In programming, curly braces (the { and } characters) are used in a variety of ways. In C/C++, they are used to signify the start and end of a series of statements. In the following expression, everything between the { and } are executed if the variable mouseDOWNinText is true.
if (mouseDOWNinText)
{
mouseDOWNinText=0;
CLICK=1;
unHighLightALL();
}
