How to record mouse movements?

Hello,
I have the most updated version of Mac OS on my 2014 Macbook Air. Is there a program I can use to record my mouse strokes and clicks? I am doing a repetitive task and would like for the mouse to move on its own and make the same exact movements and clicks. Is this possible on automator and if so how? And if not, what free program is available which can achieve this?
Thanks for the input!

When Automator is started, it normally asks for the kind of document that you want to create. Select "work flow". Then near to the upper right corner of the automator window there will be a red button labeled "record". from that point on all the mouse movements and clicks will be stored in the workflow until you click on the stop recording button that shows on a special floating window that automator displays while your mouse actions are recorded.

How to detect mouse movement/key press on Mac?

Need to write a VI that will detect/report mouse movement (ie. returns it's location) and any key (or key combinations) pressed. And, to send the mouse pointer to any location on screen. Using Labview 6i on Mac.

The event structure is new to LabVIEW 6.1. I could post 6.1 code but I cannot save the structure for previous and LabVIEW will not open a VI from a newer version. The best place to learn about the event structure is on the What's new in LabVIEW 6.1 page.

How to detect mouse move

Hi Guys and Gals out there,
Actually I've problem with mouse. I think I better explain a little bit my situation down here.
I have an Image with a few signatures, and I want user get every signature to apply on my form then I'm going to save that signature with personal data for every signature. Normally what we did is we select the signature (image) with mouse. But the problem is I don't know how... I really hope that some what who did it before could help me in this problem..... I'm sorry because I still new in Java....
Thanks in advance,
-Lee-

Hi Lee
Look at this program, it have 2 Components on the frame, lai is the 'big Image' and t2 is the Rectangle.
The mouseListener is added to 'lai' and the location of 't2' is changed when the mouse is dragged. when the mouse is released i create a new bufferedImage and draw a piece of the 'big Image' into it.

Mouse movement always added

I have unchecked the box that says record mouse movement, and
yet Captivate is always adding the mouse into my newly recorded
slides, forcing me to delete them.
Is there any way to change this behavior?

Hi RedScare
Are you talking about generically opening Captivate and
recording an entirely new project? Or are you instead talking about
adding additional slides to an existing project?
Either way, I would think Captivate should respect any
settings in place and give you what you want. So it's possible you
may be seeing a new issue that needs to be reported to the
development team.
As a workaround, if it's giving you mouse movement and you
really don't want it, you may easily turn the mouse off for a group
of slides by selecting all the slides containing the mouse
movement, then clicking Slide > Mouse > Show Mouse to turn it
off for the selection. That would save having to change it
individually on many slides.
How did this project begin life? Was it started in perhaps
Captivate 1 or 2 and later converted to 3? I know once in a while
we see issues from those actions.
Cheers... Rick

Automator: approximate mouse moves!

Hi,
I am new with Automator and I encounter problems when I play a previoulsy recorded mouse move process:
the mouse doesn't replicate the moves I recorded!
1° I want to modify the System Preferences, so I record the mouse going to Apple menu, click on it, select System Preferences:
http://cjoint.com/data/fosyejMnKb.htm
I stop the Automator recording.
2° I play the Process. Automator moves the mouse to Apple menu, click on it, BUT selects another item from the menu!
http://cjoint.com/data/fosBAZtm5R.htm
3° But as far as I can see, it seems that the process was correct:
http://cjoint.com/data/fosEc7hbLX.htm
Am I wrong somewhere?
Or is it a bug?
Thanks for your help!
PAul

The last link should be : http://cjoint.com/data/fphVYnfBtR.htm
I still don't understand why the movement are wrongly reproduced...
Anyboby knows?
ジョ
Oui tu as raison (je débute...) et j'ai suivi ton idée : j'ouvre bien les Préférences Système et complète ensuite en enregistrant mes mouvements de souris.
J'ai juste des soucis concernant les clics et valeurs :
Automator enregistre par exemple le nombre de fois que je clique sur une checkbox mais pas la valeur qu'elle doit prendre.
Idem pour les curseurs : Automator modifie leur valeur, mais en fonction de la position au moment où le processus est lu. Et malheureusement pas en leur affectant la valeur que j'avais défini lors de l'enregistrement.
Un moyen d'être plus fin dans les valeurs à affecter ?

Every keystroke and mouse movement, I get an audio notice that I need to shut off. In Safari, the cursor cycles thru every link and metadata field and I get a verbal/audio notice of what it is. How do I shut this option off???

Press the key combination command-F5 to deactivate VoiceOver. If that doesn't work, proceed as follows.
For OS X 10.7: From the menu bar, select
 ▹ System Preferences ▹ Universal Access ▹ Seeing ▹ VoiceOver: Off
For OS X 10.8 or later: Select

How to record menus that display when mouse hovers

The software I am creating a training session for has
pull-down menus that display when the mouse clicks on them or when
the mouse hovers over them. I can only get Captivate to record the
menus when the mouse is clicked - and cannot determine how to
record the menus that display when the mouse hovers. Can anyone
offer any suggestions as to how to fully capture the displayed
software screens and menus? Thanks.

You can change the timing yourself - just reduce the time the
slide catch
with print screen to a second or whatever works for you.

How to display item when mouse moves over Column value??

Hi there
It would be helpful if you could resolve the following :
i) I need to display the column 'A' values of my report in a Text field when mouse moves over column B of my report.
ii) I can able to display the same column value when mouse moves over or onclick happens. but my requirement is something like i have to display the other column value when mouse moves over.
iii) Also i noticed that, i can able to display the item only on "Display only Item" and not on Text field.
Any pointers to display my column value in Text field when onclick happens on my report column?
iv) One more thing that i noticed, i can able to perform onclick or mouse over only on Editable column and not on
non editable columns.
Any pointers on how to achieve the same when mouse moves over Non editable column of report?
Reference: I have created a dummy application (refer the following link), where i can able to display column value Salary on display only item using mouse move Event.
My requirement: when i click column Ename , the text field should show salary.

Any pointers on this would be appreciated.
Thanks

Vijay,
If you use Jquery then this should do the trick.
$(document).ready(function() {
   $(".t20Report t20Standard tr").hover(function() {
     $("#P2_SALARY").attr("innerHTML",$(this).find("td:last input").attr("value"));
{code}
after looking at the source of your page it seems that your class for your report region is *class="t20Report t20Standard"* I am not 100% sure but you might have to correct that in the template. I am not sure how the selector will handle the space in the class name.
Hope this helps,
Tyson

How control can be customized so that it changes its picture when mouse moves over it

How control can be customized so that it changes its picture when mouse moves over it. As it happens in other develpment enviroments that one can customized the look 'n feel of any thing during the mouse movement over that very thing. Moreover can any body plz tell me that how one can modify the funtionality of a control by him self (not selecting the available functionalities of controls and indicators)

The attached LV 7.1 code uses an event configured to trigger on two controls when a "Mouse Enter" or a Mouse Leave" event occurs. Depending on the type key focus is either assigned or removed.
Please elaborate on the Q re: customizing a control.
Ben
PS Do NOT change the boolean to an indicator, save, run, change to control, save run again. That is bad.

How to execute a method on mouse move event on an Image

Hi All,
I want to execute a method on mouse move event or mouse click event to an image.
how can i achieve this?
TIA,
Vishal

I am not sure if commandImageLink or goImageLink solve your requirement.
But as a workaround you can use set of ClientListener and ServerListener with af:image to achieve what you need.
using then you can capture client event and convert that into server event which you can use to call a bean method.
Inside this bean you can call a web service or method binding.
My first link in previous post shows that very well....

Plz Help! How to control mouse motion(use program to move/click the mouse)?

Hi people, plz give me some help on this: I wanna control mouse motion at another program's window, eg. control mouse movement in Internet Explorer's window. For a particular pixel on the screen, I need to move the mouse onto it instantly, then click. Please note that the java program(no applet) is going to run at the background, the current active window is some other programs like IE, notepad, etc.
Plz give me some clue about how to achieve this, thanks.
Do I need to do this through windows API or it can be done purely in JAVA?
Also, how to calculate the RGB color from a particular pixel on the screen?

My laptop had water spilled on it 3 days ago, I let it sit as instructed by best buy . I am on it right now but the mouse movement isn't smooth anymore and it is slower. The first time I turned it on it didn't respond at all, how bad is the damage.?

My laptop had water spilled on it 3 days ago, I let it sit as instructed by best buy . I am on it right now but the mouse movement isn't smooth anymore and it is slower. The first time I turned it on it didn't respond at all,can anyone tell how bad the damage really is without actually seeing it ? Do you think maybe it will be just a simple repair or am I looking at a whole new logic board?

Until you take it in so that a technician can look at it, it is all guessing and nothing more.
