Need help to make the source code in c++ for left/right clicking on particular text and shape..

sdl, sfml, allegro(i think), ncurses, pdcurses. take your pick

Once you learn either of those, it's simple. Just check if the mouse is inside it.

struct Box
{
    int x, y;
    unsigned int w, h;
}

bool mouseC(int x, int y, Box box)
{
    if((x > box.x) && x < (box.x + box.w) && (y > box.y) && (y < box.y + box.h))
    {
        return true;
    }
    return false;
}

(For SDL you can just use the SDL_Rect.)
(Each lib has different functions for getting mouse x and mouse y)

// SDL (All I know)
int x;
int y;

SDL_GetMouseState(&x, &y);
//(x and y should now equal mouse position)

want to make mouse click on particular text or shape...not on positions..

[firedraco]

Get the mouse position when they click and check to see if it on the shape or text yourself.

@firedraco : what if i don't know the position of text or shape?

can anyone tell me of any good ebook which can help me for this?

[Zhuge]

If you don't know where the shape is, how do you expect to figure out whether something is inside it?

I just explained how to click on a flipping rectangle.

You can make any shape from rectangles on PCs. (Pixels are squares)

what if i don't know the position of text or shape?

i are you asking if the text of shape is outside of your program?

[N36fSL3A]

what if i don't know the position of text or shape?

Your program will always know the position of text or shape. What you're saying makes no sense. Explain.

If you're trying to make something like an IRC bot then you're thinking about this problem wrong. Everything on a website is text, the fact that you even see a button is only due to the text being interpreted by your browser. Look up how to write an IRC bot, it's not exactly what you want but the concepts should be similar.
