#1487 Mouse bug with Tight VNC server

[Videogamer555]

I don't know what Windows API function you are using to emulate a mouse click, but it only works on EXEs running in normal mode. It isn't universally recognized by Windows as a mouse click. For example, I'm running an older program in XP compatibility mode, and that program isn't recognizing any clicks I make in it via VNC, using your VNC server.

By the way, while I don't know what API function you are using, the one you should be using is mouse_event. That simulates an actual mouse click. It should work no matter what kind of window you have your mouse over (normal Windows 10 window, or window of a program in XP compatibility mode).

Hello.
We use SendInput. Microsoft does not recomend use mouse_event.
Googling says mouse_event is a wrapper for SendInput now.

Strange. I know it works with mouse_event. That can simulate a mouse click
on anything.
