Thread: Here's my script need help with the courser.

Hay guys I need some help with this. Ok I have made a simple color picker for the CMD. It gets the color of the pixel from were the mouse pointer is.

This is what I’m trying to get to happen.
When the script runs I wont it to wait for the mouse to click before it gets the color of the pixel from the mouse pointer

This is what is does so far.
When it runs it automatically gets the pixel from the mouse position with out waiting for a click.

So can any of you help me with this??

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <windows.h>

int main()
{
    POINT pt;
    GetCursorPos(&pt);
    cout << pt.x << endl;
    cout << pt.y;
             HDC hdc = GetDC(NULL);
             DWORD color = GetPixel(hdc, pt.x, pt.y);
             unsigned int r = GetRValue(color);
             unsigned int g = GetGValue(color);
             unsigned int b = GetBValue(color);
    cout << "red: " << r << endl;
    cout << "green: " << g << endl;
    cout << "blue: " << b << endl;
cin.get();
cin.ignore();
return 0;
}

O yes and I’m using Dev-C++ and Windows XP.

Well, there could be a number of ways to read a mouse press. One way is to change the console input to also include mouse input. For reading: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/EN-US/library/ms685035.aspx

One possible limit is that the mouse might have to be on the console window, which kind of defeats the purpose.

It might be better to have your program pause with a "Please press <Enter> when you are pointing at the color in question..." type of message instead of relying on a click.

all right thanke you.
