Control X screen saver pops up

When using control X, sometimes the screen saver will pop up when simulating clicks or key presses. I can't figure out why and it wont go away. Someone suggested downloading the most recent version but it has the same problem. HELP!!!

It can be minimized with some tricks and workarounds but i believe the issue is how the object accesses window messages, If you make sure the mouse is always up when simulating a mouse down and always down when simulating a mouse up it is less common, also if the user moves the mouse it will negate the screensaver, perhaps it might be possible to temporarily disable the screen saver with the bigbox or another extension..

Best of luck

I tried switching off screen saver all together in my properties and it still does it, only it makes my monitor sleep.

Dang, you could try using the kernel object to send keystrokes and mouse clicks to a desired application directly.

Here is a list of window messages.

I think the ones you need are

WM_KEYDOWN = 0x100
WM_KEYUP = 0x101

I just want to do exactly what the control X does but without this problem....is there a way to turn off the sleep thing?

Use the Key Object instead.

it doesnt simulate mouse clicks and key presses only detects them

This problem has been fixed and code sent to Yves for release. But if you want it now, you can download it here.

Fast work, z33z! Thank you. :)

z33z just wondering, did I ever mention that you are AWSOME?!?!?!?!?

EDIT: Is that the runtime or the extension...?

Thx! :)

It's just the extension, no runtime. I can give you the runtime as well if you want, otherwise put this one in both folders until the extionsion pack is released by Yves.

can I have the runtime?

EDIT:
Simulating the arrow keys doesnt seem to work...I type in "right Arrow" and nothing happens

I would recommend using the advanced simulations instead, since it's by far better handling non character keys. But here you are . Replace both runtime version and the one in the extension folder. The right arrow is just called "right". :)
