Mouse Input

-----------------------------------

I'm confused on how to exactly read mouse input using console functions. Can anyone give a brief example?

Thanks. :D

I doubt you can even read mouse input using console functions  :? but I could be wrong.

I figured out how to do it in opengl. Heres the code for anyone who has a similar question:


LRESULT CALLBACK WndProc (HWND hWnd, UINT message,
                          WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{

    switch (message)
    {
    case WM_CREATE:
        return 0;
    case WM_CLOSE:
        PostQuitMessage (0);
        return 0;

    case WM_DESTROY:
        return 0;
        
    //***Monitors mouse click***
    //Ex: WM_LBUTTONDOWN       
    case WM_MOUSEWHEEL:
        //*Actions go here*
        return 0;
   //***

    case WM_KEYDOWN:
        switch (wParam)
        {
        case VK_ESCAPE:
            PostQuitMessage(0);
            return 0;
        }
        return 0;

    default:
        return DefWindowProc (hWnd, message, wParam, lParam);
    }
}


This function is found near the bottom of your opengl file, you just need to add the part in the commented area. As for 'WM_MOUSEWHEEL' part, thats just the code indicating the mouse event. 

A good website, and really, the only website to find a full documentation of C++ and opengl commands, is at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/
