Identify multiple mice and trigger events

[sgli]

Hello there,

I'm fairly inexpierent in programing since i work in another IT-field. Maybe you can help me with this problem.


I have between 4-6 usb mices. All are connected to the same PC. I'd like to trigger different events, depending on wich mouse i'm moving.

for example:

mouse 1 is moving trigger event 1
mouse 2 is moving trigger event 2

... and so on.

I've done some research and found some examples using WM_INPUT. Now before i waste to much time, am I on the right track?

It seems like there aren't many people in my situation. Do you recomet a speific way to solve this problem?

Thank you for your time
