How to move mouse cursor using C#?


I want to simulate mouse movement every x seconds. For that, I'll use a timer (x seconds) and when the timer ticks I'll make the mouse movement.

But, how can I make the mouse cursor move using C#?


Solution

  • Take a look at the Cursor.Position Property. It should get you started.

    private void MoveCursor()
    {
       // Set the Current cursor, move the cursor's Position,
       // and set its clipping rectangle to the form. 
    
       this.Cursor = new Cursor(Cursor.Current.Handle);
       Cursor.Position = new Point(Cursor.Position.X - 50, Cursor.Position.Y - 50);
       Cursor.Clip = new Rectangle(this.Location, this.Size);
    }
