Can I attach and use more than one navigator on a single machine?

Multiple Device ?

Yes, but this is valid only for Mac. On Windows, Linux and Unix the current driver only support one device.

For windows, you can use WM_INPUT. See this thread.

Unfortunately, using one of the other APIs take the 3DxWare driver out of the picture, so your users will not be able to adjust anything via the 3Dx GUI.

Thanks Jim.

So as I now understand it form your post, if I use WM_INPUT under windows (given that this is a little harder to work with and requires the message pump) I lose the driver/control panel functionality but I can have multiple devices on a single windows machine.

This would be an acceptable solution. Many thanks for the help. :D

Regards,

Jim

Hi Jim,

That's correct.

Good luck.

(Let us know what you are doing with it and how it turned out.)

We have released 3DxWare 10 open beta.

This release includes keyboard, mouse and joystick emulation.

It also includes support for using more than one device at a time.

Please try it out and let us know what you think. There is a new 3DxWare 10 Beta Forum for discussion.
