Question about programing.


Question about programing.

Postby Blade Runner » Aug 8, 2005 @ 7:40pm

I have an MX518 (I bought it last week, cool mouse).
And I wanted a button to be a turbo left click. But the drivers can't do this, and they are not open-source. But I thought that maybe I can for example make the button do a ALT+CTRL+NUM5 and a system tray program could detect this and do the turbo click itself...
Would this work?
No, I've never seen that, I've never seen anyone drive their garbage out to the curb and bang the hell out of it with a stick. No, I've never seen that.

You'd have to have a listener for the keypress which resides in the background, then on the event sends an API command to execute a turbo click.

And, of course, you'd have to make sure your keypress wasn't going to be used by any other program.
