MouseSimulator
MouseSimulator uses SendInput to synthesize mouse motions and button clicks.
Use this component
If you have not already added it to your project, install the package from NuGet:
Install-Package NetEx.Hooks
Use the methods on MouseSimulator, such as MouseClick or MouseMove, to simulate mouse events.
Example
The following example uses the Windows Forms Button control's Click event handler to move the mouse by generating MouseMove events.
using NetEx.Hooks;
using System;
using System.Threading;
using System.Windows.Forms;
public class MouseSimulatorForm : Form
{
[STAThread]
public static void Main()
{
Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
Application.EnableVisualStyles();
Application.Run(new MouseSimulatorForm());
}
private Button selectButton;
public MouseSimulatorForm()
{
selectButton = new Button
{
Size = new Size(100, 20),
Location = new Point(15, 15),
Text = "Simulate mouse"
};
selectButton.Click += new EventHandler(SelectButton_Click);
ClientSize = new Size(330, 360);
Controls.Add(selectButton);
}
private void SelectButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
var y = SystemInformation.PrimaryMonitorSize.Height / 2;
for (var x = 0; x < 200; x++)
{
MouseSimulator.MouseMove(new(x, y));
Thread.Sleep(1);
}
}
}
