Is there a way to simulate a mouse click?

Post by MordaBest »

I want to use the engine for some automation processes, but at some point I need to simulate a mouse click outside of the program window. I work on Windows and I really don't care if it will work on other platforms.

it's possible if you mess with the windows libs through ffi, but i don't have the exact knowledge what you'd need to load in (if anything) and what you'd need to define and call.

Me and my stuff :3True Neutral Aspirant. Why, yes, i do indeed enjoy sarcastically correcting others when they make the most blatant of spelling mistakes. No bullying or trolling the innocent tho.

Not what you asked for but depending on what you aim to do maybe an alternative - https://www.autoitscript.com/site/

Years ago I used it for a simple automation task, I can't even remember what it was, but I know it worked quite well and was easy to use. If you need the rest of Löve too it's of course of no help.
