help appreciated wit command prompt settings

[Kurgusov]

Hi all,

I need some help in disabling quickedit mode which seems to be activated by default when dev-cpp loads up
my pd curses 3.2 project,so that I can use the mouse functions of pd curses.
Mr McBrine tells me....

You have "QuickEdit Mode" enabled in the Properties for your Command Prompt. It's taking control of the mouse.

But I cant find any reference to a quickedit mode anywhere inside or outside of the project.

Im using dev-cpp 4.9.9.2 on windows xp service pack 2.
The project is set up for c++,using the pdcurses 3.2 library which is in a console.

Any chance of help?

QuickEdit mode is not controlled by Dev-C++. Dev-C++ does not have a "Command Prompt". If you wrote a console application, it is your console, created by your application, not Dev-C++. Console options are managed by Windows, not Dev-C++.

Modify it when your program is running (right click->properties on the window title bar; and when prompted, select "Modify shortcut that started this window" and it will be fixed (until you rename your application!).

I am not sure where Windows inherits its default console options from or even if teh defaults can be set, but I am guessing that that is what your problem is.
