Here's a way to get the coordinates in a console window with your mouse.
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;
}
