❔ Way to use PostMessage as mouse click without switching current foreground window
Currently using
PostMessage(hTargetWindow, mapping, ti.wParam, ti.lParam),
the target window receives the event, mapping is one of WM_MOUSEMOVE | WM_LBUTTONDOWN | WM_LBUTTONUP, but the window is set as foreground i.e gets focused and any keyboard events will instead be sent to this window.
Is there a reliable way of using PostMessage with the previously mentioned events such that the window doesn't get focus? I tried using Get/SetForegroundWindow before and after PostMessage call, this didn't work (although return value of SetFg... was 1)7 Replies
What are you trying to make?

google multiseat. the app is covered by nda.
ill rephrase what im trying to do: emulate a mouse down/up/move event with PostMessage to a pre-determined target window, without changing the foreground window. The foreground window is the one which is currently active i.e the only one which receives keyboard events
a single computer which supports multiple independent local users at the same time
