- I am attempting to write an application in C that uses a microsoft
- compatible mouse in graphics mode. The difficulty I am having is in the
- call of the driver to determine the release status and number of cliks
- since the last call. Each time I call this function the status and
- number of cliks appear to be 0. Maybe (most probably) I don't
- understand the sequence necessary to call this function properly.
-
- I have coded a fairly tight loop that waits for the mouse to rest and
- then calls the release status function. This always gives a zero status
- and number of cliks although the cursor position of the mouse at button
- release appears to be correct. Could someone give some guidance on just
- how the mouse calls should be interacted with.
-
- Thanks in advance.
