How do you simulate Mouse Click in C#?

Question

How do you simulate Mouse clicks in C# winforms applications?

Answer 1

I have tried the code that Marcos posted and it didn't worked for me. Whatever i was given to the Y coordinate the cursor didn't moved on Y axis. The code below will work if you want the position of the cursor relative to the left-up corner of your desktop, not relative to your application.

    [DllImport("user32.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Auto, CallingConvention = CallingConvention.StdCall)]
    public static extern void mouse_event(long dwFlags, long dx, long dy, long cButtons, long dwExtraInfo);
    private const int MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTDOWN = 0x02;
    private const int MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTUP = 0x04;
    private const int MOUSEEVENTF_MOVE = 0x0001;

    public void DoMouseClick()
    {
        X = Cursor.Position.X;
        Y = Cursor.Position.Y;

        //move to coordinates
        pt = (Point)pc.ConvertFromString(X + "," + Y);
        Cursor.Position = pt;       

        //perform click            
        mouse_event(MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTDOWN, 0, 0, 0, 0);
        mouse_event(MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTUP, 0, 0, 0, 0);
    }

I only use mouse_event function to actually perform the click. You can give X and Y what coordinates you want, i used values from textbox:

            X = Convert.ToInt32(tbX.Text);
            Y = Convert.ToInt32(tbY.Text);
