How to force a key press/mouse click event?

Hi there,

Does anybody know how to throw key press and mouse click events
programmatically without actuaaly pressing a key or clicking the mouse?

I am working on a c# application on CF 2.0 for WinCE 5.0 devices.

Thanks,
Krupa

Are you trying to click something and simulate a keypress in your own
app, or in another one?

I am trying to synthesize a mouse click event. The exact scenario is
that I need to click on the screen to bring my Flash UI to focus and I
don't want to do that manually. I want to write code that forces a
mouse click event.

BTW, this is in a C# application on CF 2.0 for a WinCE 5.0 device.

Not sure if this will help, but this is how I performed the action in VB.NET

Dim'd up the following:

Private Declare Sub mouse_event Lib "coredll.dll" (ByVal dwFlags As Long,
ByVal dx As Long, ByVal dy As Long, ByVal dwData As Long, ByVal dwExtraInfo
As Long)

Private Const MOUSEEVENTF_ABSOLUTE = &H8000& ' absolute move
Private Const MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTDOWN = &H2 ' left button down
Private Const MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTUP = &H4 ' left button up
Private Const MOUSEEVENTF_MIDDLEDOWN = &H20 ' middle button down
Private Const MOUSEEVENTF_MIDDLEUP = &H40 ' middle button up
Private Const MOUSEEVENTF_MOVE = &H1 ' mouse move
Private Const MOUSEEVENTF_RIGHTDOWN = &H8 ' right button down
Private Const MOUSEEVENTF_RIGHTUP = &H10 ' right button up
Private Const MOUSEEVENTF_WHEEL = &H800 ' wheel button rolled

Then called the following function to simulate the mouse event:

mouse_event(MOUSEEVENTF_MOVE, 50, 50, 0, 0)

The above simulated a mouse move event, but I would assume that you can use
the MOUSEEVENTFLEFTDOWN/UP to simulate the proper event.
