i want to make a program that has 2 buttons one winner and 1 looser.

when the winner button is pressed the program just keeps hitting f8 and keeps hittinga certain pixel box location. ( is that even possible to have it click an area of say 100 *100 ? i cud find the exact location if i get help from someone

the looser button when pressed would simply keeping moving the left arrow key so that if u press left it wud move the cursor over left and to hit the same location

lastly both buttons need to hit the same location as the pixel area i said but im guessing 20 rows up

how would i go about coding that?

you would start with a form with the button components on it... show us some code and ask specific questions, doing so will probably land you more detailed answers.

If this is a humurous "joke" program, I have to have a copy.
Well, there is an API (a special type of function that links into the guts of windows) called SetCursorPos that would work (google for a beginner's guide), which takes the x and y coordinates of the new screen location (relative to the top left). However, a presume you want a cool annoying gradual move to the spot rather than an instantaneous jump - you'll need to call it several times with a time delay, incrementing the x coordinate for example using a timer.

Clicking a pixel can be done in the same way, additionally use the mouse_event API (using click mode) however you can't click an entire rectangle at once.

Hope this helps
