How to move the mouse cursor in Windows programmatically?

Question

Mouse

I would like an analogue of the Linux / dev / uinput - something like a custom mouse driver controlled from the application.
Required functionality - moving the cursor, pressing "buttons" on request from the application.
Move around the entire screen, not just in the application window area.
What are the possibilities here?
Preferably with C++ interface.

Answer 1

cursor movement: SetCursorPos .
pressing the buttons - you need to look for the window under the cursor and send SendMessage to it.
