3.138 mouse_install

Function

Install an already loaded mouse driver.

Header

mouse.h

Declaration

unsigned char __fastcall__ mouse_install (const struct mouse_callbacks* c, void* driver);

Description

The function installs an already loaded mouse driver and returns an error code. The mouse_callbacks structure passed as first parameter contains pointers to routines needed to move or hide/show the mouse pointer. Defaults for these routines are supplied by the library, so if you can live with these defaults (which are platform specific), just pass a pointer to mouse_def_callbacks. The function may be used to install a driver linked statically to the program.

Limits

• Not all drivers are able to detect if the supported hardware is really present.
• After installing a driver, the mouse cursor is hidden.
• The function is only available as fastcall function, so it may only be used in presence of a prototype.
