Any way to "force" a mouse click?

How to force a mouse click? 
... have you tried applying the cane? :)

More generally, you could (as covered elsewhere on this list) of course check their response (or keep polling a slide until you find a response). Anyway, the combination of subject and question get me confused - perhaps you could give a more detailed explanation? How have you structured this? What does the inline do? Is there some spiderweb of goto statements involved?
Best,
Mich

Subject: Any way to "force" a mouse click?

Dear Community,

I wonder if anyone can help me: I have a set of 3 slides and subjects
need to click on an image on each of those slides. Depending on the
task from the stimulus, they have the option of doing clicks on just
the first 2 slides and then moving on with the space-key OR doing
clicks on all three slides. So, in the Duration/Input tab of the 2nd
slide, I set the Mouse & Keyboard as Input Masks.

For my practice-list, I'd like to provide the subjects with feedback:
The inline gathers the accuracy of the response and if it was
inaccurate, E-Prime goes to a negative-feedback slide and the subjects
can try again. My problem is that if the stimulus requires them to do
three clicks, I can't figure out how to "force" them to do a third
click because even if they press SPACE on the second slide to move on,
they E-Prime goes straight to the positive feedback slide.

I'd be grateful for any insights and would be glad to upload my file
for you to see.

Suli
