Thread: Visual C++ 6.0 Console Application

You can read the mouse buttons like this -

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <windows.h>
using namespace std;


int main() {

	INPUT_RECORD ir;
	DWORD read;
	HANDLE h = GetStdHandle(STD_INPUT_HANDLE);
	SetConsoleMode(h, ENABLE_PROCESSED_INPUT | ENABLE_MOUSE_INPUT);	

		while(1)
		{
			FlushConsoleInputBuffer(h);

			ReadConsoleInput(h,&ir,1,&read);
			if(ir.Event.MouseEvent.dwButtonState&FROM_LEFT_1ST_BUTTON_PRESSED)
				cout << "left button" << endl;

			
		}
	
    return 0;
}

**Note - the only way I could get this to work properly was either running the console full screen or disabling QuickEdit Mode from the console properties.
