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
I don't of anything that exists, that was just an idea.
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] .
Try the [MouseState] object from cyclone. You need to have Gem loaded
to use the [gemmouse] object. Both of these should be included in the
Windows installer.
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 :)
Nope, only Linux.

HI ,

did you mean is there some way of writing into the keyboard/mouse

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.Matt

"If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of
exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an
idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps
it to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the
possession of everyone, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of
it."
