Overview |
The SDG Toolkit simplifies Single Display Groupware development
by providing the following features.
- Automatic detection of all USB and
serial mice and keyboards present in the system
- Event-based interface for detecting mouse movements and button clicks, and
keyboard events
- Display of multiple cursors, one for each mouse
- Individually customizable cursors (loaded from .bmp, .cur
and .ani files), hotspots and
text labels/fonts
- X and Y Coordinates relative to any window
- Movement Restriction to the window
- For table top displays where orientation matters, cursor
text labels can be rotated, and mouse movements can be set relative to the
different sides of the table (see figure above).
Limitations:
- Only works with Windows XP and requires Visual Studio
.NET!
- Cursors are not removed when mice are unplugged
- The keyboard implementation is currently undergoing
reconstruction.
