Mouse Click from within TB

[SDT HAMMER]

Hi All
A question around IL2 1946 and mouse clicks.

My Aim
I want to configure a button to operate within IL2 1946 during online game play.
I want this button to be a single press "touch" button that does the following when I have been shot down/crashed/bailed out:-
press ESC key (to get up menu with refly option)
press REFLY (to get up menu to refly/change sides/choose aircraft etc)

Current Status
"Touch" button exists in my profile and is functional
Press ESC key is operational (macro_select = predef:ESCAPE)
Press REFLY I cannot get to work at all.

As far as I can see there are no keyboard options within IL2 1946 to drive this menu to choose REFLY; you always have to use the mouse to click the screen.
I have tried RAWKEYS and Predef in an attempt to get TB to simulate a mouse click on the relevant part of the screen and have failed miserably to get it to work.

any ideas anyone ?

TouchBuddy just sends keyboard keystrokes, not mouse clicks. So it probably cannot be done.

Hi
I've used this program before AutoHotkey - Free Mouse and Keyboard Macro Program with Hotkeys and AutoText. It allows assigning mouse clicks to keys, not sure whether it will work for your situation, but combining autohotkey scripts with touch buddy makes a powerful combination. Give it a try and let us know.

SytRep ... how cool is that app??? Wow, thanks for posting! I don't really know exactly what I'm going to use it for yet, but I can't wait to start tinkering.

Hi All
OK Thanks for the replies and for the AutoHotkey option... it works a treat !
Here's how I put it together.

AutoHotkey script -(mouse click at specifc point on screen):
!a::Click 720, 640 (alt+A)

Touchbuddy profile -(as requirement in 1st post above):
macro_select = predef:ESCAPE (bring up options)
macro_select = predef:MENU, KEYDOWN (press and hold ALT)
macro_select = predef:A (press A)
macro_select = predef:MENU, KEYUP (release ALT)

Have TB and AutoHotkey running at same time and it works exactly as I want.
Getting the position on the screen for the mouse click was trial and error with changing the numbers till it moved to where I wanted it.

Again...thank you very much
