Does anyone have any solutiions or ideas on how to use a program similar to AHk to click on the clipboard button on Tos to allow input of data on the keyboard to be input as an order. . It seems that when tos initially fires up the clipboard button is visible and can be clicked on to dump the clipboard content to activate an order. however after Tos has been used for awhile, the next time you try to access it the button may be hidden. When its missing is usually due to a change in one of the buttons on the left side.. Fore example the up down arrow may need to be clicked to show other choices.. and the one that is needed frequently is the "order and strategy book" and many other choices. Most times twiddling with the buttons on the left side in random order i can make the clipboard button re appear. But there seems be no repetetive set pattern of button clicks that can be made to make the clipboard button show... I have even tried making images of the buttons to find them even though they may be at different levels due to how many entries is below them..If anyone has ideas on how this may be done, please help me out. Too bad there is not a reset command that would place the button back to a condition that would show the clipboard button..I know of other folks would like to see the solution as they cannot come up with a working solution either..I do not care how man y buttons need to be pressed to make it work as can program as many clicks as it takes.. but it needs to be a set pattern so that the puter can

do it. ihave even made a pix of the clipboard button and search for the button image after each clikc but so far nothing has worked..

The only somewhat reliable AHK script I have to trade use ActiveTrader window. Are you switching between products (different stocks or futures)?

This looks for the red square-ish whatevertheheckitis icon. When it finds it, it clicks under it on the clipboard icon.

This is the red icon we're looking for. Its positioned right above the clipboard icon of the order entry.

1. You need to define a box to search for the red squareish icon. Please note that if you click on that red box it changes color to white. You need to make sure it is red. You can always use AHK's WindowSpy program to find the x and y positions and colors of items on the screen.

2. You might need to play with the offset used to determine where the clipboard icon is relative to the red squareish icon.

3. More on PixelSearch: https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/v2/lib/PixelSearch.htm


Code:
#Requires AutoHotkey v2.0

CoordMode("Pixel", "Screen")
CoordMode("Mouse", "Screen")

is_icon_top_x := 1500            ; top left x positon where to look for the red icon
is_icon_top_y := 880            ; top left y positon where to look for the red icon
is_icon_bot_x := 1560            ; bottom right x positon where to look for the red icon
is_icon_bot_y := 920            ; bottom right y positon where to look for the red icon

icon_red_color := 0x3A2020        ; a color to find for the red icon

clip_offset_x := 10                ; the x offset of the clipboard button to the red icon
clip_offset_y := 50                ; the y offset of the clipboard button to the red icon


find_icon := PixelSearch(&icon_top_x, &icon_top_y, is_icon_top_x, is_icon_top_y, is_icon_bot_x, is_icon_bot_y, icon_red_color)

if (find_icon)
    {
;    msgbox("Found icon at: " . icon_top_x ", " . icon_top_y)          ; uncomment to help with debugging
    MouseClick "left", icon_top_x + clip_offset_x, icon_top_y + clip_offset_y
    }
else
    {
    msgbox("Not found")
    }
