Scratch that, I edited my code, it is now proporely:
Doesnt work, not sure why... Anyone got some ideas?Code:#include <iostream> #include <windows.h> using namespace std; int main() { POINT a; POINT *b; int c=1; b=&a; GetCursorPos(b); while(c=1) if(!WM_RBUTTONDOWN) c=0; cout << a.x << " " << a.y; }
I'm using WinXP Borland C++ Free Command Line Compiler.

Code:Error W8057 C:\\Life.cpp: Invalid number of arguments in function run(Brain *)
I think that the window messages (WM_...) only can be used like that after the message processing, so you shold use them in an application window; maybe you can find a way to get the messages from the console, process them and receive the results into a 'simil like' main procedure. If I'm not in error, WM_RBUTTONDOWN is one of the results of a message processing. once I found on the net a sample of mouse routines for non-window applications, but I can't remember where I foud that. maybe you can get a help from some game library, them usually have such rutines.

Ah, thank you for telling me that, it was driving me nuts!
Well does anyone know of the correct function to find if a mouse button is down for the console?
Code:Error W8057 C:\\Life.cpp: Invalid number of arguments in function run(Brain *)
I went poking around the web for about seven hours, and found some code that detects console button presses. Oddly enough, it doesnt work proporely. Because the code wasnt specificaly related to mouse clicking, I'm not sure if I copied the code correctly. I altered it a bit, looked up some other stuff, but I cant find anything else.
Well, heres my newely revised code:
For some reason, this sets off whenever you move your mouse on the console... Hmmm... Anyone?Code:#include <iostream.h> #include <windows.h> #include <conio.h> using namespace std; int main() { INPUT_RECORD rec; DWORD evk; HANDLE hIn = GetStdHandle(STD_INPUT_HANDLE); int x_pos, y_pos; SetConsoleMode(hIn, ENABLE_MOUSE_INPUT); for(;;) { ReadConsoleInput(hIn, &rec, 1, &evk); if(rec.EventType == MOUSE_EVENT) if(rec.Event.MouseEvent.dwButtonState != FROM_LEFT_1ST_BUTTON_PRESSED) { x_pos = rec.Event.MouseEvent.dwMousePosition.X; y_pos = rec.Event.MouseEvent.dwMousePosition.Y; break; } } cout << x_pos << " " << y_pos; }

and what has happened with the loop???
I know that's a ugly implementation, only to see how that worksCode:#include <iostream.h> #include <windows.h> #include <conio.h> #include <stdlib.h> using namespace std; bool ok=true; int main() { INPUT_RECORD rec; DWORD evk; HANDLE hIn = GetStdHandle(STD_INPUT_HANDLE); int x_pos, y_pos; while(ok) { SetConsoleMode(hIn, ENABLE_MOUSE_INPUT); for(;;) { ReadConsoleInput(hIn, &rec, 1, &evk); if(rec.EventType == MOUSE_EVENT) { if(rec.Event.MouseEvent.dwButtonState != FROM_LEFT_1ST_BUTTON_PRESSED) { x_pos = rec.Event.MouseEvent.dwMousePosition.X; y_pos = rec.Event.MouseEvent.dwMousePosition.Y; break; } } } system("cls"); cout << x_pos << " " << y_pos; } }
I wasn't referring to those rutines to work with the console mode and windows, I think that the rutines I was talking about was to get some interrupts from the system (I'm not sure about that, but I think that was it). for the moment works with those win32 api console functions.

Ah, thank you very much for that, you saved my program with that!
