Simple mouse input and more...

What I need to know is how to read the input from the mouse scroll wheel? Can I use this without MFC? OS: XP, VC++6

Thanks,
Kristian

sure you can do it without MFC.

this link might help you:

https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...mouseinput.asp

specifically:

https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...ousehwheel.asp

Every thing that can be done by MFC, can be done by API too.

Ok, thanks for your help but I don't understand how "WM_MOUSEHWHEEL" really works and if that's what I should use.

I was thinking of using the mouse scroll to scroll through a menu in a windows console application. Instead of using the keyboard to select a menu choice. Is that also possible?

You can get mouse position. You can get wheel move. So I think it is possible.
