CBL_INIT_MOUSE

Initializes mouse support. This routine must be called before other mouse routines can be called.

Note: This routine is supported for native COBOL only.

Syntax:

call "CBL_INIT_MOUSE" using     mouse-handle
                                mouse-buttons
                      returning status-code

Parameters:

  Using call prototype (see Key) Picture
mouse-handle cblt-x4-compx pic x(4) comp-x.
mouse-buttons cblt-x2-compx pic x(2) comp-x.
status-code See Library Routines - Key

On Entry:

None.

On Exit:

mouse-handle Mouse identifier. You pass this to any mouse routines you call subsequently.
mouse-buttons The number of buttons on the mouse.

Comments:

If status-code (or RETURN-CODE) contains a nonzero status on return from this routine, mouse handling is not available and calls to any of the mouse routines should not be made.

The CBL_ mouse routines do not work with the x"AF" mouse routines.
