Simulate Mouse Move

Expand Post »

Hi,
I'm using windows XP and trying to simulate mouse movement and mouse clicks. The following code supposed to move mouse to absolute position (100,100) and perform a click:

//test.cpp file:

C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
#include "stdafx.h"
 
int main(int argc, char* argv[]){
	INPUT *buffer = new INPUT[3]; //allocate a buffer
	buffer->type = INPUT_MOUSE;
	buffer->mi.dx = 100;
	buffer->mi.dy = 100;
	buffer->mi.mouseData = 0;
	buffer->mi.dwFlags = (MOUSEEVENTF_ABSOLUTE | MOUSEEVENTF_MOVE);
	buffer->mi.time = 0;
	buffer->mi.dwExtraInfo = 0;
 
	(buffer+1)->type = INPUT_MOUSE;
	(buffer+1)->mi.dx = 100;
	(buffer+1)->mi.dy = 100;
	(buffer+1)->mi.mouseData = 0;
	(buffer+1)->mi.dwFlags = MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTDOWN;
	(buffer+1)->mi.time = 0;
	(buffer+1)->mi.dwExtraInfo = 0;
 
	(buffer+2)->type = INPUT_MOUSE;
	(buffer+2)->mi.dx = 100;
	(buffer+2)->mi.dy = 100;
	(buffer+2)->mi.mouseData = 0;
	(buffer+2)->mi.dwFlags = MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTUP;
	(buffer+2)->mi.time = 0;
	(buffer+2)->mi.dwExtraInfo = 0;
 
 
	SendInput(3,buffer,sizeof(INPUT));
	delete (buffer); //clean up our messes.
	return 0;
}
#include "stdafx.h"

int main(int argc, char* argv[]){
	INPUT *buffer = new INPUT[3]; //allocate a buffer
	buffer->type = INPUT_MOUSE;
	buffer->mi.dx = 100;
	buffer->mi.dy = 100;
	buffer->mi.mouseData = 0;
	buffer->mi.dwFlags = (MOUSEEVENTF_ABSOLUTE | MOUSEEVENTF_MOVE);
	buffer->mi.time = 0;
	buffer->mi.dwExtraInfo = 0;

	(buffer+1)->type = INPUT_MOUSE;
	(buffer+1)->mi.dx = 100;
	(buffer+1)->mi.dy = 100;
	(buffer+1)->mi.mouseData = 0;
	(buffer+1)->mi.dwFlags = MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTDOWN;
	(buffer+1)->mi.time = 0;
	(buffer+1)->mi.dwExtraInfo = 0;

	(buffer+2)->type = INPUT_MOUSE;
	(buffer+2)->mi.dx = 100;
	(buffer+2)->mi.dy = 100;
	(buffer+2)->mi.mouseData = 0;
	(buffer+2)->mi.dwFlags = MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTUP;
	(buffer+2)->mi.time = 0;
	(buffer+2)->mi.dwExtraInfo = 0;


	SendInput(3,buffer,sizeof(INPUT));
	delete (buffer); //clean up our messes.
	return 0;
}

when "stdafx.h" is:

C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
#pragma once
#define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN		// Exclude rarely-used stuff from Windows headers
#define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0500                 // so the code would compile
#include <windows.h>
#pragma once
#define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN		// Exclude rarely-used stuff from Windows headers
#define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0500                 // so the code would compile
#include <windows.h>

The problem is that the mouse moves to position (0,0) and performs a click. I've been unable so far to simulate mouse movement to any absolute coordinate (x,y) specified in mi.dx and mi.dy respectively.
If someone knows a way to force mouse to move to absolute position (x,y) please tell me...

Re: Simulate Mouse Move

Good point! Perhaps no user in the world can move a mouse that fast under normal conditions—but hey, it could happen! And in the old days of Windows 3.1, it may have been more likely. This is why Windows does, in fact, provide a way to get the mouse coordinates at the time any given message was sent.
Normally, a message arrives at your app when Windows calls your app's window proc. This callback function receives the HWND, message ID, WPARAM, and LPARAM. But actually, it's a little more complicated than that. Your app doesn't just get messages like a thunderbolt from the blue; it must fetch them by calling ::GetMessage. That's why 16-bit Windows (Windows 3.1) is called a cooperative, nonpreemptive multitasking operating system. In those days this held true globally; nowadays we know 32-bit versions of Windows are true (preemptive) multitasking systems. Nevertheless, within a process or thread, you still must call ::GetMessage and :

ispatchMessage to process messages in an orderly, synchronized fashion. Most every process or User Interface thread contains a central Get/Dispatch loop. This loop is called the message pump.
GetMessage retrieves the next message in the queue by filling a special MSG structure.

C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
 struct MSG {
    HWND        hwnd;
    UINT        message;
    WPARAM      wParam;
    LPARAM      lParam;
    DWORD       time;
    POINT       pt;
 };
 struct MSG {
    HWND        hwnd;
    UINT        message;
    WPARAM      wParam;
    LPARAM      lParam;
    DWORD       time;
    POINT       pt;
 };

The first four members are the familiar window proc arguments; MSG.time is (what else?) the time the message was sent, and MSG.pt holds the mouse position in screen coordinates when the message was sent.
MSG.pt is just what you want. The only problem is, how do you get it? When an app (MFC or otherwise) calls :

ispatchMessage to dispatch the message, Windows calls the appropriate window proc with hwnd, message, wParam, and lParam. The time and pt get lost in the shuffle. In a C app, you could make the MSG a global, so your window proc and message handler functions could access it. But with MFC, the message pump is buried in the framework, in CWinThread:

umpMessage. So how can you get the rest of the information in the MSG?
Fortunately, CWinThread retrieves the MSG into a CWinThread data member, m_curMsg. You can get the MSG from this public member, but before you go racing to the keyboard, there's an easier way: just call ::GetMessagePos. (There's also ::GetMessageTime to get the time.) GetMessagePos returns the position of the cursor when the last message was retrieved using GetMessage.
Just remember: not all messages are queued. When you or someone else calls SendMessage to send a message to a window, Windows calls the window's window proc directly—without queueing the message. Only truly external events such as user input (mouse or keyboard), hardware interrupts, and messages sent with :

ostMessage are queued. This is generally not a problem, since you are usually not interested in knowing the mouse position or time when some part of your app called SendMessage. (What meaning could it have?) Rather, you're usually interested in the mouse position or time when some real event occurred such as a mouse click or keystroke.
MFC itself uses GetMessageTime and GetMessagePos to implement a function you can use to get the current MSG: CWnd::GetCurrentMessage.

C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
 const MSG* PASCAL CWnd::GetCurrentMessage()
 {
     // fill in time and position when asked for
     _AFX_THREAD_STATE* pThreadState = 
         _afxThreadState.GetData();
     pThreadState->m_lastSentMsg.time = 
         ::GetMessageTime();
     pThreadState->m_lastSentMsg.pt = 
         CPoint(::GetMessagePos());
     return &pThreadState->m_lastSentMsg;
 }
 const MSG* PASCAL CWnd::GetCurrentMessage()
 {
     // fill in time and position when asked for
     _AFX_THREAD_STATE* pThreadState = 
         _afxThreadState.GetData();
     pThreadState->m_lastSentMsg.time = 
         ::GetMessageTime();
     pThreadState->m_lastSentMsg.pt = 
         CPoint(::GetMessagePos());
     return &pThreadState->m_lastSentMsg;
 }

All messages sent—and now I mean sent, not queued—to your window go through AfxCallWndProc (see the previous question). This function remembers the current message in the thread state, in a m_lastSentMsg member.

C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
 LRESULT AFXAPI AfxCallWndProc(CWnd* pWnd, 
     HWND hWnd, UINT nMsg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
 {
   _AFX_THREAD_STATE* pThreadState =  
   _afxThreadState.GetData();
   MSG oldState = pThreadState->m_lastSentMsg;   
   // save for nesting
   pThreadState->m_lastSentMsg.hwnd = hWnd;
   pThreadState->m_lastSentMsg.message = nMsg;
   pThreadState->m_lastSentMsg.wParam = wParam;
   pThreadState->m_lastSentMsg.lParam = lParam;
     .
     .
     .
   // process message
   pThreadState->m_lastSentMsg = oldState;
   return lResult;
 }
 LRESULT AFXAPI AfxCallWndProc(CWnd* pWnd, 
     HWND hWnd, UINT nMsg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
 {
   _AFX_THREAD_STATE* pThreadState =  
   _afxThreadState.GetData();
   MSG oldState = pThreadState->m_lastSentMsg;   
   // save for nesting
   pThreadState->m_lastSentMsg.hwnd = hWnd;
   pThreadState->m_lastSentMsg.message = nMsg;
   pThreadState->m_lastSentMsg.wParam = wParam;
   pThreadState->m_lastSentMsg.lParam = lParam;
     .
     .
     .
   // process message
   pThreadState->m_lastSentMsg = oldState;
   return lResult;
 }

GetCurrentMessage simply returns a pointer to m_lastSentMsg (const, so you can't munge it!) after updating the time and pt fields with GetMessageTime and GetMessagePos. AfxCallWndProc doesn't bother to do this because it's a waste of CPU cycles. Very rarely do you care what the message time and cursor position are, so why copy those extra bytes for every message sent? If you need these values, you can call GetCurrentMessage. But once again you have to be careful. GetCurrentMessage returns the current message—whether queued or sent; if for some reason you want to know what the currently queued message was, you have to look in CWinThread::m_curMsg. In either case, the time and pt fields will be the same, since GetMessageTime and GetMessagePos return their respective values for the last message retrieved with GetMessage—that is, the last queued message.
If all that seems confusing, it is. The short answer is: call ::GetMessagePos or CWnd::GetMessage, whichever tickles your fancy. Ta-ta!

Re: Simulate Mouse Move

to meabed:
Hi, I appreciate very much your thorough explanation, but what I need is not getting mouse pointer coordinates, rather setting them. I want to move using my program mouse pointer so specified absolute (x,y) coordinates on the screen and perform a mouse click... The problem is that I can't get mouse to move to (x,y) coordinates, only to (0,0), regardless of what I specifiy in mi.dx, mi.dy.

Re: Simulate Mouse Move

You can use SetCursorPos(X,Y) to move the mouse.
I've done it for you:

C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
#include "stdafx.h"
 
int main(int argc, char* argv[]){
	INPUT *buffer = new INPUT[3]; //allocate a buffer
int X;
int Y;
