Mouse.press()

Description

Sends a button press to a connected computer. A press is the equivalent of clicking and continuously holding the mouse button. A press is cancelled with Mouse.release().

Before using Mouse.press(), you need to start communication with Mouse.begin().

Mouse.press() defaults to a left button press.

WARNING: When you use the Mouse.press() command, the 86Duino takes over your mouse! Make sure you have control before you use the command. A pushbutton to toggle the mouse control state is effective.

Syntax

Mouse.press(button);


Parameters

－MOUSE_LEFT (default)

}

void loop(){
  //if the switch attached to pin 2 is closed, press and hold the right mouse button
  if(digitalRead(2) == HIGH){
    Mouse.press();
  }
