AutoHotKey HELP!
« on: February 13, 2010, 02:02:40 pm »
I want to simulate a left click on the mouse about a half of second after the Exit button on my cabinet is pressed (ESC). I have the computer set to boot straight to MALA and load Donkey Kong which works perfectly, however when I press the exit button (ESC) to go back to the game list MALA no longer remains the top window and I need a left click of the mouse to get control back so I can scroll through the gamelist and select a game to play.  After the left mouse click everything works perfectly no matter how many times I play a game and then exit back to the front end.

Ideally, I'd like AutoHotKey to simulate the left mouse click ONE TIME ONLY after first pressing ESC.  Is this possible and if so, how do I get it working??

Thanks!!

Never mind!  there is an AutoHotKey forum which must be very active because I got an answer inside of 10 minutes and it appears to have worked!  Awesome!!!  I'm going to post the .ahk file in the MaLa forum...
