nativeMouseClick

nativeMouseClick(objectOrName, button)

nativeMouseClick(objectOrName, x, y, button)

This function simulates a native mouse click on the objectOrName widget at position x and y (if specified), otherwise at x=10 / y=10 (in the objectOrName widget's coordinates).

The button parameter is the mouse button that should be used, and must be one of MouseButton.LeftButton, MouseButton.MiddleButton, MouseButton.RightButton, or MouseButton.NoButton (to execute just a mouse move).

Use nativeMouseClick for input fields instead of mouseClick to make sure that clicking them moves input focus into them. This properly replicates a user action. The nativeMouseClick function ensures that the browser tab of the object has input focus and that it appears in front of other windows. This cannot be accomplished through the mouseClick function, which runs as part of the web site and cannot change the operating system input focus. It can only move the focus within the web site.
