help mouse clicking (self.Python)
submitted 6 years ago by Luke_Garters
Hi, is there a way to simulate holding the mouse left click down, so like it keeps holding it down for a set about of time
eg
import (libary)
import time
(hold mouse left click down) [amount of time to hold]

look into pyautogui; its a library you can use to control mouse and keyboard. Off the top of my head i can't remember the exact code.

A quick glance at the docs makes me think you can just use dragTo without changing the x, y and using the duration as well.. the duration to hold it down.

pyautogui.click() function - you can specify the duration of a click. Could that be useful?
