  2. MouseDown: Press the mouse button.
  3. MouseUp: Release the mouse button.

Notes

Example

By default, the click method setting holds a value of single sendinput message. System issues such as unstable networks, poor remote desktop connections, etc., can cause click-related built-in actions to unexpectedly fail to register with the AUT during automation. Changing the value of this setting to separate sendinput messages is one means of addressing this issue.

Note that use of the value separate sendinput messages ensures that a certain delay exists between submissions of the MoveMouse, MouseDown and MouseUp. You can further control the delay between the MouseDown and MouseUp messages by means of the built-in setting click delay.
