How to
With your project open:
- Go to the Lazarus install directory -> components -> mouseandkeyinput.
- There you will find: lazmouseandkeyinput.lpk.
- Open and compile the .lpk.
In your unit.pas add in the Uses clause:
..., MouseAndKeyInput, LCLType;
To simulate press of F1 from a button:
procedure TForm1.HelpButtonClick(Sender: TObject);
begin
KeyInput.Apply([ssCtrl]);
KeyInput.Press(VK_F1); // This will simulate press of F1 function key.
KeyInput.Unapply([ssCtrl]);
end;
VK- definitions are found here: http://lazarus-ccr.sourceforge.net/docs/lcl/lcltype/index-2.html
Mouse control:
MouseInput.Click(mbLeft,[],300,300); // Left click on X:=300 , Y:=300
MouseInput.Click(mbRight,[],1365,2); // Right click on X:=1365 , Y:=2
