About this task

The ActionSet Click action simulates a manual click at the area you specify in the ActionSet Settings window. You can use it to click a button, open a menu, select an object, or perform any action typically performed by a mouse click.

You can configure the properties for the Click action. For more information about these properties, see ActionSet Click properties.

Procedure

1. Right-click the anchor.
   For more information about an anchor, see Anchor.
2. Click Click.
3. Drag and place the green plus icon () to the location where you want to simulate a click.
4. Optional: In the Properties pane of the ActionSet Settings window, configure the properties of the Click action.
   For example, you can set a delay or change the name of the action.
5. Close the ACTIONSET SETTINGS window.
6. Optional: Connect the port to let its input determine whether the Click action is performed, if you exposed the Click parameter’s port in Step 4.

   The Click parameter is described in the following table.

   Port type	Port name	Data type	Purpose of connection	Notes
   Data In	Click	Boolean	Determines whether the click action is performed. If the value of the Click parameter is True, the action is performed. If the value is False, the action is not performed.	The Data In port is available if you enable the Expose Port check box in the Properties section. The default Boolean value is True.
