Try looking for _Microsoft Mouse Programmer's Reference_, published by 
Microsoft Press for $29.95 (ISBN: 1-55615-191-8).  It comes with two disks
that contain MOUSE.LIB, sample menus, and a bunch of sample programs.  It has
a bunch of examples, each with code fragments shown in BASICA, QuickBASIC, C,
and MASM.  Have had very favorable comments on it.  

You might also try looking for some of the programming libraries (shareware or
commercial), since many of them have mouse routines in them.
