Trap a mouse click

I am writing a macro that is working with Autocad as those who are familiar with it there is a challenge in working within 2 windows. I want to be able to recognise when the user clicks their mouse, I have tried working around this using the new image collection tool, but this take a long time and the macro sometimes times out. Is there any wait click functionality I could monitor?

Thanks in anticipation

WaitKeyDown - also detects mouse clicks. E.g.:

WaitKeyDown>VK1

Waits for left mouse click.

Or use OnEvent with an KEY_DOWN event handler.

Mouse VK codes:

VK_LBUTTON (1)
Left mouse button

VK_RBUTTON (2)
Right mouse button

VK_CANCEL (3)
Control-break processing
