I''m searching for a windows function which indicate when a mouse button is down and which of the button is down. I ve tried "GetQueueStatus()" but it only indicates when an event append but not what type of event it is. thx

You can use GetAsyncKeyState() for that, for the first moust button for example you would do: GetAsyncKeyState(VK_LBUTTON);

Yes but the problem is that i don t know when the key is down or up, so when i push a button it stay pushed until i push again the mouse button.
If it was possible to put VK_LBUTTONDOWN it''ll be great but ...

You can test the bits in the value returned by GetAsyncKeyState() to see whether the key/button is pressed or released. IIRC the most significant bit gives the pressed-status of the key, so:

#define KEY_PRESSED(key) ((GetAsyncKeyState(key) & 0x8000) == 0x8000) #define KEY_RELEASED(key) ((GetAsyncKeyState(key) & 0x8000) == 0)

(If it doesn't work, check the docs to see which bit it should be)
