The problem was I had MouseButton, not mouseButton.

Thanks for your help!

Sorry,
using the

menuEvent.MouseButtonEvent.x

version, it throws an error (in codeBlocks):
error: invalid use of 'struct sf::Event::MouseButtonEvent'

This is during compilation.

Thankyou, and Yes, it was just an extract, here is the actual code:

sf::Event menuEvent;
while(true) {
        while(window.pollEvent(menuEvent)) {
                if(menuEvent.type == sf::Event::MouseButtonPressed) {
                        return HandleClick(menuEvent.MouseButtonEvent.x, menuEvent.MouseButtonEvent.y);
                }
        }
}

Where HandleClick is a function which takes two ints, and returns another value.
The thing is, the current code does not work, I'm not sure why.

I also tried doing:

return HandleClick(menuEvent.MouseButtonEvent.x, menuEvent.MouseButtonEvent.y);

but to no avail.

Window / SFML 2.0 mouse position

« on: July 25, 2012, 11:46:55 am »

Hey, new to the forums and SFML in general.

Just trying to follow this "http://www.gamefromscratch.com/page/Game-From-Scratch-CPP-Edition.aspx" tutorial and porting it over to SFML 2.0 in the process.  I cannot for the life of me get the mouse position in part 3 to port.

here is the code I am trying to port:

sf::Event menuEvent;
if(menuEvent.type == sf::Event::MouseButtonPressed) {
return sf::Event::MouseButtonEvent.x;
return sf::Event::MouseButtonEvent.y;
}

Just ignore that I returned twice for the sace of the this.

How should I be doing this?  I tried a few variants:

sf::Event menuEvent;
if(menuEvent.type == sf::Event::MouseButtonPressed) {
return menuEvent.MouseButtonEvent.x;
return menuEvent.MouseButtonEvent.y;
}

But this doesn't work.  Any ideas?

And one more quick question, when should I be using '::' or when should I be using '.' a full stop?
