Macro for applying weapon poisons?

[MrHepp]

I grew tired of applying poisons manually to my rogue alt's weapons and tried to write a macro that performs this automatically. The problem is that I don't want to replace any existing poison; I only want to apply it if there is none there before.

This macro almost works:

/use Deadly Poison VII
/use 16
/click StaticPopup1Button2

It attempts to apply Deadly Poison to the main hand weapon, and clicks "No" if the "Do you want to replace <existing poison> with <this poison>?" dialog box shows up. But if this happens the poison is still selected and I have to press Escape to deselect it.

Now I click the macro key first, wait a couple of seconds and then press Escape. It works, but I want to avoid the Escape part. I there any way to do this?

Yes, it works for all kinds of buff items. It's exactly the same as right-clicking an item in your inventory and then click an item that you have equipped.

Aah, there is an addon for all types of problems But I still think my macro can work by just adding a line that clears the selection if the poison wasn't applied. I will give some more thought.
