Finding the Coordinates in a Console - Scorch - 01-29-2011 Here's a way to get the x and y values of your mouse in a console. It's neat to try, so compile it! [code] #include <windows.h> #include <iostream> int main() { HANDLE in; HANDLE out; COORD Mouse; Mouse.X = 30; Mouse.Y = 20; DWORD EventCount; int LoopCount = 0; int KeyEvents = 0; INPUT_RECORD rec; DWORD NumRead; in = GetStdHandle(STD_INPUT_HANDLE); out = GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE); SetConsoleTextAttribute(GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE),13); std::cout <<"\nMouse is at : " << "\n"; for(; { Sleep(10); GetNumberOfConsoleInputEvents(in,&EventCount); while (EventCount > 0) { ReadConsoleInput(in,&rec,1,&NumRead); if (rec.EventType == MOUSE_EVENT) { if (rec.Event.MouseEvent.dwEventFlags == MOUSE_MOVED) { SetConsoleCursorPosition(out,Mouse); std::cout << rec.Event.MouseEvent.dwMousePosition.X << "," << rec.Event.MouseEvent.dwMousePosition.Y << " " << std::flush; } } GetNumberOfConsoleInputEvents(in,&EventCount); } } return 0; } [/code] RE: Finding the Coordinates in a Console - Hidden Dragon - 01-29-2011 Is there any reason you use for(;;[b][/b]) instead of while(true)? RE: Finding the Coordinates in a Console - Scorch - 01-30-2011 It's personal preference. They both should loop forever, so it doesn't matter what you choose. |
