+<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
+ These functions provide an interface to mouse events from
+ <STRONG><A HREF="ncurses.3x.html">ncurses(3x)</A></STRONG>. Mouse events are represented by <STRONG>KEY_MOUSE</STRONG>
+ pseudo-key values in the <STRONG>wgetch</STRONG> input stream.
+
+ To make mouse events visible, use the <STRONG>mousemask</STRONG> function.
+ This will set the mouse events to be reported. By de-
+ fault, no mouse events are reported. The function will
+ return a mask to indicate which of the specified mouse
+ events can be reported; on complete failure it returns 0.
+ If oldmask is non-NULL, this function fills the indicated
+ location with the previous value of the given window's
+ mouse event mask.
+
+ As a side effect, setting a zero mousemask may turn off
+ the mouse pointer; setting a nonzero mask may turn it on.
+ Whether this happens is device-dependent.
+
+ Here are the mouse event type masks which may be defined:
+
+
+ <EM>Name</EM> <EM>Description</EM>

+ BUTTON1_RELEASED mouse button 1 up

+ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+ Once a class of mouse events have been made visible in a
+ window, calling the <STRONG>wgetch</STRONG> function on that window may re-
+ turn <STRONG>KEY_MOUSE</STRONG> as an indicator that a mouse event has been
+ queued. To read the event data and pop the event off the
+ queue, call <STRONG>getmouse</STRONG>. This function will return <STRONG>OK</STRONG> if a
+ mouse event is actually visible in the given window, <STRONG>ERR</STRONG>
+ otherwise. When <STRONG>getmouse</STRONG> returns <STRONG>OK</STRONG>, the data deposited
+ as y and x in the event structure coordinates will be
+ screen-relative character-cell coordinates. The returned
+ state mask will have exactly one bit set to indicate the
+ event type. The corresponding data in the queue is marked
+ invalid. A subsequent call to <STRONG>getmouse</STRONG> will retrieve the
+ next older item from the queue.
+
+ The <STRONG>ungetmouse</STRONG> function behaves analogously to <STRONG>ungetch</STRONG>.
+ It pushes a <STRONG>KEY_MOUSE</STRONG> event onto the input queue, and as-
+ sociates with that event the given state data and screen-
+ relative character-cell coordinates.
+
+ The <STRONG>wenclose</STRONG> function tests whether a given pair of
+ screen-relative character-cell coordinates is enclosed by
+ a given window, returning TRUE if it is and FALSE other-
+ wise. It is useful for determining what subset of the
+ screen windows enclose the location of a mouse event.
+
+ The <STRONG>wmouse_trafo</STRONG> function transforms a given pair of coor-
+ dinates from stdscr-relative coordinates to coordinates
+ relative to the given window or vice versa. Please remem-
+ ber, that stdscr-relative coordinates are not always iden-
+ tical to window-relative coordinates due to the mechanism
+ to reserve lines on top or bottom of the screen for other
+ purposes (see the <STRONG>ripoffline()</STRONG> and <STRONG>slk_init</STRONG> calls, for ex-
+ ample). If the parameter <STRONG>to_screen</STRONG> is <STRONG>TRUE</STRONG>, the pointers
+ <STRONG>pY,</STRONG> <STRONG>pX</STRONG> must reference the coordinates of a location inside
+ the window <STRONG>win</STRONG>. They are converted to window-relative co-
+ ordinates and returned through the pointers. If the con-
+ version was successful, the function returns <STRONG>TRUE</STRONG>. If one
+ of the parameters was NULL or the location is not inside
+ the window, <STRONG>FALSE</STRONG> is returned. If <STRONG>to_screen</STRONG> is <STRONG>FALSE</STRONG>, the
+ pointers <STRONG>pY,</STRONG> <STRONG>pX</STRONG> must reference window-relative coordi-
+ nates. They are converted to stdscr-relative coordinates
+ if the window <STRONG>win</STRONG> encloses this point. In this case the
+ function returns <STRONG>TRUE</STRONG>. If one of the parameters is NULL
+ or the point is not inside the window, <STRONG>FALSE</STRONG> is returned.
+ Please notice, that the referenced coordinates are only
+ replaced by the converted coordinates if the transforma-
+ tion was successful.
+
+ The <STRONG>mouse_trafo</STRONG> function performs the same translation as
+ <STRONG>wmouse_trafo</STRONG>, using stdscr for <STRONG>win</STRONG>.
+
+ The <STRONG>mouseinterval</STRONG> function sets the maximum time (in thou-
+ sands of a second) that can elapse between press and re-
+ lease events for them to be recognized as a click. Use
+ <STRONG>mouseinterval(0)</STRONG> to disable click resolution. This func-
+ tion returns the previous interval value. Use <STRONG>mouseinter-</STRONG>
+ <STRONG>val(-1)</STRONG> to obtain the interval without altering it. The
+ default is one sixth of a second.
+
+ The <STRONG>has_mouse</STRONG> function returns TRUE if the mouse driver
+ has been successfully initialized.
+
+ Note that mouse events will be ignored when input is in
+ cooked mode, and will cause an error beep when cooked mode
+ is being simulated in a window by a function such as <STRONG>get-</STRONG>
+ <STRONG>str</STRONG> that expects a linefeed for input-loop termination.
+
+
+</PRE>
+<H2>RETURN VALUE</H2><PRE>
+ <STRONG>getmouse</STRONG> and <STRONG>ungetmouse</STRONG> return the integer <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> upon fail-
+ ure or <STRONG>OK</STRONG> upon successful completion.
+
+ <STRONG>getmouse</STRONG>
+ returns an error. If no mouse driver was ini-
+ tialized, or if the mask parameter is zero, it
+ also returns an error if no more events remain
+ in the queue.
+
+ <STRONG>ungetmouse</STRONG>
+ returns an error if the FIFO is full.
+
+ <STRONG>mousemask</STRONG> returns the mask of reportable events.
+
+ <STRONG>mouseinterval</STRONG> returns the previous interval value, unless
+ the terminal was not initialized. In that case, it re-
+ turns the maximum interval value (166).
+
+ <STRONG>wenclose</STRONG> and <STRONG>wmouse_trafo</STRONG> are boolean functions returning
+ <STRONG>TRUE</STRONG> or <STRONG>FALSE</STRONG> depending on their test result.
+
+
+</PRE>
+<H2>PORTABILITY</H2><PRE>
+ These calls were designed for <STRONG><A HREF="ncurses.3x.html">ncurses(3x)</A></STRONG>, and are not
+ found in SVr4 curses, 4.4BSD curses, or any other previous
+ version of curses.
+
+ The feature macro <STRONG>NCURSES_MOUSE_VERSION</STRONG> is provided so the
+ preprocessor can be used to test whether these features
+ are present. If the interface is changed, the value of
+ <STRONG>NCURSES_MOUSE_VERSION</STRONG> will be incremented. These values
+ for <STRONG>NCURSES_MOUSE_VERSION</STRONG> may be specified when configur-
+ ing ncurses:
+
+ 1 has definitions for reserved events. The mask
+ uses 28 bits.
+
+ 2 adds definitions for button 5, removes the defi-
+ nitions for reserved events. The mask uses 29
+ bits.
+
+ The order of the <STRONG>MEVENT</STRONG> structure members is not guaran-
+ teed. Additional fields may be added to the structure in
+ the future.
+
+ Under <STRONG><A HREF="ncurses.3x.html">ncurses(3x)</A></STRONG>, these calls are implemented using ei-
+ ther xterm's built-in mouse-tracking API or platform-spe-
+ cific drivers including
+ Alessandro Rubini's gpm server
+ FreeBSD sysmouse
+ OS/2 EMX
+ If you are using an unsupported configuration, mouse
+ events will not be visible to <STRONG><A HREF="ncurses.3x.html">ncurses(3x)</A></STRONG> (and the <STRONG>mouse-</STRONG>
+ <STRONG>mask</STRONG> function will always return <STRONG>0</STRONG>).
+
+ If the terminfo entry contains a <STRONG>XM</STRONG> string, this is used
+ in the xterm mouse driver to control the way the terminal
+ is initialized for mouse operation. The default, if <STRONG>XM</STRONG> is
+ not found, corresponds to private mode 1000 of xterm:
+ \E[?1000%?%p1%{1}%=%th%el%;
+ The z member in the event structure is not presently used.
+ It is intended for use with touch screens (which may be
+ pressure-sensitive) or with 3D-mice/trackballs/power
+ gloves.
+
+
+</PRE>
+<H2>BUGS</H2><PRE>
+ Mouse events under xterm will not in fact be ignored dur-
+ ing cooked mode, if they have been enabled by <STRONG>mousemask</STRONG>.
+ Instead, the xterm mouse report sequence will appear in
+ the string read.
+
+ Mouse events under xterm will not be detected correctly in
+ a window with its keypad bit off, since they are inter-
+ preted as a variety of function key. Your terminfo de-
+ scription should have <STRONG>kmous</STRONG> set to "\E[M" (the beginning
+ of the response from xterm for mouse clicks). Other val-
+ ues for <STRONG>kmous</STRONG> are permitted, but under the same assump-
+ tion, i.e., it is the beginning of the response.
+
+ Because there are no standard terminal responses that
+ would serve to identify terminals which support the xterm
+ mouse protocol, <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> assumes that if your $TERM envi-
+ ronment variable contains "xterm", or <STRONG>kmous</STRONG> is defined in
+ the terminal description, then the terminal may send mouse
+ events.
