It seems in the excitement of my holiday I forgot all about this one
I'll try not to do that again!

Well in answer to your first question... What you describe is exactly how it should be working. The layer is only activated while the button assigned to the layer switch is held down. When the button is released, the layer should revert to the previous one. However you need to make sure you don't ha...

Wow, what a good find
Thanks for sharing that link. I'm sure others will find it useful too.

Yes thats what i meant. dwExtraInfo (ULONG_PTR). I know its strange - but thats how that particular mouse worked. As for the extra buttons, if only they all used WM_XBUTTON* and dwData, but only the 4th and 5th work that way. Mice with more than 5 buttons, generally dont send any normal mouse messag...

PCI expansion cars should be OK but I cant be sure as I've never tried them. USB parallel ports seem to be a no go.

See here

Sorry are you asking about the 4th and 5th buttons? They work exactly as the microsoft documentation would suggest. XCMC hooks the windows mouse messages and intercepts them. the 4th and 5th buttons send a WM_XBUTTONDOWN/WM_XBUTTONUP and 1 or 2 in the mouse data indicates left or right (4th or 5th) ...

Brilliant - I'm glad you found the problem, and Im even happier it was not XMBC

Thanks for the info,
Phil

sorry, I cant help on the hardware side. I only ported the driver to x64, I didn't write it and I don't know an awful lot about parallel ports. Maybe someone else here can help, else you might like to try the Logix4U forum (original author). However as to compatibility, InpOutx64 (my port) v1.2.0.0 ...

I guess that is bound to happen when you call the thread "feature request"
Anyway, I'm glad the app selector is what you were looking for!

Thats odd, I've been using scroll under cursor for a long time and I've never noticed a problem with the live preview on any of my 4 windows 7 (pro/ultimate) machines, both x86 and x64, (varying from a 7yr old & slow dell laptop (that still supports aero :o), atom net top, to a faster I5 760). W...

Well that is good news. No need for me to rush and buy the mouse now either

Thanks for the update,
Phil

Is it the laser version - ie this one
or the standard one which isnt too expensive

Thanks,
Phil

I noticed one of the FAQs claims that no more than 5 buttons will ever be supported, is this true for Win7? Yes its true for all versions of windows to date. None of them support mouse messages for buttons > 5, and rely of drivers, so provide more buttons. Thus XMBC, which relies on windows message...

I'm glad you got that going. I really need to put some proper documentation together for some of the more advanced features, I just havn't got enough spare time to spread between that and bug fixing amongst all the other things I have to do during the day! With a bit of luck, one day I might have a ...

Urm, yes you should be able to use layers to accomplish this. Setup layer 2 with the commands you want on 4 and 5 when shift is held, then goto advanced settings, and enable modifier keys. Then on the modifier keys tab, under Activate Layer 2, select shift from the drop down, and leave the box to th...
