Mouse Operations Using Win32

I am writing a library for automation testing. There is hell lot of tools and libraries which is not solving all the purpose. Where you need to extend or create plug-in or pay for support. This Need leads to innovation. I started with MS UI automation library, that’s a good place to start. After used it for some time I thought there is no enough support for legacy win32 applications. And it is not supporting for the mouse operation. There are few places where the mouse operation is must, that lead to found mouse simulation using win32 API.  There are few other operations like mouse wheel move …. But I guess it not need for automation

Mouse Structure

 

[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)]

        public struct MouseInput

        {

            private int dx;

            private int dy;

            private int mouseData;

            private int dwFlags;

            private int time;

            private IntPtr dwExtraInfo;

 

            public MouseInput(int dwFlags, IntPtr dwExtraInfo)

            {

                this.dwFlags = dwFlags;

                this.dwExtraInfo = dwExtraInfo;

                dx = 0;

                dy = 0;

                time = 0;

                mouseData = 0;

            }

        }

 

Mouse Constants

Win32 Methods for mouse

        [DllImport("user32.dll")]

            Private MouseInput mi;

            {

                var input = new Input {type = INPUT_MOUSE, mi = mouseInput};

                return input;

            }

        }

            MouseOperation(MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTUP);

 

}

 

 

        private void SetCursorPosition(Point curPoint)

        {

            SetCursorPos(curPoint);

        }

  private void MouseOperation(int operation)

         SendInput(1, ref input, Marshal.SizeOf(typeof (Input)));
