I need a code that enables getting input from the mouse. Also some explanations would be appriciated.
P.s: I'm using graphics mode

Not sure what 'Graphics Mode' means.  But you can get input from the mouse by listening to mouse input messages out of the message loop.

WM_MOUSEMOVE will return a standard message to you.  Loword lparam is x and hiword I believe is y.

WM_LBUTTONDOWN, etc can be used as well.

If the mouse is USB, and most are these days, you can also grab the input out of the RawInput API's.  But they are a little trickier.  You'll need to know the MOUHID codes..
