Programmatically click and move mouse with VB.NET

Question

I want to build a program in VB .net that will allow me to control my pc with my laptop. The only question I really have is, how can I programmatically click without using some kind of click event, say if I want to click the start orb and my mouse is at that exact location, I'd like a sub or something that will click on it. Right now I only know how to click within the form.

Thanks

You can set the Cursor position with the property Cursor.Position.

You will need to P/Invoke mouse_event in user32.dll in order to simulate the mouse click.
