Hello all,

I am doing a project in linux.I want to move and fire the mouse events programtically on the desktop. For example , let mouse be on the position 100,100. I want to move the mouse to x,y position using my 'C' code and fire a mouse click there. Is there any interrupt in 'C' or low level OS interrupt.

bye ...

There is a function in C called the 'system' function. The general syntax is as follows:

ok=system("shell_commands_here");

The system function passes whats in the quoatation marks directly to the shell. If you can figure out how to do this task from a shell prompt then you can do it through your C code.

Check out the source code for xev, which tracks (and reports) X
events, including mouse movement and clicks as well as keyboard
events. If you can report it, you can probably send it. . .
