How to Set mouse cursor position to a specified point on screen in C#?
am i must hacke the motherboard buffer that receive the mouse and keyboard coordinates and pre
Get and set mouse position in Windows 10:
Much simpler in c# .NET Framework 4.0 using Cursor.Position Property
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.windows.forms.cursor.position?view=netcore-3.1
public static void ClickSomePoint()
{
// get mouse position
System.Drawing.Point screenPos = System.Windows.Forms.Cursor.Position;
// create X,Y point (0,0) explicitly with System.Drawing
System.Drawing.Point leftTop = new System.Drawing.Point(0,0);
// set mouse position
Cursor.Position = leftTop;
Console.WriteLine(screenPos);
}
The following will set the mouse position and perform a click:
public static void ClickSomePoint() {
// Set the cursor position
System.Windows.Forms.Cursor.Position = new Point(20, 35);
DoClickMouse(0x2); // Left mouse button down
DoClickMouse(0x4); // Left mouse button up
}
static void DoClickMouse(int mouseButton) {
var input = new INPUT() {
dwType = 0, // Mouse input
mi = new MOUSEINPUT() { dwFlags = mouseButton }
};
if (SendInput(1, input, Marshal.SizeOf(input)) == 0) {
throw new Exception();
}
}
[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)]
struct MOUSEINPUT {
int dx;
int dy;
int mouseData;
public int dwFlags;
int time;
IntPtr dwExtraInfo;
}
struct INPUT {
public uint dwType;
public MOUSEINPUT mi;
}
[DllImport("user32.dll", SetLastError=true)]
static extern uint SendInput(uint cInputs, INPUT input, int size);
Just keep in mind that this could be extremely annoying for a user.

If you want to click a button on your form you can use the 'PerformClick()' method.
