It doesn't have to look like a computer mouse. You could touch the screen in a location with your finger. You could use the remote control on your digital TV to achieve it. The logic of a mouse click is a location and an event. Events are something that require handling in pretty much any situation that has a microprocessor, even pressing one of the buttons on my microwave. Now sometimes, often in fact, the area is split into regions such that the click in an area translates to a click on one of an enumerable number of regions (eg pressing a button). There is no standard concept of an event-driven application, as such, in C++. That, perhaps, is the concept the OP was trying to aim at. And that, perhaps, is what might be standardised in such a way that any GUI could be implemented with regards to such. And why, by the way, is there no such thing as C++ scripting language? --- [ comp.std.c++ is moderated. To submit articles, try just posting with ] [ your news-reader.
