Parameters

The method has the following parameters:

X

Specifies the horizontal coordinate of the start point for dragging.

This coordinate is relative to the top-left corner of the control’s recognition area marked with a red frame in the Preview box of the ImageSet editor.

If the parameter is omitted, the drag will be simulated in the center of the recognition area.

Y

Specifies the vertical coordinate of the start point for dragging.

This coordinate is relative to the top-left corner of the control’s recognition area marked with a red frame in the Preview box of the ImageSet editor.

If the parameter is omitted, the drag will be simulated in the center of the recognition area.

toX

Specifies the horizontal dragging distance in pixels.

toY

Specifies the vertical dragging distance in pixels.

Shift

Sets whether the Shift, Alt or Ctrl keys are pressed during the click (see TShiftKey). By default, this parameter is skNoShift (no shift keys are pressed). Sometimes, the Shift parameter may not be enough, and you may need to simulate key presses in script code. See Simulating Keystrokes.

SearchArea

Specifies the area, within which the method will search for the image. Can take the following values:

  • Your current computer desktop. Access it by calling the Sys object or the Sys.Desktop property.

  • A window or onscreen object in your desktop or web application.

If the parameter is omitted, the method will search for the image on your PC desktop.

Result Value

None.
