[MSWIN32] Trouble with mouse programming

[Nobby Golder]

Hello friends

I am trying to run this simple test program to on my WinXP, but
every time I try to run it just crashes. I have also tested couple of
programs from Net on my machine but they also seem to fail. I reckon
that WinXP does not allow me to set up a mouse handler.


#include <stdio.h>
#include <dos.h>
#include <conio.h>


const int MOUSE_INT_MASK = 0x15;
union REGS i, o;
union SREGS sr;


void far interrupt mouse_handler()
{


printf("You did something with mouse\n");



}


int init_mouse()
{
int i;
asm {
mov ax, 0;
int 0x33;
mov i, ax

}
return i;



}


void show_mouse() {

asm {
mov ax, 0x1;
int 0x33;
}



}


void mouse_init( )
{
unsigned short seg = FP_SEG(mouse_handler);
unsigned short off = FP_OFF(mouse_handler);
/* convert the below to assembly */
i.x.ax = 0x0C;
i.x.cx = MOUSE_INT_MASK;
i.x.dx = off;
sr.es = seg;
int86x(0x33, &i, &o, &sr);


}


void main()
{
clrscr();

init_mouse();
show_mouse();
mouse_init();
while(!kbhit())
continue;
}

That may well be. You might find a newsgroup related to Windows programming
better suited to answering your question, though, as there's nothing remotely
related to the C language here, just a bunch of questions about a particular
operating system.

Try asking in comp.os.ms-windows.programmer.win32.

Yes it does. And you know what else? Reagan isn't U.S. President any longer.

You should try to get your life together first, before worrying about mice
under Windows.

Things changed a lot since you fell into that coma in 1986, and not only in PC
programming.

The code is written for DOS. It would (presumably) work on DOS, or on
the versions of Windows which run on top of DOS (Win3.1, Win95/98/ME).

It won't work on any NT-based version of Windows (NT,2K,XP,Vista,7).
These don't support real-mode 8086 code. Try DOSbox, DOSemu, etc.

Further questions should probably go to comp.os.msdos.programmer.

My Dearest Nobby:

Here are some answers to your exact question which appeared on Usenet
word-for-word in April 2004:

This program is written for the MSDOS operating system,
that has ceased to exist more than 15 years ago (more or less).

That's why it doesn't work.

Try to get the documentation for windows xp, get a 32
bit compiler and use the windows API. Then you can setup
a mouse "handler" as you wish.

It's CGRIIIISTMAAAASS!!!!

Hello friends

I am trying to run this simple test program to on my WinXP, but

#include <dos.h>
#include <conio.h>

It's also a particularly dumb troll.
