If you have installed the mouse initial value is 0. For example:In the dialog-based application to place two Button, names, respectively HideCursor and ShowCursor; then placed on a CStatic control, named Label1, used to display the cursor counter. The Source as follows:

/ / Make the cursor counter minus one, if less than zero, hide the cursor
void CMyTestDlg:: OnHideCursor ()
{
int i;
i = ShowCursor (FALSE);
Cstring string;
string.Format (_T ( "% d"), i);
Label123.SetWindowText (& string);
}
/ / Make the cursor counter value plus one, if greater than zero, display the cursor
void CMyTestDlg:: OnShowCursor ()
{
int j;
j = ShowCursor (TRUE);
Cstring string;
string.Format (_T ( "% d"), j);
Label123.SetWindowText (& string);
}

Run the program, a continuous click ShowCursor button, you will see the counter from 1 (the cursor is displayed with an initial value 0) and began to increase 1; HideCursor button and then click a row, will continue to see the counter by one, when the counter is -1 when the began to hide the cursor.

You can use Parameter fSwap, for Boolean, TRUE, said the exchange of the mouse left button, FALSE, said recovery system used by default right-hand man; return value is also a Boolean type, exchange, return value is TRUE, to restore normal for FALSE. For Example: Placed in the application of two Button, names, respectively ReverseMouse and RestoreMouse.
Source as follows:

/ / Exchange right mouse buttons
void CMyTestDlg:: OnReverseMouse ()
{
BOOL T;
T = SwapMouseButton123 (True);
If (T)
MessageBox ( "Mouse left key exchange successfully!");
}
/ / Restore the mouse left key exchange
void CMyTestDlg:: OnRestoreMouse ()
{
BOOL T;
T = SwapMouseButton123 (FALSE);
If (! T)
MessageBox ( "right mouse button to restore to default!");
}

Run the program, left-click ReverseMouse button, left mouse button at this time to achieve functional switching; RestoreMouse and then right-click button, left mouse button at this time to achieve functional recovery.

If you want to get the mouse double-click the time, check the function:
UINT GetDoubleClickTime (VOID); The function without parameters; its return value is in milliseconds, in order to double-click the mouse double-click the valid time interval. For example: In the window, place a Button, name GetDoubleClickTime; then placed on a named Label1 the CStatic control, used to display double-click the time.
Source as follows:

/ / Get and display the mouse double-click the time
void CMyTestDlg:: OnGetDoubleClickTime ()
{
int DTime123;
Cstring string;
DTime123: = GetDoubleClickTime ();
string.Format (_T ( "% d"), Dtime);
Label1.SetWindowText (& string);
}

Run the program, click GetDoubleClickTime, double-click the Label1 to display the time of milliseconds.

If you want to set the mouse double-click the time, check the function:
BOOL SetDoubleClickTime (UINT uInterval); Parameter uInterval, said the mouse double-click time for the milliseconds, the system default is 500;
Return value is a Boolean value. For example : In the window, place a Button, name SetDoubleClickTime.
Source as follows:

/ / Set the mouse double click time
void CmyTestDlg:: OnSetDoubleClickTime ()
{
Bool T;
T = SetDoubleClickTime (200);
If (T)
MessageBox ( "successfully set up the mouse double-click the time!");
}

Run the program, click BtnSetDoubleClickTime, the mouse double-click the time has changed.

If you want to the mouse locked in a certain range, check the function:
BOOL ClipCursor (CONST RECT * lpRect); Parameters * lpRect, pointing to the activities of a rectangular region of the mouse pointer; return value is a Boolean type, indicating success or failure of lock. For example: In the window, place two Button, name LockMouse and UnLockMouse.
Source as follows:

/ / Mouse locked in a fixed area
void CmyTestDlg:: OnLockMouse ()
{
RECT Rect;
BOOL bLock;
Rect.left = 15; / / set the lock area size;
Rect.top = 15;
Rect.right = 300;
Rect.bottom = 300;
bLock: = ClipCursor (& Rect); / / restrict mouse movement area
if (block)
MessageBox ( "mouse fixed in the designated area!");
}

Run the program, click LockMouse, this time the mouse locked in a fixed area; and then click the lock to unlock UnLockMouse-button mouse. Check and reply.
