mouse_automation

A winapi wrapper that provides easy mouse automation. Can be used from a variety of languages.

Installation

Rust

Add this to the toml file:

[dependencies]

mouse_automation = "0.1.0"

In your project, import the crate like this:

extern crate mouse_automation

Other

The dll needs to be in your project's directory.

Python example:

import ctypes
mouse_automation = ctypes.CDLL('mouse_automation')
mouse_automation.move_mouse(0, 0, 1) # moves mouse to top left corner

Functionality

Moving the mouse

mouse_automation.move_mouse(mut x: i32, mut y: i32, abs: bool);

First 2 parameters should be values specifying the amount of movement that needs to occur. If the third parameter is specified to be true the mouse will move to an absolute position.

Simulating a click

mouse_automation.left_down();  
mouse_automation.left_up();

mouse_automation.right_down();  
mouse_automation.right_up();

mouse_automation.middle_down();  
mouse_automation.middle_up();

Two commands are needed to simulate a click, the first sends a down event, and the second an up event.

Wheel scrolling

mouse_automation.wheel(movement: u32);

The sign of the parameter indicates the direction of the scrolling.
