Thread: Win32 Console App- Mouse input

Here's an example taken mainly from MSDN

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <windows.h>

void MouseEventProc(MOUSE_EVENT_RECORD);

VOID KeyEventProc(KEY_EVENT_RECORD);

void gotoxy(int, int);
 
void MyErrorExit(char *s)
{
	printf ("Fatal: %s\n", s);
	exit (1);
}

int main(void)

    HANDLE hStdin; 
    DWORD cNumRead, fdwMode, fdwSaveOldMode, i; 
    INPUT_RECORD irInBuf[128]; 
 
    // Get the standard input handle. 
 
    hStdin = GetStdHandle(STD_INPUT_HANDLE); 
    if (hStdin == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE) 
        MyErrorExit("GetStdHandle"); 
 
    // Save the current input mode, to be restored on exit. 
 
    if (! GetConsoleMode(hStdin, &fdwSaveOldMode) )

    // Loop to read and handle the input events. 
 
    while (1) 
    {

                128,         // size of read buffer

            MyErrorExit("ReadConsoleInput");
