2 USB Mice?

| Hey, Anyone know how to read the input from 2 USB mice in Blitz3D? Some example code would be appreciated! Just had a bit of an idea which would need two completely free-form controllers, so I need to try it out! Thanks in advance! |

| Oh, and I'd need to know how to use both scroll-wheels too! :) |

| Don't think that's gonna be possible mate, afaik plugging in two mice doesn't give you two mouse cursors, they just share control over the same cursor. For example if you move both mice in the opposite direction, the mouse cursor should stay perfectly still. It be a Windows issue, nothing to do with Blitz i'm afraid. |

| Jams is right. |
| ||
| Yeah, I gathered it wouldn't work in Windows, but there is no way to read the input seperately, based on the fact that they're in different ports? |
| ||
| Sooo... apparently, using "Direct Input" (in DX) it's possible to ennumerate the mice plugged into a PC, then use them as you wish. Anyone have any idea how I could do this in Blitz? Ta! :) |

| No way to do this with blitz... DirectX doesn't support multiple mice. Only way is RAW input... Only way to do this in blitz is if someone would make a wrapper dll for something like mame.... http://urebelscum.speedhost.com/feature.html |
