Anyone know how to capture mouse click x and y coordinates?
 

I am trying to capture mouse clicks and get the x and y coordinates, but I can't seem to find anyway of doing it in C. The books I have looked at don't talk about it and the one that did--it's code doesn't compile.

Please Help.

The answer is "it depends".

The easiest approach would probably be to use a GUI library like GTK+ and use the library's functions to detect mouse clicks. Basically:

1. You would write a small "event handler"
2. You would register your event handler with the library
3. The library would call your handler every mouse click...giving
you the X, Y and button press as function parameters.

IMHO .. PSM
