All crucial stuff for running a business, impressive that you are still able to code profiiciently ;-) > The overall goal is to create a custom dragger in the form of a > thumbwheel that will sit in the edges of the viewer and control the > navigation of the camera.

If you know anyone who has done any thumb-wheel similar > things, let me know. A thumbwheel like the ones that Inventor has on the window frame, but moved to into the 3D window? Personally I'd tackle such a feature via a custon Node+callbacks rather than trying to leverage osgManipulator's existing features. A thumbwheel should be relatively straight forward as you only have one axis to rotate the wheel around. The very specific type of interaction would probably mean that one could avoid using any mouse picking and just take the create an event callback that takes mouse coordinates directly and map them into non dimensional coordinates of the HUD Camera's viewport and then use this to drive the rotation by it horizontal or vertical. As you planning to control the viewer's Camera then one would either have the event callback push the rotation back to the main Camera/CameraManipulator or in the main loop pull any rotations on each new frame.
