The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Using multiple mouse separately

Asked by PIBM in Windows Programming

Tags: mouse, multiple

I want to use at least 2 mouse at the same time (on windows). Those are two logitech optical wheel mouse. I need to have the variation on the X & Y axis of both mouse, separately.

I've tried enumerating the devices with Direct X 8.1 to no avail (well, that's my first try) since I only get one GUID even if I have two mices connected. Moving any of them move the cursor so yes they are both working.

I've included that in the mouse input sample coming with the Direct X 8.1 SDK

std::vector<GUID> aGUID;

BOOL CALLBACK DIEnumProc(LPCDIDEVICEINSTANCE lpddi, LPVOID pvRef)
{
aGUID.push_back(lpddi->guidInstance);
return DIENUM_CONTINUE;
}

in the OnCreateDevice fct after the Direct Input object creation.

aGUID.clear();
g_pDI->EnumDevices(DI8DEVTYPE_MOUSE, DIEnumProc, 0, DIEDFL_ATTACHEDONLY);

{
std::ostringstream os;
std::hex(os);
os << "GUID" << std::endl;

for (int i = 0; i<aGUID.size(); ++i) {
os << aGUID[i].Data1 << " " << aGUID[i].Data2 << " " << aGUID[i].Data3 << std::endl;
}

std::string lReponse = os.str();
MessageBox(NULL, lReponse.c_str(), "TEST", MB_OK);
}

I've also tried DIDEVTYPE_HID but I get no device. (and DIEDFL_ALLDEVICES, INCLUDEHIDDEN ..)

I tried direct x since I though we had access to everything... if that's not the solution feel free to use something else, if it's on windows..

I really need to get that working!
Thank you a lot,
PIBM

2X pts bonus if I get a working answer before Valentine's Day! ;)
