mouse_event deprecated - is SendInput available?

[fatmonk]

I see from MSDN that Mouse_Event has been 'superseded' and that SendInput is recommended instead - however that doesn't seem to exist in Lazarus.

I've also spotted an old thread saying that it actually does exist in windows.h but is commented out - the poster of that thread was having trouble getting it working after uncommenting.

I've actually got things working OK with Mouse_Event, but wanted to investigate using SendInput as it's the recommended option from MSDN.

Is SendInput supported or available somehow?
