Stopping Mouse Events in C
Posted by Mycroft [send private reply] at March 10, 2002, 05:08:43 PM
I have a console program where I only what the user to work with the keyboard because it is a real-time ASCII maze. But if I move the mouse events occur that screw up the program. For example everytime the character moves there is a 5% chance an enemy will attack, but if I move the mouse about 20 event occur and no matter what an enemy will attack. Is there a way to cut of the mouse from doing events to interfer with the program but still be allowed to close/minimiza/maximaze the console window.

It's your logic determining when these periodic "enemy attacks" happen. Simply skip the random calculation when the events received aren't the ones you want.

If your writing for the DOS console the mouse shouldn't be activated automatically anyways... Are you using the mouse in this program and activating it yourself?
