[2005] Controlling Users Mouse and Keyboard

[noahssite]

Hello, i want to know how to make a program that once a button is clicked a a form is filled out the program will control the users mouse and keyboard. An auto-type / auto-clicker. This is not for game or used to hack i want to know this because of a new project im making. Say when the user is not home or at his computer he can set the certain settings and it will do some of the tasks or help out a little.

Please help and remember im NOT using this for HACKING

If you could give specific examples of what you want to do; you'll find that simulating mouse and keyboard strokes is almost always NOT the best way to do it (you h4x0r you!)

Anyway, if you seriously could give us more info, we could probably help you more.

If you need just to set focus and send keys to an application, blindly; you can use VBScript to do it.

If you want to automate web surfing; use .Net and use a webBrowser control.

If you want to automate other programs that need mouse and keyboard; your best bet is Win32API calls. You can even read colors from the screen to find buttons and what-not.
