Mouse movement on inactive window

Post by Akk » 25 Sep 2022, 19:32

I am trying to practice mouse movements on an inactive window, ie a process that is not currently active on "front."

To explain further I want to be able to browse AHK forum while simultaneously making mouse movements on an inactive window in the background making circle's.

Is this possible through AHK? I know of controlsend for keyboard presses but I haven't found anything similar for mouse movements.

There is ControlClick for performing mouse clicks on an inactive window. There isn’t anything to perform virtual mouse movements, as there is only one mouse pointer (the actual one).

Thanks, I'll have to figure out how to do this some way then.
