If you're using windows.h, you're not using C#.

So which is it? C or C#? The two languages are nowhere close to being the same.

C is correct

You need to use a framework that can run Windows code on a Linux OS, or rework your code to use one of the available supported GUI libraries (GTK, Qt, opencv etc.).

I don't know how to write any of the code, but I do have an idea of how you can approach the problem:
Get the user input, if it matches the mouse button your looking for, go onto a while loop which is while the mouse button is held down, call a click function which, surprisingly, clicks. Some pseudo-code below.

C

// gets user input
int input = get_user_input();
// for mouse
if(input == MOUSE_BUTTON_LEFT)
{
    // runs while mouse button is held down
    while(get_user_input(MOUSE_BUTTON_LEFT) == BUTTON_PRESS)
    {
        // this function makes a click
        mouse_button_click();
    }
}
