Similar to ControlClick except it doesn't click, just hovers the mouse the set coords. -Would be cool.

What's wrong with simply moving the mouse there? Is there a specific advantage to having a hardwired app message versus moving the actual mouse?

Sub-Automation on java controls.

Although the concept is meaningful, for most purposes it seems that using MouseMove would be better. But if you need to hover without the window being visible, you could try using SendMessage to simulate the mouse-over events that a window normally receives. You can find out these messages using Rajat's SendMessage Tutorial.

If you determine that having a built-in feature would be commonly useful for various scripting tasks, please give examples.

I found Rajats tutorial on PostMessage very useful thanks but he said (and I've tried myself) that you couldn't really do this sorta thing on java (ControlFocus doesn't resolve the problem).

It's not that much required though... just another low-priority suggestion that would be nice to have implimented if it's not difficult.

If it can't be done with Post/SendMessage, I wouldn't know how to do it in the program either (assuming it can be done at all).
