auto-click 3rd party applications

I was wondering if there was a way to write a program to auto-click the screen, for automation with 3rd party closed source applications.

I know both vb.net and C# so thats not a problem. I just need to know if there is a way to program auto-click. I need it for firefox and also a 3rd party desktop app. any help would be wonderful! Even a small beginning. thanks in advance.

You would have to use the win32 API...(i have never done this)...but have stumbled across this discussion a couple of times. Seems to be the most trusted way to do so.
