Thread: C++ - How to 'fprintf' a right mouse click

Hello,

If I right click the mouse and type 'circle'/return then '10,10'/return then '15'/return,
the program does what is ecpected.

I'm running this code from a menu click and would like to send the data to the screen.
I'm not sure that 'fprintf' is the right call.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
If possible the code to run on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X (re-compiled).

Regards

Code:

    fprintf(stdout, right mouse click);
    fprintf(stdout, "%s\n", "circle");
    fprintf(stdout, "%d%s%d\n", 10, ",", 10);
    fprintf(stdout, "%d\n", 15);
    fflush(stdout);

If you use C++ you better use the streams not the old C files.

Thanks.
I still need to 'cout' right mouse click.

Regards

Code:

cout << right mouse click;
cout << "circle\n";
cout << "10,10\n";
cout << "15\n";

When the program is running, it knows what to do with mouse click events and the keyboard.

What I want to do is on a menu item click, send the mouse right click and some other data to the screen,

the program is waiting to pick up the mouse/keystrokes.

Your links show how to capture mouse events, not useful.
My question is how to send a right mouse click.

I was referring to OS depended due to the names they give the events,
in order to use then to figure out which event took place.

menu item click, send the mouse right click and some other data to the screen

you cannot send an event to a screen, only a touch screen can get an event off the screen. but not send it to the screen. That'd probably have to give someone a electrical shock in order to do that.

thinking... you're trying to just print out what the code number is for a right mouse click event ,

or are you trying to cause a right mouse click event to take place off of a menuClick then send some kind of confirm message that it took place then the rest of the data to output to a screen?
