Console: Mouse Movements

[Shawn B.]

Greetings,

Is there a way to use the mouse in a console application? ... such as
detecting what row/col a mouse was clicked, whether the left middle or right
mouse button and whether the mouse button is down while a mouse moves?
There doesn't appear to be any built-in capabilities in C#, but I was
wondering if there is a way to do so via p-invoke. In any case, I've google
for quite some time and it appears to be hard to find any direct
information. I see references to people specifying mouse input via the
console, but I don't see a concrete use of someone actually using the mouse
with the console.
Thanks,
Shawn

I am not sure if the mouse events work the same in console as they do in
forms but here is some info on mouse events in forms.

So if this answer covers what you already knew.
