Nope.

To be honest, I don't know how you post such events to another application -- specifically targeted to another application. In general, Mac OS X maintains a notion of a active application. The [there can only be one] active application is the one to which all keyboard events are directed, save for system hot-key type key events. While, certainly, mouse events can be directed to other applications, any kind of a click event is generally also going to cause the active application to change.

You have mentioned "server" application. Do you have a specific client application you are targeting? Or are you trying to generically send key events to various apps on the system?
