I need to clear any mouse clicks which has happened before the end of an animation.Only mouse clicks afterwards have to be considered.
I tried enabling my mouse function after the animation,but any clicks that happened during the animation was considered.
To my understanding there is a buffer where mouseclicks are stored and during any mouse callback , it takes the co-ordinates and any other info of the first click stored in that buffer.so i need to know how to clear this.
I used fflush(stdin) but it doesnt clear keyboard or the mouse buffer.
Am using windowsxp and programming in visualsudio2008 in c language.i also use glut.h

    Then you can’t. If you’re doing an animation, it’s up to you to process (or choose not to process) any messages.

    You should not be animating something by looping within your display method. Instead, you should set up a timer callback or something that will call glutPostRedisplay that will constantly call your drawing method. During this time, you should ignore any messages if you don’t want to process them.
