    Set mouse position

    Hi, how can i set the mouse position? (system wide). Do i have to create a device driver for my purpose or there is any win32 API call that does that?

    Thank you.

    No, that's mouse events.
    SetCursorPos sets the mouse position on the screen for the current active user.
