Martin,
  If you are still doing console mode stuff, you need to look at these functions...

GetNumberOfConsoleInputEvents
PeekConsoleInput
ReadConsoleInput

The ReadConsoleInput function uses an INPUT_RECORD structure that for mouse events contains a MOUSE_EVENT_RECORD that will give you the mouse position and the button information.  I've not used the mouse data before, but these are the same calls used for keyboard data.  You may want to look for these in the win32 RTL code and see if any mouse events are already handled, and save yourself some effort.  It may be up to you to provide your own mouse cursor.

Anyone else have more info about this?

Jeff.
