| | how can we use mouse input in C programs...i think that works only in graphics mode...
i tried a few functions that are available but they are not working...either i dont know how to use them properly or they dont work under my compiler...i use borlandv3.
do i have to download some file from internet which will make it work or i need to use a different compiler.....
and also i wish to know what all things i can do with it once it starts working,i mean checkbox or optionbox or making mouse focus specific areas.................
I know these things can be done better with other languages like VB ..but i need to work in C. |

I'm not sure how much this helps, but I found a utility that can help with graphics implementation for C++. I am unsure how it works for C. I also haven't tested it or anything, but I guess it is worth a try. http://www.genlogic.com/rel26.htmlAlso note that this does use Active-X (yuck!), which I guess saves you all the bother of reading the 25 X-Windows books to learn to make a simple pop-up...which I guess is a good thing.

The only was to get mouse input in C programs is to include either the windows.h header file or the x-window headers. The reason is that C is a console language and does not do anything with graphics since a console is keyboard based. However, if you add a graphics header to make the program into a graphical one, you will be able to get mouse input. Look into using winmain on windows. You will see there is msgproc which has a bunch of mouse messages and this is where you will handle mouse input.

The gpm library ( http://linux.schottelius.org/gpm/) provides a mouse server without any x11 stuffs. I don't know how well it can be natively ported to windows (or if one already exists) but it should be able to be cygwin'd.

Stringgrid Canvas Distorts Mouse Selection

this caused a problem. Now the selection area (box) is not visible. And also the content of the
cells are not visible. Now I understand that the content is not visible and the canvas object has a
function to fill text. So that is not a problem, but when the user selects multiple cell....
