How to control SendInput mouse events?

Hi there!

As you surely know the SendInput has superseded mouse_ event so you are forced,
at least according to Microsoft, to use SendInput instead. However, the use of it is
not as simple as one would expect and besides, there is a lot of false information all
over the internet and I have not been able to find working examples.

So the question is. Could somebody please point out a web-page with working code,
or perhaps provide working code here, and just perhaps to move the cursor to a new
location, that would be enough to get me on track again.

Thenk you in advance.

Hi Norie!

This is an Excel VBA forum, isn't it?
So, this is a real VBA (Excel) question!

Hi Norie!

I try to explain what I'm trying to do:

I have now:

And as I earlier stated, SendInput has (or will) override mouse_event and so...
I try to replace all those routines with SendInput. so, not at all complicated, or is it?

Hi again!

Doesn't compile in your PC?
Maybe you miss:

If not that then I don't know why it doesn't compile.
On the other hand the names of the routines are also quite self describing...
Here I try to describe
singleClick - nothing to explain
doubleClick - "
rightClick - mouse right button
getMouse - getCursor would perhaps be a better name
getMpos - does the same as the previous and writes the coordinates in current cell (x) and in the next right cell (y)
mouseMove - moves the cursor to the specific x,y position

Hello Norie!

You seem to be very pedantic

Hi Norie!

Take a look at post #5 there, as far as I understand, is that explained,
anyway I believe so....

Norie,

Why haven't you replied? Too much comments, or what?

Hi there!

I managed to do a single click with SendInput. Unfortunately I can't remember where I found it,
but here is the modified, working single click:

However, this is the only thing I can get to work.
So, could somebody please share a little bit of light over this matter and help telling how to
move the cursor/mouse to a specific place on the screen, let's say between 0 and max resolution.
Maybe also the right click and so on.

Thank you for your help in advance.

Hi there again

Of course I lied a little bit when I said the single click is the only thing I got to work,
a double click is of course just calling the cliciIt twice with a perhaps little delay between
the clicks...

Can't anybody or doesn't anybody know how to move the cursor with SendInput?
Please help if you can!
