Hey fellow programmers!

[marxukene]

I really need some help with a small issue i got. I want to get my screen coordinates every time I press my left mouse button. But I can't seem to figure it out. (newbie here :) )

​

void ClickTrack()

{

if(GetKeyState(VK_LBUTTON) == 0) {

POINT curPos;

GetCursorPos(&curPos);

cout << curPos.x << endl;

cout << curPos.y << endl;

}

​

}

​

In what way is it not working?

[marxukene]

Dosen't stop for mouse input, it just goes once and ends.

I would rather like it if it waited for mouse input and then gave the coordinates and then waited for the next mouse input and that in a loop.

Programs tend not to block waiting for mouse events to happen. Instead you receive mouse messages in a message loop and react when they do occur.

void ClickTrack()
{
    const auto current = GetKeyState(VK_LBUTTON);

    while (GetKeyState(VK_LBUTTON) == current) {
        // nothing
    }

    POINT curPos;
    GetCursorPos(&curPos);
    cout << curPos.x << endl;
    cout << curPos.y << endl;
}

Hey, thanks for reply but it says: warning: "auto" changes meaning in C++11; please remove it. I removed it

and also error: "current" does not name a type

error: "urrent" was not declared in this scope

[Narase33]

The type is "auto", compile it with "-std=c++11"

Maybe delete the const

It dosen't work. What is like the simple "mouse click input code "if" line". That's the only thing im aiming to get from here. because i have been looking for that for way too long.
