mouse_event LEFTDOWN LEFTUP doesn't working in C#

I have some problem with my code. It can Set cursor position but it can't click. I read some post in this webstie, but I still can't fix my problem. So, what should I do? I am using C# .Net in Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

namespace AutoClick
{
    public partial class main : Form
    {
        [DllImport("user32.dll")]
        static extern void mouse_event(int dwFlags, int dx, int dy, int dwData, int dwExtraInfo);

        [Flags]
        public enum MouseEventFlags
        {
            LEFTDOWN = 0x00000002,
            LEFTUP = 0x00000004,
            MIDDLEDOWN = 0x00000020,
            MIDDLEUP = 0x00000040,
            MOVE = 0x00000001,
            ABSOLUTE = 0x00008000,
            RIGHTDOWN = 0x00000008,
            RIGHTUP = 0x00000010
        }

        public static void LeftClick(int x, int y)
        {
            Cursor.Position = new System.Drawing.Point(x, y);
            mouse_event((int)(MouseEventFlags.LEFTDOWN), 0, 0, 0, 0);
            mouse_event((int)(MouseEventFlags.LEFTUP), 0, 0, 0, 0);
        }

        public main()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void main_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            LeftClick(this.Location.X + 300, this.Location.Y + 250);

        }

        private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            button1.Text = "Ok";
        }
    }
}

You have no code to activate main_load function, unless it's self activated, but when I did this, my window goes away, until I retrieve it from the taskbar.

        private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            LeftClick(this.Location.X + 300, this.Location.Y + 250);
        }

I'm not sure if you are trying to move the window on mouse click, or move the mouse, but since

EDIT ... I now better understand these functions, here's a clean working code.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace Form1
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        private int posx, posy;
        private int locx, locy;
        private int curx, cury;
        private Rectangle screenRect;
        private Rectangle rect;

        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            codeit();
        }

        private void codeit()
        {

            locx = this.Location.X; locy = this.Location.Y;
            screenRect = Screen.PrimaryScreen.WorkingArea;
            rect = this.RectangleToScreen(screenRect);
            Console.WriteLine(rect.ToString());

            // to avoid clicking outside the window...
            locx += rect.X; locy += rect.Y; // location of window relative to screen
            // It's better to create your own function, so you have complete control of it
            MouseAction("action", "appWin");
        }

        private void MouseAction(string mouseAction, string appWindow)
        {
            switch (mouseAction)
            {
                case "left":
                    mouse_event((uint)MouseEventFlags.MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTDOWN, 0, 0, 0, 0);
                    mouse_event((uint)MouseEventFlags.MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTUP, 0, 0, 0, 0);
                    label1.Text = "left clicked"; Thread.Sleep(1000);
                    break;
                case "right":

                    mouse_event((uint)MouseEventFlags.MOUSEEVENTF_RIGHTUP, 0, 0, 0, 0);
                    label1.Text = "right clicked";
                    break;
                case "middle":
                    mouse_event((uint)MouseEventFlags.MOUSEEVENTF_MIDDLEDOWN, 0, 0, 0, 0);

If you want to manipulate a window, there is some info in Microsoft's Docs. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ff468919(v=vs.85).aspx This might also be helpful hopefully. http://www.codeproject.com/Tips/825946/Csharp-VB-NET-and-WinAPI-How-to-Access-Window-of-O
