Simulating a mouseclick

There's a picture in a program (not mine). How can I simulate a click on the picture? (I know the coordinates) Thanks, SMA

There is no "SendMouse" or "SendClick" so you have to use the Win32 API functions FindWindowEx to get the window that the image is in, get it's window handle, then use the API function SendMessage to send carefully crafted WM_LBUTTONDOWN and WM_LBUTTONUP messages to that window. Warning: This is NOT something for beginners!! You have to have specific knowledge of how Windows works and how your application works. If you don't have sufficient research skills, you'll find this a very frustrating experience.
