Dear folks, may I ask you again for your help - I got some trouble with the GameInput Manager...
This is the surrounding I work with: - Win XP Prof 2 PC using RB 2006 Release 2 / 3 Professional - a standard PS 2 mouse - a standard PS 2 keyboard - and a Interlink Electronics RemotePoint Navigator (such a tiny wireless USB Presenter device which could be used to control PowerPoint presentations, really neat device). This is a detail on the RemotePoint Navigator: It hooks up using USB and registers as a Keyboard and a Mouse HID interface. I would like to access especially the RemotePoint Navigator to find out the buttons are pressed. If you press a button on it it does not act as a mouse but as a keyboard - so pressing a button on the Navigator is the same as pressing i.e. "b" on the keyboard. I would like to read the Navigator "key-presses" directly to avoid getting trouble with popupMenu or editfield controls if I use the window1.keydown event. So - here are my two questions: A) I've read in another thread that somebody stated that if you have 2 keyboards attached to your PC then you should see two keyboard devices in the list. This does not work on my side, I only get one keyboard and one mouse when looking at the list. Could someone comment on this? I'd like to avoid getting keypress events from the keyboard and only reacting on keypress events from the Navigator. B) When figuring out the GameInput Manager with the GameInput.rb example or the newer ones (the one which uses a 100 ms timer to look at gameinputelement.value) I get clean 128 values when pressing a "b" on the keyboard, but when pressing the navigator button which sends a "b" I get mostly a zero value and only sometimes a 128 value; if I turn down the time on the timer to 10 or 1 ms then I receive events on the navigator but when pressing "b" on the keyboards I get hundrets of event calls... Is there a clean and smooth way to find out if the "b" event came once from the keyboard or once from the navigator ? could someone give me a small example if somebody knows a way ? I would really appreciate your help.
