StarInfo/Boura/Manuals/Click
This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.
Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

File contents
This utility will simulate a mouse click on the iconbar.
Syntax: Click <application name> [-select] [-menu] [-adjust] [-wait]
<application name> Name of application as known to task manager.
-select -menu -adjust Mouse clicks to simulate, at least one.
They will always be simulated in that order.
-wait If neccesary, wait until application has started.
As usual, the application name must be enclosed in quotes if it contains any
spaces.
eg
Click "CD Player" -select -wait
This will simulate a click with select on CD Player's iconbar icon to open
the control panel. If CD Player is not running, then it will wait until it
is.
