Question

int main() {
CheckMouseButtonStatus();
system("pause");
return 0;
}

Answer 1

And no one was surprised that the task is being solved in console mode and the answer here is more than obvious?

Answer 2

If you are working with WinAPI, then in such cases it is usually worth starting with MSDN . It almost always says why it doesn't work.

The key status returned from this function changes as a thread reads key messages from its message queue. The status does not reflect the interrupt-level state associated with the hardware. Use the GetAsyncKeyState function to retrieve that information.

Answer 3

dig towards RegisterHotKey. here, for example, www.cplusplus.com/forum/windows/47266
