Hi,
I am using windows(XP).
In C, we can use scanf statement to accept any character.
I want to accept only mouse click as input.
How can I do in C?
Thanks in Advance,
Kishore

The is no Standard C method of interfacing with any input device except the keyboard.
TBH even if you are running on Windows I am unaware of any function in the API you could use in a console application to intercept a mouse click.

The very first google result for 'win32 console app mouse' (without quotes, just in case) contains example on mouse events in console from msdn.
