[Bug 794489] Re: Windows: Management Console (mmc) windows block Sikuli mouse actions --- workaround

 

** Changed in: sikuli
       Status: In Progress => Won't Fix

** Changed in: sikuli
   Importance: Low => Undecided

** Description changed:

+ cannot be solved inside SikuliX, since all possible solutions need
+ SikuliX to be run with admin privileges.
+ 
  ***** workaround
  
  run Sikuli with administrator privileges (context menu)
  
  see faq 1771
  
  --------------------------------------------------------
  
  tested on Win7 (32Bit and 64Bit)
  
  A mmc window blocks any Java robot actions (this is the Java feature
  internally used to simulate the mouse actions), as long as the mmc
  window has focus.
  
  This is the fact, no matter how you manage to get a mmc-window to the
  front.
  
  So it is not possible to click() inside of an mmc window. It is even not
  possible to move the mouse, as long as mmc has focus.
