Everyone read : Help a beginner

Hi there, thank you for taking time to read my message.
I'm a beginner in all this programming stuff.My problem is that i can not figure out a way of using the mouse in my c++ programs. I will greatly appreciate it if you can give any information as to how i can get the mouse to work. I will be looking forward to your helpful reply. Thanx a lot.

what programs are we talking about?

What do you want to do with the mouse?
What platform?
What compiler?
Please give us more info.

If you want to use the mouse in DOS then stop wanting it.

You can use a mouse in dos

Yah but it might be hard for a C++ beginner :p
