hi! i was using XMBC previously with my microsoft mouse and it was doing good. i recently changed it with a logitech mouse and i noticed a situation.
Tilt wheel buttons always repeats, even though i don't select the option in keystrokes option.
(for example; when you press and hold capslock key on your keyboard, it turns on capslock LED on for only once. but when i map tilt wheel button to it, it keeps flasing.
also, when you middle click and hold a link in firefox, it waits you to release the button then opens one single new tab. but when i map tilt wheel to middle click, it opens 100s of new tabs.) (ofcouse these were not my real intention to use this software, they are just examples)
i tried some previous versions and nothing changed. (i'm using vista 32bit, sp1.)
this once was a must-have app for me, but now highly usuless due to this. if any help if possible it will be greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance.

Re: Tilt Wheel Repeating? [Logitech Cordless]
This makes sense.
The tilt wheel is detected by looking for the Mouse HScroll (WM_HSCROLLWHEEL) message. This message does NOT provide an up/down notification, just a single shot "it happened".
This message is repeated by the mouse driver.
That is why your action repeats.
Maybe its a Logitech only issue - I don't have a MS tilt mouse to test with but certainly, what you describe is what I would expect from my logitech mouse.
Don't think I can do anything about this because the real problem is at a layer below XMBC, either in Windows or the mouse driver itself.
Thanks,
Phil

Re: Tilt Wheel Repeating? [Logitech Cordless]
thank you for the reply.
with SetPoint, the software from Logitech, i was able to set it without repeat. but there's no application profile, therefore i need to change the mapping everytime i run a different game/program.
now, i found a modification for SetPoint which enables application-based button mapping. it's called überOptions. and now, i'm using it. even though the interface is not as good as XMBC, it does what it's supposed to do.
anyway, i will still keep an eye on future versions of XMBC. if things are happen to change, (although you say that's hard to happen), i will definetly switch back to XMBC.
thanks for the reply again.
and keep up the good work.
