Vba to record mouse movement

[thedeadzeds]

Guys,

Is there a way to record the mouse movements within VBA. I essentially want to use excel to open an external program and execute specific commands within that program. Unfortunaetly the extrenal program is not a micorsoft program

Kind Regards

Try to see if the external application accepts any connections. That would be the best way to go from there.

Otherwise you can download a mouse tracking program. That will give you the coordinates of where your mouse is. You can then use VBA to move mouse to the coordinates and use click command. How ever you would have to account for lag time in your code and also the monitor and resolution size of your screen.
