How can I move the cursor with c#?

[shockna1]

Im trying to make a program so that when I hold down shift or something and press an arow key it moves the cursor. Is it posible to move the cursor using c#?

[tlhintoq]

Yes it is.
Look on MSDN for Cursor and change the Cursor.Location property

Ok so this worked but I have 3 new questions naw. First haw can I click.?Second it only works on the form but not outside it the how do I make it work outside the form? And third how can I get location on the hole screen?

First haw can I click.?

With the mouse. What is this question supposed to even be asking?

Second it only works on the form but not outside it the how do I make it work outside the form?

"Global Hooks" is a much more advanced subject - but I've just told you what to research.

And third how can I get location on the hole screen?

Again, do a little research on MSDN. You can easily take a location and convert it To Screen Location. <hint>

Sory I was not cleer on what I ment by how can I click. What I ment was haw can I simulate a mouse click with c#.

There's a couple quick library functions you can import,eg :

       [DllImport("user32.dll", SetLastError = true)]
        [return: MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.Bool)]
        public static extern bool SetCursorPos(int X, int Y);
        [DllImport("user32.dll")]
        static extern bool GetCursorPos(ref Point lpPoint);
        [DllImport("user32.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Auto, CallingConvention = CallingConvention.StdCall)]
        public static extern void mouse_event(long dwFlags, long dx, long dy, long cButtons, long dwExtraInfo);

        /// <summary>
        /// Not sure if we're just supposed to create our own point class.
        /// </summary>
        struct Point
        {
            public int x;
            public int y;
        }


        private const int MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTDOWN = 0x02;
        private const int MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTUP = 0x04;
        private const int MOUSEEVENTF_RIGHTDOWN = 0x08;
        private const int MOUSEEVENTF_RIGHTUP = 0x10;
        
        
        public static void DoMouseClick(long x, long y)
        {   
            mouse_event(MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTDOWN | MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTUP, x, y, 0, 0);
        }
    

        public static void MoveMouse(int x, int y)
        {
            SetCursorPos(x, y);
        }

Should be relatively self-explanatory as to how to use these functions. These allow clicking outside of your immediate application.

Thanks this is exactly what I was looking for.
