>Has anyone figured out how to customize or set up the presenter buttons
the
way you can the mouse buttons?
For anyone searching on this issue... or for you Bart if you are a
programmer... I did some testing and the 8000 mouse is sending out
WM_APPCOMMAND window messages. This is what "multimedia keyboards" use for
those extra keys, I think. So it's *not* a nefarious plot against Open
Office
users... and it is possible to make an application work with the mouse or
for
a event hook to be written. I'm stopping here for the moment. I really
need
it for Open Office so I'll probably pick this back up. AWESOME mouse if
you
give a lot of presentations. MCT here.
Next I'll probably search for an application that lets you map the keys on
a
multimedia keyboard for the active window (currently running application)
to
regular keystrokes (e.g. converts WM_APPCOMMAND -> WM_KEY) or maybe write
one
myself. Open Office (and other applications) really should sup****t these
messages so maybe I'll look at that code. One day. :)
Not sure that helps you but it might help somebody.
