Multiple mice
« on: May 12, 2010, 12:03:34 PM »
i'm in a situation where I have multiple mice connected, but when my program runs I want only one mouse to be active and the inputs from remaining mice ignored. can something like this be achieved?

Using RawInput directly you could do this. There is a lib which exists solely for this reason (multimouse? multimice? or rawmouse.. something like that).

This is such and uncommon setup to have on a PC, OIS has no support for this.

Hi,

I read OIS uses directInput and this will not be supported from directX10,

so my question is if OIS will be updated to use Raw Input or XInput API for example ?

this would maybe allow the usage of two mouse devices which I need for my application ..
There are alternatives for OIS to do that but it would be better if everyone could use OIS for this!
