## Example

The following code snippet invokes ctrx_get_window_name to retrieve the name of the window currently in focus, and verifies, using strcmp(), that it is the required window. It then executes a mouse click within the window.

    char window_name[100];
    long xpos, ypos, width, height;

    ctrx_mouse_double_click(41, 266, LEFT_BUTTON, 0, NULL, CTRX_LAST);
    ctrx_get_window_name(window_name, CTRX_LAST);

    if (!strcmp(window_name, "Welcome to MSN.com - Microsoft Internet Explorer"))
    {
         ctrx_get_window_position(window_name, &xpos, &ypos, &width, &height, CTRX_LAST);
         ctrx_mouse_click(xpos + 35, ypos +128, LEFT_BUTTON, 0, window_name, CTRX_LAST);
    }
