I have to have my application click on the buttons of another application, and currently I'm using the following method:

PostMessage(button-HDC, WM_LBUTTONDOWN, 0, 0);
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(150);
PostMessage(button-HDC, WM_LBUTTONUP, 0, 0);

This works just fine, except that, occasionally, the other application (not my application, the application whose buttons are being pressed) locks up and crashes after my application pushes one of its buttons.

So I was trying to find another way to do this, perhaps by posting a different sort of message, using mouse events, or perhaps something like

simulate-mouse-click(position-x, position-y);

I'm not quite sure how to do this, however. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

That looks like C# code. As a matter of fact, isn't this a cross post???? If you feel you chose the wrong forum, you should ask a mod to move it appropriately.

Sorry about that--yes this is a cross post, and yes I'm actually programming in C#. It's just that apparently no one can help me with this in the C# forum, so I thought I'd post it here, since like 10 times as many people come to the C++ forum than the C# forum.

If someone can help someone else with a C# problem, they'll go to the C# forum. It's a law of Nature. Now stop meddling with Nature and leave it be!
