Not clear what do you mean "send mouse click"? Simulate it, as Prerak assumed, or what?

If this is simulation of mouse input, you need to use P/Invoke and raw Windows API SendInput, see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms646310%28v=vs.85%29.aspx[^], http://pinvoke.net/default.aspx/user32.sendinput[^].

The function mouse_event was superseded by SendInput, so better use SendInput (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms646260%28v=vs.85%29.aspx[^]).

This function is low-level, it works like an input triggered by hardware (in fact, from what I know, real hardware event triggers one these functions).

Is there any way to do without using api? ie. by using vb.net built in functions.

I don't think so. You can only simulate keyboard input with System.Windows.Forms.SendKeys, with very limited functionality.

I voted 4. This answer is about mouse_event, but this function was superseded by SendInput.

I also provided a link with P/Invoke code, please see my solution.
