C# app that simulates mouse click

Question

Does anyone knows how to perform a mouse click on a specific point of the desktop? I need a application to perform mouse click on another's application button localized in a specific place on desktop.

You are in Windows Forms or WPF or Universal Apps? – Seth Kitchen Sep 17 '15 at 13:56 — Seth Kitchen, Sep 17 '15 at 13:56

This works in WinForms

[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);
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 void DoMouseClick()   {
     //Call the imported function with the cursor's current position
     int X = Cursor.Position.X;
     int Y = Cursor.Position.Y;
     mouse_event(MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTDOWN | MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTUP, X, Y, 0, 0);

}

You may look into Coded UI. It's main purpose is for performing UI tests on applications and supports programmatic access to a variety of different application frameworks (WPF, WinForms, VB, etc).
