Package user32util provides helper functionality for working with Windows'

user32 library.

## APIs

The library offers several helper functions for working with user32.

Many of these functions require that you first load the user32 DLL:

```go

user32, err := user32util.LoadUser32DLL()

if err != nil {

	// Error handling.

}

```

#### Input listeners

- `NewLowLevelMouseListener()` - Starts a listener that reports on mouse input

- `NewLowLevelKeyboardListener()` - Starts a listener that reports on

keyboard input

#### Send input

- `SendKeydbInput()` - Sends a single keyboard input

- `SendMouseInput()` - Sends a single mouse input

- `SendInput()` - Send input implements the `SendInput()` Windows system call

- `SendHardwareInput()` - Sends a single hardware input

## Examples

The following examples can be found in the [examples/ directory](examples/):

- [moveandclickmouse](examples/moveandclickmouse/main.go) - Moves the mouse

and then left clicks on the new position. Takes inputs as command line

arguments in `x,y` format. E.g., `example 1221,244 460,892`. Coordinates

can be printed by running: `example print`

- [readkeyboard](examples/readkeyboard/main.go) - Reads keyboard presses and

prints them to stderr

- [readmouse](examples/readmouse/main.go) - Reads mouse inputs and prints them

to stderr

- [sendinput](examples/sendinput/main.go) - Sends keyboard or mouse inputs

to Windows
