How can I read a mouse click on some character that is printed? (I can get its position in a COORD)...

Question

I have an Airline Reservation Program.

Now, to book the seats, one must enter them as strings in my current implementation like 1A, 4G and they will be marked automatically in real time and shown to the user in red color.

Now I wished to know if there is a way I can remove the input part from keyboard and just allow the user to click on a seat and it gets selected?

How can I achieve this? Please help as I have no idea about mouse inputs...
(I am a beginner in such matters)

Thank You in advance!
