How could I programmatically trigger a left-click event on the mouse?
Thanks.
edit: the event is not triggered directly on a button. I’m aiming for the Windows platform.

Use the Win32 API to send input.
Update:
Since I no longer work with Win32 API, I will not update this answer to be correct when the platform changes or websites become unavailable. Since this answer doesn’t even conform to Stackoverflow standards (does not contain the answer itself, but rather a link to an external, now defunct resource), there’s no point giving it any points or spending any more time on it.
Instead, take a look at this question on Stackoverflow, which I think is a duplicate:
