Question - easy way to enable the mouse outside the directx window? #63

Using your templates, the mouse is not visible outside the directx window. Is there an easy way to enable it?

cpyburn commented 2 years ago

OK I added winuser.h and used showcursor(true) and that worked but the cursor as no interaction outside the window, cant do anything with it.

The default template does not do anything with mouse or mouse messages.

Are you using UWP or PC? DX11 or DX12?

cpyburn commented 2 years ago

PC and DX12, and you're right it doesn't do anything with the mouse. I made the mouse using input and drawing my own mouse with a sprite. But I was wondering how I could enable a mouse in this situation to go outside the console window and do other things?
