win32 api GetConsoleCursorInfo()
Don't PM me with questions -- you might get a nasty PM in response. If you have a question then post it in one of the forums.
I don't know about .NET, but the Win32 functions are all listed here: Console Functions (MSDN).
You will need to enable mouse input with SetConsoleMode.
You can read it using ReadConsoleInput.
Use GetStdHandle to get a windows handle for the console input.
Use GetNumberOfConsoleInputEvents to poll for any console input, or use the console input handle with one of the wait functions.
Hope this helps.
[EDIT] Alas, AD, the cursor info is for the little blinking square or underline in the output console display.

Here are some example console programs. I have not used to code for a few years, but since its win32 api functions I suppose the programs will work with modern compilers.

The cost of MSDN is way more than a hobby programmer can justify

MSDN is FREE for god's sake. www.microsoft.com But I suspect you are talking about the subscriptions which have huge annual fees.
