The MouseEvent is a class in the C++ programming language that is used to represent and handle mouse events. One of the methods in the MouseEvent class is the getButton method, which is used to obtain the integer value of the button that was pressed or released.

Example 1: Using the getButton method to detect a left-click event

#include 
#include 

int main()
{
    sf::RenderWindow window(sf::VideoMode(800, 600), "Mouse Event Example");

    while (window.isOpen())
    {
        sf::Event event;
        while (window.pollEvent(event))
        {
            if (event.type == sf::Event::MouseButtonPressed && event.mouseButton.button == sf::Mouse::Left)
            {
                std::cout << "Left mouse button was pressed" << std::endl;
                std::cout << "Button code: " << event.mouseButton.button << std::endl;
            }
            else if (event.type == sf::Event::MouseButtonReleased && event.mouseButton.button == sf::Mouse::Left)
            {
                std::cout << "Left mouse button was released" << std::endl;
                std::cout << "Button code: " << event.mouseButton.button << std::endl;
            }
        }

        window.clear();
        window.display();
    }

    return 0;
}

In this example, the getButton method is used to determine whether the left mouse button was pressed or released. The event structure is first checked to see if the event type is a mouse button press or release, and then the getButton method is called with the event object as its argument to obtain the button code. The package library used in this example is the SFML graphics library.

Example 2: Using the getButton method to create a custom mouse cursor

#include 
#include 

int main()
{
    sf::RenderWindow window(sf::VideoMode(800, 600), "Custom Mouse Cursor Example");

    sf::CircleShape cursor(10);
    cursor.setFillColor(sf::Color::Red);

    while (window.isOpen())
    {
        sf::Vector2i MousePosition = sf::Mouse::getPosition(window);
        cursor.setPosition(static_cast(MousePosition.x), static_cast(MousePosition.y));

        sf::Event event;
        while (window.pollEvent(event))
        {
            if (event.type == sf::Event::Closed)
            {
                window.close();
            }
        }

        int button = sf::Mouse::isButtonPressed(sf::Mouse::Left);
        if (button)
        {
            cursor.setFillColor(sf::Color::Green);
        }
        else
        {
            cursor.setFillColor(sf::Color::Red);
        }

        window.clear();
        window.draw(cursor);
        window.display();
    }

    return 0;
}

In this example, the getButton method is used in conjunction with the isButtonPressed method to create a custom mouse cursor that changes color when the left mouse button is pressed. The package library used in this example is also the SFML graphics library.
