## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

## ◆ wxUIActionSimulator()

wxUIActionSimulator::wxUIActionSimulator | ( |  | ) |

Default constructor.

## Member Function Documentation

## ◆ Char()

bool wxUIActionSimulator::Char | ( | int | keycode,
|  | int | modifiers = `wxMOD_NONE`
| ) |  |

Press and release a key.

Parameters

  keycode | Key to operate on, as an integer. It is interpreted as a wxKeyCode.
  modifiers | A combination of wxKeyModifier flags to be pressed with the given keycode.

## ◆ KeyDown()

bool wxUIActionSimulator::KeyDown | ( | int | keycode,
|  | int | modifiers = `wxMOD_NONE`
| ) |  |

Press a key.

If you are using modifiers then it needs to be paired with an identical KeyUp or the modifiers will not be released (MSW and OSX).

Parameters

  keycode | Key to operate on, as an integer. It is interpreted as a wxKeyCode.
  modifiers | A combination of wxKeyModifier flags to be pressed with the given keycode.

## ◆ KeyUp()

bool wxUIActionSimulator::KeyUp | ( | int | keycode,
|  | int | modifiers = `wxMOD_NONE`
| ) |  |

Release a key.

Parameters

  keycode | Key to operate on, as an integer. It is interpreted as a wxKeyCode.
  modifiers | A combination of wxKeyModifier flags to be pressed with the given keycode.

## ◆ MouseClick()

bool wxUIActionSimulator::MouseClick | ( | int | button = `wxMOUSE_BTN_LEFT` | ) |

Click a mouse button.

Parameters

  button | Button to press. See wxUIActionSimulator::MouseDown for a list of valid constants.

## ◆ MouseDblClick()

bool wxUIActionSimulator::MouseDblClick | ( | int | button = `wxMOUSE_BTN_LEFT` | ) |

Double-click a mouse button.

Parameters

  button | Button to press. See wxUIActionSimulator::MouseDown for a list of valid constants.

## ◆ MouseDown()

bool wxUIActionSimulator::MouseDown | ( | int | button = `wxMOUSE_BTN_LEFT` | ) |

Press a mouse button.

Parameters

  button | Button to press. Valid constants are `wxMOUSE_BTN_LEFT`, `wxMOUSE_BTN_MIDDLE`, and `wxMOUSE_BTN_RIGHT`.

## ◆ MouseDragDrop()

bool wxUIActionSimulator::MouseDragDrop | ( | long | x1,
|  | long | y1,
|  | long | x2,
|  | long | y2,
|  | int | button = `wxMOUSE_BTN_LEFT`
| ) |  |

Perform a drag and drop operation.

Parameters

  x1 | x start coordinate, in screen coordinates.
  y1 | y start coordinate, in screen coordinates.
  x2 | x destination coordinate, in screen coordinates.
  y2 | y destination coordinate, in screen coordinates.
  button | Button to press. See wxUIActionSimulator::MouseDown for a list of valid constants.

## ◆ MouseMove() [1/2]

bool wxUIActionSimulator::MouseMove | ( | long | x,
|  | long | y
| ) |  |

Move the mouse to the specified coordinates.

Parameters

  x | x coordinate to move to, in screen coordinates.
  y | y coordinate to move to, in screen coordinates.

## ◆ MouseMove() [2/2]

bool wxUIActionSimulator::MouseMove | ( | const wxPoint & | point | ) |

Move the mouse to the specified coordinates.

Parameters

  point | Point to move to, in screen coordinates.

## ◆ MouseUp()
