What I would like to achieve, put it simply, by one single mouse click, it would trigger buy/sell market button cliks on different trading platformss (3-4 of them), paneled side by side. Ideally at the same time, with the least delay...
Can you think of the best trick to realise such task ?
thanks a lot
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
With bindings, will there not be a windows focus problem ?
My main platform has PS4/XBOX controller and keyboard trading enabled, NT8 has keyboard too, however two other platform I use support only mouse click, hence I would need to focus on simulated simultaneous mouse clicks really
Maybe someone has wrote scripts with AutoHotkey or else, I am not sure
Low level .Net routines and variables allow most things, I use this a lot under NT7/Windows7, I can't see why it would be a problem under later versions of either. Using separate thread(s) is also best to get decent timings and avoid any main NT thread clash or holdup. Google will find you anything that you need if you are happy to do it in C#.
e.g. a simple utility using the Windows 'mouse_event' function and the Cursor variable that I use:
Note that points are in screen pixels in a global space across all monitors relative to topleft on the main monitor, +ve and -ve in both directions. 'showClicks' and 'falseClicks' are just diagnostic booleans.
Plenty of ways to handle focus issues either with system routines or calling the click routine on another area of the window(s).
Regarding the last AutoIt script, I tried to adapt it to make it a triple cursor/click instead of double
However the cursor markers are blinking and fading out of sight most of the time.
Can anyone familiar with AutoIt give it a quick try (to make it triple cursor/click) ? I'd be grateful!
