Mouse.release()

Description

Sends a message that a previously pressed button (invoked through Mouse.press()) is released. Mouse.release() defaults to the left button.

WARNING: When you use the Mouse.release() command, the Arduino 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.release();
Mouse.release(button);

Parameters

button: which mouse button to press - char

MOUSE_LEFT (default)
MOUSE_RIGHT
MOUSE_MIDDLE

Returns

nothing

Example

void setup(){
//The switch that will initiate the Mouse press
pinMode(2,INPUT);
//The switch that will terminate the Mouse press
pinMode(3,INPUT);
//initiate the Mouse library
Mouse.begin();
}

void loop(){
//if the switch attached to pin 2 is closed, press and hold the right mouse button
if(digitalRead(2) == HIGH){
Mouse.press();
}
//if the switch attached to pin 3 is closed, release the right mouse button
if(digitalRead(3) == HIGH){
