question

@Valleze-6170, Welcome to Microsoft Q&A, based on my research, I find a solution to do it.

Please install following nuget-package:

Then you could try the following code to move mouse cursor to button location.

Code:

  public int X { get; set; }
         public int Y { get; set; }
         protected override bool ProcessCmdKey(ref Message msg, Keys keyData)
         {
             if(keyData.ToString()=="K")
             {
    
                 Cursor.Position = new Point(X, Y);
                 return true;
             }
             return base.ProcessCmdKey(ref msg, keyData);
         }
         private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
         {
             Bitmap bitmap1 = new Bitmap(this.Width, this.Height);
             this.DrawToBitmap(bitmap1, this.ClientRectangle);
             bitmap1 = Example.ConvertToFormat((System.Drawing.Image)bitmap1, PixelFormat.Format24bppRgb);
             System.Drawing.Bitmap template = Example.ConvertToFormat(System.Drawing.Image.FromFile("1.png"), PixelFormat.Format24bppRgb);
             // create template matching algorithm's instance
             // (set similarity threshold to 90%)
             ExhaustiveTemplateMatching tm = new ExhaustiveTemplateMatching(0.9f);
             // find all matchings with specified above similarity
    
             TemplateMatch[] matchings = tm.ProcessImage(bitmap1, template);
             // highlight found matchings
    
             BitmapData data = bitmap1.LockBits(
                  new Rectangle(0, 0, bitmap1.Width, bitmap1.Height),
                  ImageLockMode.ReadWrite, bitmap1.PixelFormat);
             foreach (TemplateMatch m in matchings)
             {
    
                 Drawing.Rectangle(data, m.Rectangle, Color.White);
                 Console.WriteLine(m.Rectangle.Location.ToString());
                 // do something else with matching
                 X = m.Rectangle.X;
                 Y = m.Rectangle.Y;
             }
         }
    
  public static class Example
     {
         public static Bitmap ConvertToFormat(this System.Drawing.Image image, PixelFormat format)
         {
             Bitmap copy = new Bitmap(image.Width, image.Height, format);
             using (Graphics gr = Graphics.FromImage(copy))
             {
                 gr.DrawImage(image, new Rectangle(0, 0, copy.Width, copy.Height));
             }
             return copy;
         }
     }

If you press K, the mouse cursor will move to button1's place.

Note: It is necessary for you to Maximize Window otherwise the posistion is not correct.

Result:

I created a new form and just added a button to test this code above.

I added to the project:
AForge code library;
Aforge.Imaging library;
AForge.Math library;

There are many errors in this code, I couldn't fix it, but in this link below, we can see it working in the test that the author of the code published. Apparently, his code works without needing to maximize the form window.

Could you help me to fix the errors in this code, so that I can try to adapt it to my project? I'm using visual studio 2022, I don't know if this makes a difference to how the code works.

Here is the link where this code was posted, as an answer to another old question from someone else:
