You'd need to write some kind of mouse driver.
Unfortunatly , i can't do that ( don't know how )
If you had a mouse driver that took input from a network socket, then you could use Pd to process everything and send the control data to that network socket.
Do you know where can i find such a driver ? , or where should i search
If you just wanted to control the mouse when using Pd, then you could do everything in Pd.
Great , that 'll be a good start for me , but i can not use any entry
from [gemmouse] .
On a side note, in order to use the polhemus in Pd, you could use [linuxevent] as long as the Linux drivers provide an event system interface (/dev/input/event2 for example).
Do [linuxevent] could work under winXP ? ...( sorry :)
Thanks again 3o3

HI , matthew jones wrote: did you mean is there some way of writing into the keyboard/mouse buffer to SIMULATE inputs that could be used to control applications OTHER than pd? That's it . I'm working with handicaped people and most of them can not use their hand or clic to manipulate softwares .We have some tracking devices ( midi ,polhemus , webcam ,.. ) that we want to use to drive other software . as far as I know this is not possible so far (but I may be very wrong); simulating mouse input makes no sense though, as it is unclear what it would do with any real mouse input. So , ...I ' m not a dev , and don't know pd so mutch , but do you think it ' ll be complex to write such object ? My only other solution is to midi control out a device that i plug onto a real mouse wheel ...°-( Heavy ! if you just want to be able to use these inputs (mouse and keyboard) to control pd patches then that is straightforward and Hans has already listed a few such objects.
