Virtual Mouse

[CamRW]

Hello, I am extremely new to the Windows API and I don't know where to start.

How would I simulate a virtual mouse click (without the mouse actually moving on screen) and implement this into an application that doesn't have a window? I did check the MSDN, but it is all so confusing right now!

Thanks,
Cameron

Thank you, that helped a lot, but I'm still at loss as to how one could accomplish this without having the mouse actually move on screen. Something like a second invisible mouse.

Why you don’t want to move the mouse?

Anyway you can try something like that:

save mouse coordinates.
move the mouse to the point you want to perform the click.
perform the click.
move the mouse back to the saved coordinates on phase one.


I am pretty sure it will be so fast that the mouse will do all this trip but user wont notice :D
