Why do you need virtual mouse to program?
Anyways, Windows already has mousekeys.

I checked up a "Virtual Mouth" in the store where I buy most of my computer parts. It's not in stock :-).

It's hard to understand what do you mean by that. If you need to simulate mouse input, the most robust way it to P/Invoke the Windows API SendInput, see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms646310(v=vs.85).aspx[^].

I hope you know how to P/Invoke things. The case of SendInput is not tricky at all but needs some writing.
