ncurses_mousemask

(PHP 4 >= 4.2.0, PHP 5 < 5.3.0, PECL ncurses >= 1.0.0)

Sets mouse options

int ncurses_mousemask ( int $newmask, int &$oldmask )

Sets mouse events to be reported. By default no mouse events will be reported.

Mouse events are represented by NCURSES_KEY_MOUSE in the ncurses_wgetch() input stream. To read the event data and pop the event of queue, call ncurses_getmouse().

Parameters:

newmask

Mouse mask options can be set with the following predefined constants:

NCURSES_BUTTON1_PRESSED
NCURSES_BUTTON1_RELEASED
NCURSES_BUTTON1_CLICKED
NCURSES_BUTTON1_DOUBLE_CLICKED
NCURSES_BUTTON1_TRIPLE_CLICKED
NCURSES_BUTTON2_PRESSED
NCURSES_BUTTON2_RELEASED
NCURSES_BUTTON2_CLICKED
NCURSES_BUTTON2_DOUBLE_CLICKED
NCURSES_BUTTON2_TRIPLE_CLICKED
NCURSES_BUTTON3_PRESSED
NCURSES_BUTTON3_RELEASED
NCURSES_BUTTON3_CLICKED
NCURSES_BUTTON3_DOUBLE_CLICKED
NCURSES_BUTTON3_TRIPLE_CLICKED
NCURSES_BUTTON4_PRESSED
NCURSES_BUTTON4_RELEASED
NCURSES_BUTTON4_CLICKED
NCURSES_BUTTON4_DOUBLE_CLICKED
NCURSES_BUTTON4_TRIPLE_CLICKED
NCURSES_BUTTON_SHIFT>
NCURSES_BUTTON_CTRL
NCURSES_BUTTON_ALT
NCURSES_ALL_MOUSE_EVENTS
NCURSES_REPORT_MOUSE_POSITION

As a side effect, setting a zero mousemask in newmask turns off the mouse pointer. Setting a non zero value turns mouse pointer on.

oldmask

This will be set to the previous value of the mouse event mask.

Returns:

Returns the mask of reportable events. On complete failure, it returns 0.
