I've found many articles on how to set the mouse position in a C# windows forms project - I want to do this in a console application. How can I set the absolute mouse position from a C# windows console application?

Thanks!

Hint: it's not Console.setCursorPosition, that only sets the position of the text cursor in the console.

Fixed little mistake in Chaz unswer:

using System.Runtime.InteropServices;


namespace ConsoleImageWorker
{
    public static class Mouse
    {

        [DllImport("user32.dll")]
        static extern bool SetCursorPos(int X, int Y);

        public static void SetCursorPosition(int x, int y)
        {
            SetCursorPos(x, y);
        }
    }
}

After that in any class you can just call:

Mouse.SetCursorPosition(100, 100);
