I have a customer complaining that, when my Blitz+ program is running and has focus, that his mouse acceleration (this is a Logitec mouse with 'enhanced' drivers) kicks off. When my app closes or loses focus, it comes back.
Anyone had experiences with this? I don't capture or use any sort of mouse functions within the app (outside of standard event handling).
Any assistance GREATLY appreciated!
Have a play with EnableDirectInput command, perhaps it fixes that.
Sergio.
Thank you ... I'll have a go with that ...
Hmmm.. I see no documentation on that ... Got a sample?
If you are using a Logitech mouse, I would guess you are using Logitech's MouseWare.
In which case, you need to bring up the mouse properties, select the "motion" tab and un-tick the check box that says "Disable acceleration in games".
Personally, for most games, I prefer mouse acceleration off. In fact, one thing I noticed with my Dragon Chaser game, mouse acceleration renders it virtually impossible to control. I've been looking for a way of activating/disabling mouse acceleration within a blitz program. I believe the functionality lies within user32.dll via an api call to SystemParametersInfoA. The parameter SPI_SETMOUSE seems to be the focus. But I haven't been able to actually work it out yet. DLL's ain't my strong point.
Still, un-ticking that checkbox should solve your problem.
Thanks for the tip ... I'll pass that on to the customer.
