I am trying to make a macro engine for a personal project, and it would work fine, except that the form won't show when I debug it. Take it for granted that I am using the LuaInterface DLL please.

Code:

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

namespace Lua_Macroez
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();

            lua.RegisterFunction("MoveMouse", formStuff, formStuff.GetType().
                GetMethod("MoveMouse")); //Registers the mouse moving event
            lua.RegisterFunction("LeftCLick", formStuff, formStuff.GetType().
                GetMethod("LeftClick"));
        }

        [DllImport("User32.dll", SetLastError = true)]
        public static extern int SendInput(int nInputs, ref INPUT pInputs,
                                           int cbSize);

        //mouse event constants
        const int MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTDOWN = 2;
        const int MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTUP = 4;
        //input type constant
        const int INPUT_MOUSE = 0;

        Lua lua = new Lua(); //creates a new lua interpereter
        Form1 formStuff = new Form1(); 


        //This makes the functions that the lua executes later
        public void MoveMouse(int xval, int yval)
        {
            Cursor.Position = new Point(xval, yval);
        }

        public void LeftClick()
        {
            //set up the INPUT struct and fill it for the mouse down
            INPUT i = new INPUT();
            i.type = INPUT_MOUSE;
            i.mi.dx = 0;
            i.mi.dy = 0;
            i.mi.dwFlags = MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTDOWN;
            i.mi.dwExtraInfo = IntPtr.Zero;
            i.mi.mouseData = 0;
            i.mi.time = 0;
            //send the input 
            SendInput(1, ref i, Marshal.SizeOf(i));
            //set the INPUT for mouse up and send it
            i.mi.dwFlags = MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTUP;
            SendInput(1, ref i, Marshal.SizeOf(i));

        }
        //Function creation ends
        
        //struct that contains data for stuff
        public struct MOUSEINPUT
        {
            public int dx;
            public int dy;
            public int mouseData;
            public int dwFlags;
            public int time;
            public IntPtr dwExtraInfo;
        }

        public struct INPUT
        {
            public uint type;
            public MOUSEINPUT mi;
        }

        //structs end

        private void buttonExecute_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            lua.DoString(textBox1.ToString());
        }

        private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {

        }

    }
}

You do realize that formStuff is not the currently active form and is never shown in this code and it is the form you tie lua to?

Sheeeeit I figured out the problem.

lua.RegisterFunction("MoveMouse", this, this.GetType(). //<-- problem fixed
                GetMethod("MoveMouse")); //Registers the mouse moving event
            lua.RegisterFunction("LeftCLick", this, this.GetType().
                GetMethod("LeftClick"));
