Differentiation between multiple mouses

[Flaccid_Jack 0]

Hello,

Scenario: Two mouses plugged into the same computer. 

Would it be possible for AutoIt to disable and enable one mouse or the other?

Or somehow assign different handles to each of the mouses clicks? (E.G. $hwnd1 = left click for mouse1 and $hwnd2 = left click for mouse2)

 

Thank you for your time

How would multiple input devices even work properly on any Windows application?

I think I have found a way.  Let me test it tomorrow, as I am too tired tonight to continue.  But if you want to invest time to understand your issue I would suggest you read about _WinAPI_EnumRawInputDevices and their related functions _WinAPI_GetRawInputDeviceInfo, _WinAPI_GetRawInputData.

Anyway tomorrow I shall post something interesting...

Ok found some energy (curiosity ?), I tested on 2 different mouses and it works perfect...
