Getting Going
[Tutorial 2 - User Interaction]

Open the Project

The Examples/Tutorials/Tutorial2 folder contains an MSVC project called tutorial2_win.dsp and a GNU makefile.

• Open the tutorial2_win.dsp project and select a configuration that you wish to build. Choose "Win32 D3D8 Debug" if you are unsure. Build the application. It is identical to the code that you wrote in the first tutorial.

• Run the application and load two cubes by pressing the F1 key twice. You will observe that only one cube appears to be visible. This is because both cubes are loaded at the same position in space. Exit the application by pressing the Escape key.

Handling Mouse Events

In the previous tutorial we saw how the keyboard handler could be established to catch keyboard events. In order to catch mouse events we need to set up a mouse handler.

• Open the win/events.c file, and locate the HandleMouseMove() function. This is called (via the MouseHandler() function) any time that the mouse moves in the application window. Put a breakpoint on this function and debug the application. Confirm that this function gets called when the mouse moves. The other mouse event handling routines will work in an identical manner.
