Trap an X Mouse Button at System Level?
Many thanks again to Pierre Bellisle for his 2005 posting, Fun with the Start Button....
I adapted it to trap the keyboard's Pause key for application-independent daily automation.
I bought a Microsoft Intellimouse but did not like the drivers, so I uninstalled them. But even without the drivers the mouse can send messages like %WM_XBUTTONUP.
I'd like to trap one or both of the X buttons on a system-wide basis, as a global hot event, before it gets to any application. I tried this:
But that does not seem to work.
Anybody know off hand how I (who have never ventured into the depths of the OS-with-hardware interfaces) might trap an X button at system level? Any feedback will be appreciated.
