[mfg-smartcam] Re: Sticky Icons - Mouse

[Jim Hardin]

Jeff, opening the tolerance of the mouse will solve the problem, there are two registry keys that will adjust it.       HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Mouse         DoubleClickWidth:REG_SZ:10         DoubleClickHeightREG_SZ:10   This used to be in the ini file of Win3.1 I only found about its registry location, recently, and have not had time to play with it.   I ASSUME that the numbers are pixels, and that increasing the value opens the tolerance. Most PCs, Win98 & NT, don't have these keys so they have to be added. I don't know what the values are and AGAIN, ASSUME you have to add the KEY as well as a new NUMBER value to the key.....   Since these are assumptions, I have not tried adding them - too shy! Maybe someone here knows more about it and can confirm or correct me.   I'll post it on a couple of forums and see what results I get.   -----Original Message----- From: Jeff Guse <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: SmartCam <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Friday, May 05, 2000 10:41 PM Subject: Re: [mfg-smartcam] Sticky Icons I had a user on the shop floor running Pmill with this sticky key problem.  It really isn't a Smartcam problem or an NT exclusive problem.  I found out it had to do with how he was driving the mouse.  Apparently in all Windows apps if you click on an icon but release as you are dragging the pointer off the icon, the command will not register.  It gets worse in IE4/5 because if the mouse pointer moves just slightly while right clicking the command will fail.  I think Microsoft needs to add a "motion sensitivity while clicking adjustment" to their drivers.  Until then, make sure the mouse is dead in it's tracks before clicking on an icon.
