Two button mouse via XP?

Is it possible to attach a two-button (or more!) windows compatible mouse to a macbook pro for use in XP through boot camp? As a gamer it would certainly come in handy!

Yes, XP and OS X will both pick up USB mice and use them as normal.

I use a two button mouse with my Mac Book Pro. It works fine, but after installing Lion, the mouse wheel goes in reverse of what it did (rolling the wheel towards your palm goes up not down the page). Anyone know how to fix this?

First sentence in OPs question:

I guess the track pad settings would look similar to my screen shot?

Regular Two Button Mouse, Corded

I need help with choosing a mouse that is two button, non Apple, with Scroll Wheel. If the mouse does not need drivers or does not crash OS X or make it slow with drivers installed. If a particular update breaks the mouse or it does not work with Tiger, please post it here.
Thank You

In the end you'll need to figure out what mouse will work best for you, but I can make a personal suggestion. As long as you're right handed, I'd recommend a Logitech Multi-Button mouse. I have the MX 510 and I personally love it. It's fairly well supported right out of the box, although for optimum use you'd need to install the drivers. I personally disliked the Logitech drivers (and uninstalled them), but I am a big fan of USB Overdrive which is a third party mouse driver that works flawlessly. As far as the MX 510 goes, it's not very compact (read: meant for desktop use), but it's great for gaming and any type of precision work. I've had mine for over a year with no problem and they have a good warranty if anything did go wrong. Best of all though, it's pretty cheap right now.

Hope this helps some. You might want to look at some full length reviews of whatever mouse you decide to go with before you buy it.

2 button mouse for MAC

I'm authoring a project on a PC but also need a MAC version.
There are some functions that require a right mouse click. They
work fine on the PC but can't get them to work on the MAC. I have
emulateMultiButtonMouse = TRUE. I have a two button mouse on my
MAC. Right clicking does not work and Control clicking does not
work. Any ideas?

Have you set;
the emulateMultiButtonMouse = TRUE
or;
emulateMultiButtonMouse = TRUE
If it isn't preceded by 'the' then it's just another
variable. In MX2004 you could also use;
_player.emulateMultiButtonMouse = TRUE

How to move node in treeView using two buttons ?

Hello ,
Am starter , and am working on a Winforms application.
I browse an XML file , then I populate treeview in my interface. I want to move selected node in the two sens ( up and down) using two button ( so not with events , normal drag and drop with mouse ) .
- I select the nod
- I click on the up button , then the node take the new place ( something like , drop and insert maybe )
I don't know if is possible to affect this events to button or they are another way to do this
this is my code concerning populating treeView :
private void browseSourceFileBtn_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
var openSourceFile = openSourceFileDialog.ShowDialog();
if (openSourceFile == DialogResult.OK)
fichierSourcePath.Text = openSourceFileDialog.FileName;
// Connect the XML FILE DATABASE to the application interface
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
if (openSourceFileDialog.FileName == String.Empty)
MessageBox.Show("u should open a file", "Erreur de chargement", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error);
else
try
MessageBox.Show("plz wait ");
statusLabel.Text = "Début de chargement du fichier";
var doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.Load(openSourceFileDialog.FileName);
sourceTreeView.Nodes.Clear();
var rootNode = new TreeNode(doc.DocumentElement.Name);
sourceTreeView.Nodes.Add(rootNode);
sourceTreeView.CheckBoxes = true;
sourceTreeView.AllowDrop = true;
DateTime starteTime = DateTime.Now;
BuildNode(doc.DocumentElement, rootNode);
DateTime endTime = DateTime.Now;
TimeSpan duree = endTime - starteTime;
sourceTreeView.ExpandAll();
sourceTreeView.Nodes[0].EnsureVisible();
string chargementTemps = "" + duree.Minutes + "min : " + duree.Seconds + "s : " + duree.Milliseconds + "ms";
statusLabel.Text = "Chargement effectué avec succés en :" + chargementTemps;
catch (Exception)
sourceTreeView.Nodes.Clear();
statusLabel.Text = "Echec de chargement";
thanks u a lot

Hi Nico68er,
According to your description, you'd like to move up or down the node in TreeView.
By reseraching, I found this post in StackOverFlow is similar with your issue.http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2203975/move-node-in-tree-up-or-down
From this answer.
You can use the following extensions
public static class Extensions
public static void MoveUp(this TreeNode node)
TreeNode parent = node.Parent;
TreeView view = node.TreeView;
if (parent != null)
int index = parent.Nodes.IndexOf(node);
if (index > 0)
parent.Nodes.RemoveAt(index);
parent.Nodes.Insert(index - 1, node);
else if (node.TreeView.Nodes.Contains(node)) //root node
int index = view.Nodes.IndexOf(node);
if (index > 0)
view.Nodes.RemoveAt(index);
view.Nodes.Insert(index - 1, node);
public static void MoveDown(this TreeNode node)
TreeNode parent = node.Parent;
TreeView view = node.TreeView;
if (parent != null)
int index = parent.Nodes.IndexOf(node);
if (index < parent.Nodes.Count -1)
parent.Nodes.RemoveAt(index);
parent.Nodes.Insert(index + 1, node);
else if (view != null && view.Nodes.Contains(node)) //root node
int index = view.Nodes.IndexOf(node);
if (index < view.Nodes.Count - 1)
view.Nodes.RemoveAt(index);
view.Nodes.Insert(index + 1, node);
Child nodes will follow their parents.
You could use this class in your program.
If you want to move the node up. Call the Extensions.MoveUp(this.treeView1.SelectNode)
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
if (this.treeView1.SelectedNode != null)
Extensions.MoveUp(this.treeView1.SelectedNode);
If you have any other concern regarding this issue, please feel free to let me know.

Problem in Adding two buttons under same column header (in JTable)

Hi,
I have a JTable and to a particular column i want to add two buttons.
Here the two buttons should be under the same column header and i need to add listners to these.
Any idea how to do this?
Thanks & regards
Neel

Of course as your header is drawn by a renderer, the buttons don't actually work, but you can listen for mouse clicks within the area of the header and see which button the mouse position was over.
See the Java Table Sorter Demo code for how to add a mouse listener to the header...
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/example-1dot4/index.html#TableSorterDemo
....and from there you should be able to determine where in the component the click occured by using the getX() and getY() methods of the MouseEvent to determine which button in the renderer component was clicked. Use something like Rectangle.contains() to match the click location against the buttons.

Mouse reduced to a three button mouse when unpluged/repluged

It's me and my mouse again.
This time the problem is that the scroll and side buttons stops working when I unplug and erplug the mouse back in again. It's a Logitech MX518 mouse.
My MX518 use /dev/input/event4.
# cat /proc/bus/input/devices
I: Bus=0003 Vendor=046d Product=c01e Version=2200
N: Name="Logitech USB-PS/2 Optical Mouse"
P: Phys=usb-0000:00:1d.1-2/input0
S: Sysfs=/class/input/input4
H: Handlers=mouse2 event4
B: EV=7
B: KEY=ff0000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
B: REL=103
This is a part of my /etc/X11/xorg,conf
Section "Inputdevice"
# Logitech MX 510/518
Identifier "EvdevMouse"
Driver "evdev"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/event4"

Identifier "Laptop"
Screen "Laptop single"
Inputdevice "EvdevMouse" "CorePointer" # Mouse
InputDevice "Mouse2" "SendCoreEvents" # Touchpad
InputDevice "Keyboard1" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection
When I unplug my mouse, the /dev/input/event4 is removed. When I replug my mouse back in again, a new event is created named /dev/input/event5. And my mouse is suddently reduced to a three button mouse. To fix this, I have to kill X, unplug/replug my mouse, and start X again.
This is after unplug/replug the mouse without restarting X

Have tried to create a udev rule, without any luck.
ACTION=="add",
KERNEL=="event*",
SUBSYSTEM=="input",
SYSFS(manufacturer)=="Logitech",
SYSFS(product)=="USB Receiver",
NAME="input/mx518"
Does anyone have an idea that can be done to fix this.
Orjanp

I'm using udev to create links for my Logitech MX700 Duo (Logitech Elite keyboard + MX700 mouse).
Here are my udev rules:
# Laptop keyboard
BUS=="serio", SYSFS{description}=="i8042 Kbd Port", SYMLINK+="input/clavier"
# Alps TouchPad
# GlidePoint
BUS=="serio", SYSFS{description}=="i8042 Aux Port", KERNEL=="event?", SYMLINK+="input/touchpad"
# StickPointer
SUBSYSTEM=="input", SYSFS{dev}=="13:32", SYMLINK+="input/stick"
# MX700 Duo
# Keyboard
BUS=="usb", SYSFS{bInterfaceNumber}=="00", SYSFS{bInterfaceProtocol}=="01", NAME="input/%k", SYMLINK+="input/mx700duo_clavier"
# Mouse
BUS=="usb", SYSFS{bInterfaceNumber}=="01", SYSFS{bInterfaceProtocol}=="02", NAME="input/%k", SYMLINK+="input/mx700duo_souris"
The bInterfaceNumber/Protocol are the only thing that can differcienciate the two (same wireless receiver...).
Hope you will be able to adapt it to your kb/mouse.
I've never been able to make work 100% of it. Since the symlinks disapear if I unplug the usb mouse/kb, I can't unplug and replug them if Xorg is running...

If the last line is uncommented, X doesn't work... I really don't know why. And now that Xorg 7 is installed, my mouse is 32 buttons!!!! This is a nightmare...

Why won't Apple design it's laptops with two buttons?

For the past couple of years Apple has been heavily promoting their "Hello I'm a Mac, and I'm a PC" commercials to get Windows users to switch to Macs. I’m a Windows user and have been considering switching to a Mac Book Pro, but one thing that really bugs me is the lack of a right click button on the laptops. Yeah, Yeah, I know you can hold down the single button or ctrl-click, but neither one of these options is as fast or convenient as having a right click button. Why is Apple so stubbornly sticking with a single button mouse and track pad?
For goodness sake two buttons are better than one!

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

Setup multi button mouse

I have a nobutech bd-ms 140 external mouse that has 5 buttons. Anyway to set the buttons up through Snow Lep setup.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
Does your Mac recognize it? (Menubar, System Preferences, Hardware, Mouse)
If it recognizes it as a generic USB two-button or three-button mouse, that's probably all you're going to get.
Unlikely that it has an OS X driver, since it is listed on the manufacturer's website, www.nobutech.com as a Windows USB plug-n-play mouse. No mention of OS X on the spec sheet here: http://www.nobutech.com/products/BD-MS140/specs.pdf

I have the same problem on my iPhone4. It is obviously a bug in the software. Once it pops out I am locked out of my phone. I can't even begin to describe the frustration this causes. All that stuff about holding down the buttons is useless. the phone won't even shut off. I can take a screen shot like that or go to voice control. Even when I got to a wifi connection, I can't get on. This app blocks everything else. This is a serious bug and can have serious consequences. The only thing my phone would do is go to voice control and let me play iTunes or phone people. Some smart phone hey?
I have finally got to a place with a wide enough wifi to connect my computer and restore the phone. This has lasted over a day!
I don't even know why Find My Friends is on my phone. Is it part of the package and how do I turn it off?

Is it possible to use a single iPhone with two contact numbers via dual sim or an app?

Is it possible to use a single iPhone with two contact numbers via dual sim or an app?
This would be a useful feature for personal and company numbers but using one mobile, rather than carrying two devices or diverting calls.

Then go ahead and try it. You'll find it's probably a load of crap.
You want 2 numbers, then use Google Voice or TalkaTone
Those are US based only Apps or numbers so no good. I won't be wasting money by just trying something either, especially because using a dual sim would mean purchasing another sim card on either pay as you go or monthly contact.

Show indices of Last TWO buttons pressed in a boolean array (how to?)

How would you go about showing the indices of the last TWO buttons pressed in an array of buttons, and only after TWO buttons have been pressed? I know how to show the LAST button pressed, and I know how to flag the event of two buttons being pressed (using the modulus), but I can't readily see how to show the indices of the last TWO.
For example, in an array of 24 buttons, someone presses buttons 2 and 7... an indicator says 2 & 7. Those buttons remain pressed. Now the user presses buttons 14 and 3, the same indicator now reads 14 & 3.
The indicator can be text, an int array, two ints, whatever. Any ideas?
Message Edited by LV_Addict on 07-28-2008 01:29 PM

Thanks Ben.
To get the LAST button pressed, I just XOR the array and look for the True, as shown. No biggie.
Yep, I know about the ability to expand the left side S/R to get a histogram, and have used that in the past. It doesn't seem to do anything for me here!
