Not exactly, as I understand your question.

It is a VB app with a panel that allows you to do various things like set
frequency, input a string of text to be sent in CW (normal rates), adjust
power, etc.

One of the buttons is a "KEY" button that generates carrier when you put the
mouse on it and push down the mouse button. It stops carrier when you
release the button.

So, I have a program that takes a script and generates mouse button clicks.
In order to generate a dit at QRSS30 it would say something like:

Button down
wait 30
Button up

This would cause a "Press mouse button" message to be sent to the operating
system and it would act like the "KEY" button was pressed. If the mouse
moves off the key button for any reason, the process goes fluky since the
mouse button depressions will be sent to some other button, field or window.

Clear as mud?
