<DONE> SpaceNavigator Driver - Mouse Joystick Keyboard

Fred02 · Post by **Fred02** » Wed Feb 14, 2007 12:50 pm

Hi RBC9 ,

i played with your driver for some time now and i'm very happy with it.

On applications which have a user interface and the focus, it works very well!

One thing i didn't find out yet: Is it possible to set the mouse cursor to a certain position (say 100,200) and then click the left mouse button (or something like that)?

What i am missing is a field where i can describe the meaning of the current binding. That would be important because after a week or so, i don't remember what that keystrokes should do.

Another thing, that i am not sure if it was meant as it is implemented:
If i bind to a key, there is a checkbox with the label "Repeat key".
If the box is unchecked, the key repeats with full speed.
I would expect it to not repeat at all (only one single keystroke).
But if this behaviour is intended, how do i achieve a single keystroke?

Best regards
Fred

not really the focused app , driver sends info to OS , he doesnt care about wich one receive and what it does with ..

hot-key on other app works ...

the "repeat" when the check box is not checked , comes from Windows, not from my driver.
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/usin ... trate.mspx

but i should add an option to wait for a "KeyUp" , something like a "infinite" delay.

but i should add this as an option , because in game u need keeping sending key , and it s not interpret as a new press/release ...

Hi Fred02

I have understood that you haven't a docking station.

You should test if the driver runs. Start the Task Manager and sort the Process List by name. The driver is a process called 3dxsrv.exe. If it doesn't run try to start the driver manually.

Afterwards post the result here.

Hi agoenczi,

thanks for the advice, i will test this evening, when i'm at home.

Best regards
Fred

Hi RBC9,

i tried to install your driver on a third PC (a tablet PC) and have major difficulties.

Driver installation works and the SpaceNavigator is recognized in the device manager.

When i make a new binding, movements of the SpaceNavigator are recognized (the respective values change.

But when i try to get an output in an application (the editor for example), nothing happens.

Another item is: If i put the SpaceNavigator on another USB-socket than that where i installed the driver, it is not recognized any more (the blue LEDs don't shine and nothing happens).

I tried to bind the word "test" to an axis but after saving the binding and reentering the tool, "tts" was saved. This is reproduceable. Axis was the z-axis.

On my Desktop-PC all works well, however!

By the way: What is MX1000 Auto? If i click there, your application crashes.

Best regards
Fred

exact, i dont take time to look how to make my inf/driver PNP , so for now , u have to "install" the driver on each usb port u connect the device. (It doesnt create multiple copy , only reference in OS )

Hi RBC9,

i installed the latest version and the MX1000-problem and the "test"-problem are gone.

But very strange:

and in this case , has it 8 axies and 8 buttons ? could u create a simple Joystick bind and check if it move in the game controler preview ?

Made a simple joystick bind and it works in the game controller preview!

But still no keystrokes or mouse-moves in my applications or on the desktop of my tablet (Car-PC).

By the way: on the Car-PC, your driver is the only one for SpaceNavigator an there is no docking station.

Best regards
Fred

Problem solved!!!

I did my tests with the Car-PC via remote desktop (viewed the Car-PC's screen on my desktop) but SpaceNavigator hooked to the Car-PC, of course.

Obviously this was the problem. Viewing the screen of my Car-PC directly shows the keystrokes and mouse movements correctly.

So i'm very happy now!

Thank you for your efforts.

Best regards
Fred
