| It only seems possible to to use at most three button mice with Blitz3D, does anybody know of any easy ways to use additional mouse buttons in Blitz? |
| ||
| I've not installed mouse drivers for my mouse, so only the first three are functional. However, assuming you do have drivers installed, does MouseHit(4) not return anything? |

| I have my mouse drivers installed and I can't get anything returned above MouseHit(3) |

| Windows only support three buttons and the mousewheel by default. Windows 2000 & XP however also supports something called X buttons. So pressing a 4:th mousebutton should generate a WM_XBUTTON message, just like pressing a "browserkey" on a keyboard would generate a WM_APPCOMMAND message. But I don't know if Blitz handle those messages.

I know DX8 & DX9 has an additional structure called DIMOUSESTATE2 which supports up to 8 buttons, but if DX7 has it or not, I don't know. |
