If I understand your question correctly, and if your program is writing to the standard output (the console window) and you are running on Windows:

You can turn on 'quick edit' in the console window by editing the cmd.exe window properties.

Open a command prompt (start | run | cmd.exe) Click the upper left corner of the window and choose 'Defaults'. Click the Options tab and then in Edit Options section make sure the QuickEdit Mode box is checked. Click OK and you should be set.

If you click with the mouse inside the console window when quick edit is enabled, it will block the program from continuing while it is waiting to be able to write the next message to the output. If you then hit 'esc', the program will continue.

It's a useful shortcut for pausing a running console program that I use all of the time.

try cin.get()

There isn't any easy way to do that. You'd need to create a wrapper to run the program (for example, a debugger is a wrapper to a program), and this wrapper would have to have mouse functions programmed into it.

Without use of the mouse, use cin.get();. It will take an input from the keyboard before continuing.

I'm not sure about using the mouse to pause, but you can pause the execution of command line process by pressing the Pause / Break key or Ctrl + NumLock .

You can then resume the execution with Ctrl + Z
