Want to stop switch between two application

[Vinodnx]

Hello All
I am new to this group, and seeking your help to space mouse issue. I want to stop the application switching option in the space muse. I want to define one task for all the application, for example Button 1 file explorer. So I want this will remain the same in all the other application. How to disable switching option.

regards

Map the button in every application window, e.g. Button 1 to file explorer. It's tedious, but effective.

There are some cfg files that are loaded at init. If you set <CfgProperties><Grab>Hard</Grab> on one of those, the driver will not switch to any other cfgs, regardless of focus.

For one of them, Desktop.xml, you can use a button to switch between grabbed, and floating with the focus modes (changes that <Grab>).

PM or email for more details. The GUI doesn't help you much with this. You need to do some XML editing. IOW, it's not supported.

All this is unsupported. It may change in the future. It works today.
Now that I covered the disclaimers...

The easiest way to do this is:
1) Start the driver
2) Click on the windows background. The driver will show "Desktop" on the LCD/GUI/OSD/systray icon.
3) Make a change for that cfg with a device button (e.g., Rotation lock), or in the GUI (assign a button).
4) You then have an Explorer_Background.xml in %appdata%\3Dconnexion\3DxWare\Cfg.
5) Edit that file with your favorite editor. We mostly use notepad++ with the XML extension enabled. This allows you to format the file so it is more readable.
6) Add <Grab>Hard</Grab> to the CfgProperties section of this file:

Code: Select all

	<CfgProperties>
		<ID>ID_STR_EXPLORER_BACKGROUND</ID>
		<Name>STR_EXPLORER_BACKGROUND</Name>
		<InheritsFromID>ID_STR_EXPLORER_BACKGROUND</InheritsFromID>
		<Grab>Hard</Grab>
	</CfgProperties>

The driver will now only use this file regardless of kb focus.

You can use 3DxSmartUI (our GUI) to make button assignments that will be used for all applications.

More can be done, but this should accomplish what you asked for.

If you want to override one single button in all apps and still do app switching, that's a different thing. You need to edit XML for that. It's more complicated, but does work.
