## 27.8 Mouse Events

- To handle mouse input in a graphical window, you install a function that is notified when mouse events occur.
- There are several kinds of mouse events:
  - motion
  - dragging (moving while depressing a mouse button)
  - mouse button going down
  - mouse button going up
  - clicking (mouse button going up and down within a short period)
  - double clicking
- You install the mouse handler with the `EVT_MOUSE_EVENTS` macros.
