Help me Understand the Graphics Function

[Allan]

Hi All,
I know about function initgraph() which takes the graphics driver and graphics mode as parameters. But I recently came across a function called initmouse( ). I could not guess the usage of this function. Can somebody explain me the usage of this function and what does this function return.

Regards,
Allan

Hi,
The name initmouse() suggests that it has got something to do with initializing mouse. But interesting!!! What is there to initialize in mouse. Initializing display and drivers is quite understandable. But in mouse what is there to initialize. So does it mean that my idea about initmouse() associated with initializing mouse is wrong. Someone suggest the correct answer.

Regards,
Norman

Hi,

Yes, The name initmouse() suggests that it has got something to do with initializing mouse. There is lot to initialize in mouse . Because, C/C++ is a different IDE you need to reinitialize the mouse apart from your operating system environment ... note that you won't normally see a mouse pointer while veiwing your output screen untill & unless you use initmouse() function in your program...
