Your description is a little confusing, in part because it's not clear what you mean by "auto clicker". Are you saying that you want to be able to select text manually with your mouse, then do something that uses the selected text? Traditionally, that has been done by a browser plug-in, which means different modules for each different browser. You can't do it with the normal UI automatic tools, because the browsers don't use normal window controls. They implement their own controls, then draw everything into a bitmap, then blit the bitmap to the screen. Basically, the browsers have become an operating system unto themselves. -- Tim Roberts, t...@probo.com Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
