Can VB simulate/emulate a mouse pick? 1

[Hofferer]

Hey all. Curious to know if VB can simulate/emulate a mouse pick before I get to know the language any further. Working on a little program at work that could help save some man hours, hopefully, and was wondering if VB would be a good tool or not. ANy help is appreciated.

yes - an actual mouse event just calls a VB procedure which can also be called from within the VB program - so it looks to the VB program just like a real mouse event.<br>
<br>
Hmm - do you mean &quot;simulate a mouse event in another program&quot;?<br>

Do you mean does VB know if you clicked either mouse button.<br>
The answer is yes. There are several Mouse events. <br>
Or you can get them from and API (Application Programmers Interface) call.<br>
I use VB and Access for everything I mean everything<br>
It hasn’t let me down yet.<br>
<br>
If you buy VB6 get the &quot;Professional&quot; Version.<br>
Enterprise Edition is more for large applications with lots of programmers working on the same project.<br>
&quot;Pro&quot; has lots of wizards and so forth.<br>
A lesser version than Pro will not have full functionality.<br>
