Mouseclick outside from widget

[binio]

Hello,

i want set and click the cursor outside from my Application (e.k. a game in windowsmode or a word dokument).

I have tested

QCursor::setPos(10,10);

QCursor::setPos(10,10);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

to set my Mouseposition. Its work, the mousposition are outside on my widget and application(my application is only 1 px big).
but the click doesnt work

I have use/testing

#include <Windows.h>
...
mouse_event(MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTDOWN,0, 0, 0,0);
mouse_event(MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTUP, 0, 0, 0,0);

#include <Windows.h>
...
mouse_event(MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTDOWN,0, 0, 0,0);
mouse_event(MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTUP, 0, 0, 0,0);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

or

CONFIG += qtestlib

CONFIG += qtestlib

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

#include <QtTest/QTest>
...
QTestEventList *eventList=new QTestEventList();
eventList->addDelay(2000);
eventList->addMouseMove(QPoint(15,35));
eventList->addMouseClick(Qt::LeftButton,Qt::NoModifier,QPoint(15,35));
eventList->simulate(this);

#include <QtTest/QTest>
...
QTestEventList *eventList=new QTestEventList();
eventList->addDelay(2000);
eventList->addMouseMove(QPoint(15,35));
eventList->addMouseClick(Qt::LeftButton,Qt::NoModifier,QPoint(15,35));
eventList->simulate(this);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

but nothing work

Idont know what i can do.... can someone help me please ?

AFAIK there's no way Qt simulate window manager events (like mouse click) outside your own app.
You need to ask window manager to do it for you (calling SendInput on Windows or XSendEvent on X11.

I have think that

mouse_event(MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTDOWN,0, 0, 0,0);
mouse_event(MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTUP, 0, 0, 0,0);

mouse_event(MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTDOWN,0, 0, 0,0);
mouse_event(MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTUP, 0, 0, 0,0);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

is to say the Windows API what they must do maybe outside my application

Yeah, I missed it.

So, maybe you should try adding MOUSEEVENTF_ABSOLUTE flag?
