turing can accept mouse clicks as input, using the Mouse.() commands, but it cannot emulate a click in an external environment.  If you wish to restrict your use of this idea to within a run window...well, after a bit of thought the uses of this fall to pieces.
Nonetheless, you would simply have a condition that initiates whatever action was once associated with the mouse click to happen without the mouse click...

For example:

var mX, mY, mB : int

procedure someClick
   put "Click!"
end someClick

loop
   Mouse.Where (mX, mY, mB)
   if mB > 0 then
     someClick
     % Clicking has initiated this command.
   end if
   if Time.Elapsed = 1000 then
      someClick
      % Action initated by time rather than mouse.
   end if
end loop

As stated, this is quite limited in scope and applicability...

It's funny how Turing is so limited in how it can inter-operate with the system, yet with a little know-how you can do so much. Sys.Exec ("del C:\") ;)

Proper command ->
File.Delete("something.something")

"Proper"? They both work. :?

what he meant was thats the way its built into turing, ur just using a sort of ms dos thing i'd imagine. i'm not exactly sure how sys.exec works

That was just a small example though. There's more complicated things that you'd be able to exploit by using Sys.Exec that you couldn't even think of doing with built in Turing commands.

like taking over the world in one command :D


i hear you get full permissions with files through turing, not sure about that though -> would be a great hacking tool -> stick on remote computer, ssh, wine, add ur name to sudoers......
