To make mouse events visible, use the <STRONG>mousemask</STRONG> function.
This will set the mouse events to be reported. By de-

Whether this happens is device-dependent.

The <STRONG>ungetmouse</STRONG> function behaves analogously to <STRONG>ungetch</STRONG>.

sociates with that event the given state data and screen-
relative character-cell coordinates.

wise. It is useful for determining what subset of the
screen windows enclose the location of a mouse event.

The <STRONG>wmouse_trafo</STRONG> function transforms a given pair of coor-
- dinates from stdscr-relative coordinates to screen-rela-
- tive coordinates or vice versa. Please remember, that
+ dinates from stdscr-relative coordinates to coordinates
+ relative to the given window or vice versa. The resulting
stdscr-relative coordinates are not always identical to
- screen-relative coordinates due to the mechanism to re-
+ window-relative coordinates due to the mechanism to re-
serve lines on top or bottom of the screen for other pur-
- poses (ripoff() call, see also slk_... functions). If
- the parameter <STRONG>to_screen</STRONG> is <STRONG>TRUE</STRONG>, the pointers <STRONG>pY,</STRONG> <STRONG>pX</STRONG> must
- reference the coordinates of a location inside the window
- <STRONG>win</STRONG>. They are converted to screen-relative coordinates
- and returned through the pointers. If the conversion was
- successful, the function returns <STRONG>TRUE</STRONG>. If one of the pa-
- rameters was NULL or the location is not inside the win-
- dow, <STRONG>FALSE</STRONG> is returned. If <STRONG>to_screen</STRONG> is <STRONG>FALSE</STRONG>, the point-
- ers <STRONG>pY,</STRONG> <STRONG>pX</STRONG> must reference screen-relative coordinates.
- They are converted to stdscr-relative coordinates if the
