My advice is to not send mouse clicks but to use keyboard navigation/hotkeys or to send window messages with the ID of the target control to activate it.

I am not sure what you mean by this? We (my fellow users who are affected by this) have not been able to find any kind of keyboard sequence that would have the effect of clicking upon this button. If we had found such a thing, then I could push a keyboard button to send a keyboard macro. Pushing a single keyboard button would be less terrible than it is now (move hand to mouse, move cursor to "reset", click it, move cursor back to original window, click, put hand back on keyboard). I suspect that you are telling me something about the GUI_Test UI that I don't understand. send window messages with the ID of the target control to activate it sounds like what I need to do.
