I am trying to find a way to do mouse actions in java.

Can someone pls tell me how to move the mouse to a particular point on the screen using c++.I found a class named "Robot" of the awt package in java that serves my purpose..but the problem is that my project is in c++ and so i need a way to do the same job in c++.

Can someone tell me some classes, functions, etc. that would allow me to move and click the mouse.

P.S. I am not looking for detecting mouse events...

What is this? you are trying to move the cursor using C++ code in Java application?

WHY?

Only Idea I can come up with is to trigger the Java Application and let that one do the cursor move: Google on "Java moving cursor"[^]

that did the same function as Robot class in java

Hi, You can use SetCursorPos function for positioning mouse.
and mouse_event function can be used for mouse event.

Yes, SetCurPos and mouse_event function are win32 api.
and we can also use those apis in console app.
So we can make mouse click in console app,programatically.
Thanks.

And for those apis, you can reference MSDN or some forums.
