A Chocolatey extension providing helper functions to send mouse clicks (mouse related SendInput calls). These functions may be used in Chocolatey install and uninstall scripts by declaring this package a dependency in your package's .nuspec.
As the package is an extension, it gets usually installed automatically as a dependency. However, you can still install it manually:
choco install sendmouseclick.extensionTo create a package with the ability to use a function from this extension, add the following to your .nuspec specification:
<dependencies>
<dependency id="sendmouseclick.extension" version="REPLACE_WITH_MINIMUM_VERSION_USUALLY_CURRENT_LATEST" />
</dependencies>It is possible to import the module directly in your PS >, so you can try out the main functionality directly:
# import the modules
Import-Module "${env:ChocolateyInstall}\helpers\chocolateyInstaller.psm1"
Import-Module "${env:ChocolateyInstall}\extensions\sendmouseclick\*.psm1"
# get a list of all functions
Get-Command -Module 'sendmouseclick.extension'
# get help and examples for a specific function
Get-Help Send-MouseClick -Detailed
# left-click on the center of the current primary screen (implies -Position 'Center')
Send-MouseClick
# left-click at the current cursor position
Send-MouseClick -Position $null
# bring the first window that contains the name 'foo' to the front, focus it and
# left-click on the center of the current primary screen
Send-MouseClick -Query 'foo'
# left-click at the position X100, Y200 of the current primary screen
Send-MouseClick -Position (100, 200)
# bring the first window that equals the name 'foo' to the front, focus it and
# left-click on the center of the current primary screen
