Hello!
I am trying  generate mouse event and using the mouse_event function. When
event in  my application win32 (started by WINE) it is work great, but when
event in the native Linux (Ubuntu) window it's does not work.

Mouse move work ok in Ubuntu and mouse is moving 
mouse_event(MOUSEEVENTF_MOVE, x, y, 0, 0);

But MOUSEEVENTF_RIGHTDOWN, MOUSEEVENTF_RIGHTUP is not working for Linux window.
native Linux window is transparent for event.

How can I generate mouse click for native Linux windows? from my win32
application.

Thank you for quick reply.
I see the bugs 6887,9128,23027, but there is no solution of the problem,
(generate mouse click for native Linux windows) , 
this is impossible?

Very interesting, because function "mouse_event(MOUSEEVENTF_MOVE" working
great, i see mouse move on the linux window and i can select menu items or
buttons, but don't click it.

Can i sendmessage to linux window? 
May be better discuss this question on the forum?

I have suggestion.
If wine can do mouse move event, wine must do mouse click event for linux
window.

Instruction:)

1. Wine got the mouse click event (WM_MouseClick or mouse_event MOUSEEVENTF)
2. Wine check the top focused window in Linux and if it Linux window, wine
generate  a mouse click event for Linux system.

I belive wine can do it)

There is an answer in one of the bugs I referenced: X11 APIs don't provide
a reliable way for that.

Sorry Dmitry, i'm not linux programmer. (only Windows)
But i find some useful information, functions Xlib XSendEvent and xdotool.

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14656615/xlib-xsendevent-click-event-do-n...

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5802177/mouse-button-simulation-right-but...

http://www.semicomplete.com/blog/geekery/xsendevent-xdotool-and-ld_preload.h...

I think if XSendEvent can do mouse click (and keyboard event) in the some linux
windows, this is better than nothing.

Can i have hope, to get this feature in the future?
I try run remote access software in the Linux and without mouse/keyboard
simulation my applications won't work on 100%, because it is can't to do remote
desktop control.

I think WINE must evolution, and provide more opportunities: simulate
mouse/keyboard, control system power and etc.

Click of the cursor across the field OUT OF the wine windows is necessary!
1.9.14 without working.
