making the mouse do stuff

[Mech1031]

i already know how to get the mouse to show up on the screen, but i need to know how to make it so the mouse does something. like maybe when i click on something, it will hilight it or print something. so if you would help me out, that would be such a big help.

There are mouse routines to detect clicks. When a click is detected, you just have to look its coordinates. Depending on where it is, you do something or another.

Which mouse lib are you using?

i dont know, i got the code from a freind. its in machine code and looks like this

Code:

SCREEN 13
ASM$ = ASM$ + CHR$(&HB8) + CHR$(&H01) + CHR$(&H00)
ASM$ = ASM$ + CHR$(&HCD) + CHR$(&H33)
ASM$ = ASM$ + CHR$(&HCB)

DEFSEG = VARSEG(ASM$)
CALL ABSOLUTE (SADD(ASM$))

that just turns it on, i want to know if there is any code to detect a click. no matter the coordinants.

Then look for a complete mouse library. You need functions to show and hide the mouse cursor, and to read status (that means read clicks and coordinates).
