Assuming that mouse support is working for your terminal/configuration,
you have to call mousemask() to enable the mouse events.  I'd start by
verifying that the ncurses test program is working as expected.  If
you've compiled ncurses yourself, that's test/ncurses, menu item 'a'.
If you're using something precompiled, the sources from the test directory
can still be configured/compiled against the existing development 
libraries.
