Question

I’m writing a Cocoa app which allows the user to drag content to another application. I’d like to write an automated GUI test for this behavior.

I can move the mouse cursor using CGDisplayMoveCursorToPoint(). How can I issue mousedown and mouseup events to simulate a drag and drop operation?

Answer 1

CGEventRef down = CGEventCreateMouseEvent(eventSource, kCGEventLeftMouseDown,point, 0);

        CGEventPost(kCGSessionEventTap, down);

        CFRelease(down);
