About twenty years too late I have realised that it would be nice to add some mouse support, however limited, to my Clipper applications.
I have investigated a couple of (free) packages.
Have downloaded Clipmous and can get the SAMPLE program to run; it is possible to click on a field to establish focus for data entry and to invoke a menu selection by clicking on a section of displayed text; this seems pretty good. However there is very limited documentation, and it is not clear to me what public variables and other modifications I need to add to my programs to make use of the supplied replacement GetSys.prg.
Have also downloaded Ferns Graphical Library (fgl v30.zip). The sample FGDEMO.EXE can be compiled and linked, but when run it appears just to change the video mode and then returns to the command prompt, so it is not possible to see what it offers (there is limited documentation).
If anyone has installed and is actively using a library which supports the use of a mouse I would be grateful to hear.
Thanks. Andrew Mozley
