For single left mouse clicks specifically, you want WM_LBUTTONDOWN and
WM_LBUTTONUP--posted/sent separately. For LBUTTONDOWN: WParam is a sum of MK_*
bit flags that indicate if control, shift, other mouse buttons, etc. are down
for the post; LParam is a long of x/y cursor coordinates, relative to the
top-left corner of the window to which you'll post the message. I think you can
post LBUTTONUP to the same window with 0s for w/lparam. The MSDN has decent
entries on the messages and all the mouse messages themselves are in winuser.h.
Also, I believe Doug Lee has written a "winclick" module (available at least as
part of BX) that abstracts this into functions.
