Trouble with mouse in Qbasic

Post by chewyb_13 »

Does any one know how to use a mouse in Qbasic as whenever I try to run a program that has mouse cababilities it comes up with errors and I can't even compile the program into an *.exe file. I have a file called mouse.zip and it was from vsmouse.zip and I have it at http://www.geocities.com/chewyb_13/mouse.zip

Try this include file...

http://piptol.qbasicnews.com/files/newqb.zip

I've never used it but it's on Piptol's site, so it's as good as a sure thing. ;)

It's a replacement for the standard QB.QLB. This one has mouse support built in I guess. :D
Come check out [url=http://www.freebasic.net/forum/index.php]FreeBASIC[/url]. The syntax is based on QuickBasic, but it expands to use pointers, operator overloading, etc... The list goes on and on!

Thanks that may help me and I will try it later as I don't have my Qbasic ready at the momment but I can check it later to see if it will work. Thanks again. The absolute subrouting might help. I have tried the file and it was not working at all, in the text file that came with the file it said there was to be a program in the file to demmonstrate the mouse functions, I tried including the files and I tried to put the *.qlb file as to load on boot up of Qbasic and I tried it using QBX 7.1 can you help me? ???
