Class Robot

GoDiagram®
v10.0.12
by Northwoods Software®

A class for simulating mouse and keyboard input.

Inheritance
Robot
Namespace: Northwoods.Go.Extensions
Assembly: RobotAvalonia.dll
Syntax
public class Robot
Remarks

As a special hack, this supports limited simulation of drag-and-drop between Diagrams, by setting the SourceDiagram and TargetDiagram properties on the "eventprops" arguments of the MouseDown/MouseMove/MouseUp methods. Although TargetDiagram is a real property, the SourceDiagram property is only used by these Robot methods.

Constructors

Robot(Diagram)
