(PHP 4 >= 4.2.0, PHP 5 < 5.3.0, PECL ncurses >= 1.0.0)

ncurses_mousemask — Sets mouse options

### Description

int ncurses_mousemask ( int `$newmask` , int `&$oldmask` )
Warning

This function is EXPERIMENTAL. The behaviour of this function, its name, and surrounding documentation may change without notice in a future release of PHP. This function should be used at your own risk.

Sets mouse events to be reported. By default no mouse events will be reported.

Mouse events are represented by `NCURSES_KEY_MOUSE` in the ncurses_wgetch() input stream. To read the event data and pop the event of queue, call ncurses_getmouse().

### Parameters

`newmask`

  Mouse mask options can be set with the following predefined constants:

  - NCURSES_BUTTON1_PRESSED

  - NCURSES_BUTTON1_RELEASED

  - NCURSES_BUTTON1_CLICKED

  - NCURSES_BUTTON1_DOUBLE_CLICKED

  - NCURSES_BUTTON1_TRIPLE_CLICKED

  - NCURSES_BUTTON2_PRESSED

  - NCURSES_BUTTON2_RELEASED

  - NCURSES_BUTTON2_CLICKED

  - NCURSES_BUTTON2_DOUBLE_CLICKED

  - NCURSES_BUTTON2_TRIPLE_CLICKED

  - NCURSES_BUTTON3_PRESSED

  - NCURSES_BUTTON3_RELEASED

  - NCURSES_BUTTON3_CLICKED

  - NCURSES_BUTTON3_DOUBLE_CLICKED

  - NCURSES_BUTTON3_TRIPLE_CLICKED

  - NCURSES_BUTTON4_PRESSED

  - NCURSES_BUTTON4_RELEASED

  - NCURSES_BUTTON4_CLICKED

  - NCURSES_BUTTON4_DOUBLE_CLICKED

  - NCURSES_BUTTON4_TRIPLE_CLICKED

  - NCURSES_BUTTON_SHIFT>

  - NCURSES_BUTTON_CTRL

  - NCURSES_BUTTON_ALT

  - NCURSES_ALL_MOUSE_EVENTS

  - NCURSES_REPORT_MOUSE_POSITION

  As a side effect, setting a zero mousemask in `newmask` turns off the mouse pointer. Setting a non zero value turns mouse pointer on.

`oldmask`

  This will be set to the previous value of the mouse event mask.

### Return Values

Returns the mask of reportable events. On complete failure, it returns 0.

### Examples

Example #1 ncurses_mousemask() example

`<?php
$newmask = NCURSES_BUTTON1_CLICKED + NCURSES_BUTTON1_RELEASED;
$mask = ncurses_mousemask($newmask, $oldmask);
if ($mask & $newmask){
printf("All specified mouse options will be supported\n");
}
?>`
