Win10 testuapp.exe mouse support

[d-_-b]

Hi

im playing around with fv free vision test unicode app: testuapp.pas

i found the topic Topic: SOLVED Using mouse in FreeVission regarding changing the

properties > options > quick edit mode

to allow freevision to interact with the mouse.

I do wonder how win32 tui applications like mcwin32 can launch correctly without human intervention?

For now i created a shortcut(.lnk) with quick edit mode disabled,

Maybe someone can give insight into how mc don't need such work around?

I am making a wild guess here based on the code of mcwin and the readme: mcwin is in nature a Windows application ?

The textmode IDE can too, probably you just need an extra windows specific call in startup.

Code: Delphi  [Select][+][-]

1. uses windows;
2. ....
3. var IdeMode : dword;
4. ...
5.  
6. // and then after the FV initvideo etc commands:
7. IdeMode:=({IdeMode or }ENABLE_MOUSE_INPUT or
8.                    ENABLE_WINDOW_INPUT or
9.                    ENABLE_EXTENDED_FLAGS)
10.            and not (ENABLE_PROCESSED_INPUT or
11.                     ENABLE_LINE_INPUT or
12.                     ENABLE_ECHO_INPUT or
13.                     ENABLE_INSERT_MODE or
14.                     ENABLE_QUICK_EDIT_MODE);
15.   SetConsoleMode(GetStdHandle(cardinal(Std_Input_Handle)), IdeMode);
16.

@Tron it is a TUI/command.exe application, just ported to windows.

@Oliebol thanks SetConsoleMode is what i needed and i even found its usage in the mcwin32 c code.
