disable quick edit mode for console from c++

问题

I am trying to disable the quick edit mode of my console by my c++ program because in my application i don't want any selection. I also do not want any pause, as when someone clicks with this mode on it pauses the game. I have looked online and some documentation but i don't know what i have been doing wrong. I first tried below code from another question on stack overflow it didn't work.

#include<conio.h>
#include<iostream>
#include<windows.h>
using namespace std;


int main(){
    HANDLE hInput;
    DWORD prev_mode;
    GetConsoleMode(hInput, &prev_mode); 
    SetConsoleMode(hInput, prev_mode & ~ENABLE_QUICK_EDIT_MODE);

    cout<<"The quick edit mode stopped now press any key to re enable it"<<endl;
    _getch();
    SetConsoleMode(hInput, prev_mode);
    cout<<"Quick edit mode reenabled click any key to exit";
    _getch();
    return 0;
}

then i looked up this documentation and their i found something like this for SetConsoleMode.

This flag enables the user to use the mouse to select and edit text.

To enable this mode, use ENABLE_QUICK_EDIT_MODE | ENABLE_EXTENDED_FLAGS. To disable this mode, use ENABLE_EXTENDED_FLAGS without this flag.

Then i replaced ~ENABLE_QUICK_EDIT_MODE with ENABLE_EXTENDED_FLAGS and same result again i want to know what i am doing wrong. I want to disable quick edit mode.

回答1:

There is a very silly mistake in the code. The problem with the code is that hInput HANDLE wasn't initialized with STD_INPUT_HANDLE and therefore the method SetConsoleMode wasn't working. The working code is as below.

#include<conio.h>
#include<iostream>
#include<windows.h>
using namespace std;


int main(){
    HANDLE hInput;
    DWORD prev_mode;
    hInput = GetStdHandle(STD_INPUT_HANDLE);
    GetConsoleMode(hInput, &prev_mode); 
    SetConsoleMode(hInput, prev_mode & ENABLE_EXTENDED_FLAGS);
    cout<<"The quick edit mode stopped now press any key to re enable it"<<endl;
    _getch();
    SetConsoleMode(hInput, prev_mode);
    cout<<"Quick edit mode reenabled click any key to exit";
    _getch();
    return 0;
}
