4-5 Button Mouse

vvvv beta question
1

Hi everyone,

Question: Is there a Node/Possibility to get the Button-Actions of a four or five button-mouse?

Mouse (System Global/Window) only offers LEFT, MIDDLE and RIGHT –Button in Outputpins. How can I read the other Button-Actions?

Any ideas?

hi rizmo

my idea is
try some Windows key remappers
for example that one
http://www.atnsoft.com/downloads/keyremapper_setup.exe
or googling another)

set keyboard keys equal to mouse buttons. and use keyboard node to detect pressing.

i have usual 3button mouse and i changed middle button to F5 key in two minutes now

hope that helps

Maybe its not even necessary to use a keyremapper. Just create a keyboard node and see if it outputs anything when you press one of the non-standard buttons.

Thanx a lot for your ideas!

actually I hadn’t time to test it, so far. But I’ll post my experiences as soon as possible…
