Automating inside a full-screen application

There's this full-screen application I want write a script for so that it will perform some automated functions for me. Specifically, click at a specific coordinate and hit certain keystrokes. Would C++ do the job? Better yet, what code would make the mouse left-click once at coordinate (x,y) and what code would make it possible for sending an f1, f2, f8 "keystroke" through? I have tried to use another language, autoit, to do this but to no avail. I guess it is because autoit only works with standard Microsoft controls. Is there a way in C++ to make it seem like the user is actually pressing let's say the f8 key and clicking the mouse?
