Hello All Just a question I thought I would throw out to the collective wisdom of the net. I am writing a program (in assembler) that uses the mouse, I set my own user defined mouse handler and ask it to send me notification of button down presses for the right mouse button. Heres the problem: With a microsoft mouse I don't ever get any notification about presses on the right button (left button no problem). With a $25 no-name clone mouse in microsoft mode both buttons work fine. The MS mouse will change its primary button between left and right just fine when the cpanel setup program is used. So my question is - is there some trick I am missing here? some undocumented "feature" needed to make true microsoft mice report their right button status. Or have I just got a dud mouse/driver. It is a genuine microsoft one - sez so right on it. All help gratefully appreciated Dale Edgar Cybernetic Control Inc. DEDGAR@MTA.CA
