Hello,
at first I would like to mark that I'm new to mac development...
Welcome to the Mac community!
I'm going to write a program which will use two mice as movement
detectors and will leave the third one for normal GUI/system use.
I'm looking for a tutorial about developing usb mouse driver for
mac... or any other kind of usefull information.
It isn't clear why you need to write a mouse driver. It sounds like
you will be using standard mouse hardware, but just need to have
high-level software seize two of the mice for non-cursor activities.
If so, you should use the HID family to have your app directly access
the two movement-detector mice. If you open them in Seize mode, they
will no longer be used to control the cursor. For more information on
this, go to developer.apple.com and search for
"kIOHIDOptionsTypeSeizeDevice" - that should get you started.
I'm using Mac OS X 10.3.8.
The kIOHIDOptionsTypeSeizeDevice option was added quite a wile ago, so
this should work fine on 10.3.8
Thank you,
Wiktor Latanowicz
If I've misunderstood what you are trying to do, please post more
details and perhaps we'll be able to help.
Cheers,
