WoW window control

[Boogieman]

Hi I dualbox wow on a single machine 1 mouse 1 keyboard 2 monitors i use hotkeynet for broadcasting and window positioning and resizing
I prefer to open npc dialog with the mouse instead of broadcasting
However it takes 1 click on the window to give it focus and another to open the dialog or whatever action i am performing
this becomes tedious when switching between windows frequently
I was wondering is there a way for mouseover to give the window focus

On a side note i just came from dualboxing eve online with the same setup that i use from wow and this double click to execute commands was not a problem there

by that i mean if you have focus on eve1 and you move the mouse to window eve2 and click a button it executed that function it didn't need to have the window clicked to give it focus

If anyone has an idea to help with this in respect to wow i would be very appreciative

TY in advance

I was wondering is there a way for mouseover to give the window focus.

Yes this feature is built into Windows. Microsoft calls it "active window tracking." But it's turned off by default. You can turn it on with HotkeyNet's SetActiveWindowTracking command.

If you're on Vista, make sure you also use SetActiveWindowTrackingDelay, otherwise the feature will work slowly instead of instantly. For some reason Microsoft slowed down the default setting on Vista.

<SetActiveWindowTracking on>

That will make whatever the mouse is over the active window. Just put it somewhere in your script. The effect will last until you reboot the machine, unless you specifically turn it off.

Hope that helps

Damn your fast Freddie

It's a great feature. I don't know why Microsoft hides it and makes it so hard to turn on. Even though it's part of the OS, you need a third party program to turn it on.

(Maybe Microsoft put a switch for it in Win 7, I don't know, but this is how it is in XP and Vista.)
