Nice find,
dmiranda .
Bear in mind that the program name is
ClickOff -- you might want to correct that in your post, especially the Subject field in order to make it easier to retrieve in the future...
Here's some further info about this utility:
ClickOff has been written out of a personal need -- like most programs here. Questions like "are your sure you want to exit the program?" made me go insane after having seen them a dozen of times. I found a program called "BuzOff " on a computer magazine CD-ROM which took care of this situation by simply clicking a button to close the window but it also displayed nag-screens which annoyed me as well. Being a programmer I just thought "you can do that yourself" and I started working on ClickOff . I started looking for functions that windows provided for clicking on buttons without actually moving the mouse and I was successful. Meanwhile ClickOff has been improved through bug reports and suggestions of new features that you sent me. ClickOff is supposed to be the swiss knife for window handling, not just a simple popup blocker.
ClickOff last version is v1.90 released 2012-12-29 (see spoiler for available changelog).

ClickOff v1.90 ZIP includes a '
Readme.txt ' file that consists of a mixed English/German partial changelog; I removed the German parts and edited it lightly for better readability:

#### ClickOff 1.90 ####Released: 29.12.12__________________________________| ©1999-2012 Johannes Hübner || http://www.johanneshuebner.com |¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯» Changes in version 1.90 - Language files are searched in the directory where clickoff.exe resides - TrayIcon is redrawn after explorer crash» Changes since version 1.88 - Logfile now contains the actual window text instead of the saved one» Changes since version 1.87 - You may specify a log file to record all of ClickOff's activity» Changes since version 1.86 - Improved detection of non-standard windows (GTK, Firefox etc.)» Changes since version 1.84 - Extended FAQ - Referencing documentation from about dialog» Changes since version 1.83 - Fixed crash on empty ClickOff-list» **Changes since version 1.82 - ClickOff can handle "unknown" buttons e.g. in Firefox - Fixed problem with wildcards» Change since 1.82Beta - Windows without buttons are closed again - "Act on window only once..." is no longer default when adding buttons - Dialog text can be re-detected using the hotkey» Changes since 1.772 - Easier adding of windows using a hotkey - Program directory searched for configuration files - New ClickOff method "Enter text" * - Buttons in in nested dialogs are now handled as well - Tray menu is discarded after clicking outside and icon is no longer distorted• The new ClickOff method "Enter text" can be obviously be used for entering passwords. I discourage you to do this, because no encryption is applied when saving the text into the configuration file!» Changes since version 1.75 Beta5 - Small fix in translation - ClickOff clicks off again » Changes since version 1.75 Beta4 - Program lockup hopefully fixed» Changes since version 1.75 Beta3 - Problems with trailing wildcards solved - Removed DDE-components (they causes problems) - Configuration is saved in "Application Data" now, either for all users or on per user basis - Configuration is saved upon shutting down Windows» Changes since version 1.75 Beta2 - Resolved problem with translation of window titles - New wildcard algorithm - When there were 2 windows with same titles but different properties besides that only the first one was handled» Changes since version 1.63 - The currently open windows are only matched against the ClickOff list if there has been an actual change going on (new window appeared, new window has come to foreground etc.). This results in lower CPU-usage. - New format of language files (see english.lng). It allows easy translation of ClickOff into your own language - Settings dialog has been added - Hotkey for adding the foreground window to the ClickOff list can be defined - Windows can optionally be only handled once when they appear (eg. be minimized) and then be left alone - A timeout before or after ClickOff triggers an action can be defined. This for example allows to set ClickOff to click a button 30 seconds after it appeared to leave time to the user to choose manually - You can sort the list following different criterias (try right clicking on the list!) - List can be imported and exported - I have developed many routines from scratch again - Documentation is now available in pdf-format and created from an easier to maintain LaTex document - Multiple entries with same window title but different button-text are now processed - The specific control number of a button is used for detection ->better performance of window scannerStatistics: Posted by Midas — Fri Oct 25, 2024 6:45 am
