Writing Mouse Drivers

I've not developed at all for Windows. How does the process go? What programs do you have to download, how much do you have to spend, etc.? The end goal here being, to write mouse drivers.

Hi,
You cannot open a sys file in any text editor or VS. It's a binary executable file.
Moreover, for achieving the above task, you needn't write a device driver. It can be done through application programming on windows.
But, I'm afraid, you need to learn a lot mate. I recommend you learn about windows programming using books or tutorials:

http://www.winprog.org/tutorial/
For achieving this task, you can handle windows mouse/keyboard messages to do your work. Please check the below links:

  • Where can I find Mighty Mouse drivers/prerferences

    Does anyone know where the default settings are located for the Mighty Mouse or the easiest way to restore them?
    I installed Controller Mate and Steermouse for a bit before uninstalling them but now I can't reconfigure my Mighty Mouse. (I want to disable the right click). I'd like to use Time Machine to restore the Mighty Mouse drivers/preferences.
    Please help!

    My mouse system preferences are still there and I can customise most of the Mighty Mouse functions except it won't let me disable the secondary click for some reason i.e. I make the change in preferences but the context menu still appears when I right click.
    I have uninstalled the 3rd party drivers using AppZapper.

  • Mouse drivers on mac side?

    I like how the mouse drivers are in windows, which is why I am buying leopard to get bootcamp. Can you use these same drivers from windows on the mac side with bootcamp installed?
    Another question: Once I have bootcamp installed can I use the partition on parallels or VMware Fusion to open it as a virtual machine if I'm on mac?

    if complaining about Apple here is not allowed (why not?)
    Because, as per the terms of use to which we all agreed, posts that are just complaints are not allowed.
    what is the best way to fix the mouse acceleration problem on Mac OS? I've tried SteerMouse and Usb Overdrive but the mouse still feels weird.
    I have no idea what constitutes "feels weird" so I can't offer any advice. I use USB Overdrive with a trackball and it works fine for me, and also use Apple and third-party mice with the mouse control built into Mac OS X and am also satisfied. So without details as to exactly what you find to be a problem, I can't offer any suggestions. It would seem to be more an issue of personal preference rather than something actually wrong, so perhaps that's why Apple hasn't "paid attention".
    Regards.

  • Razer. mouse drivers advice...

    I would love to get the mouse in the link above
    But i have heard that the drivers cause problems....
    SO please does anyone have any personal exp?
    or and tips etc cause im not convinced.
    thanks

    Well, in fact any 3rd party drivers or other software can cause problems, depending on what else is installed on the system.
    Bear in mind that these forums are analogous to an emergency room for Mac users - a high proportion of people who post have problems, but the actual proportion out in the real world is much lower. For example, RE "logic driver" if you mean Logitech, consider how many mice/trackballs they have out there running on Macs, compared to the posts on these forums.
    But, there's an easy way to avoid trouble - have a solid backup strategy (e.g. weekly SuperDuper syncs to an external drive), and run a backup before installing anything new.

  • Need documentation for writing GPIB drivers for RTOS-32 using Borland C 5.51

    Greetings,
    I need to develop GPIB drivers (using the NI GPIB card) for the RTOS-32 operating system (by On-Time). I am using Borland C 5.51 as the compiler. I am looking for info/examples on writing/porting low level drivers for the GPIB. The examples I have found come with the low levels drivers in an object file which you link in, but nothing on how to write the low level drivers.
    Any pointers on what documentation/examples that I should look at would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you for your time,

  • Magic Mouse Drivers - Bootcamp

    Apple,
    The Magic Mouse is a great product but thus far you've ignored those who work in Bootcamp with Windows. My occasional jaunts into the Windows world are disappointing and should not be. Please release drivers that better utilize Magic Mouse features in Windows.

    This issue appears to be resolved (well, it never required resolution, just the proper drivers) by installing only part of the Apple Bluetooth Update 1.0 for Windows.
    The update can be found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL952
    Once the package is downloaded, you must extract the files using WinRAR or any other similar ZIP/RAR utility.
    You must extract the files from the update. If you simply try to install the entire update, you'll receive a prompt stating the update isn't required for your specific model, as this update is intended for the iMac.
    Once extracted, open the target directory and double-click the AppleWirelessMouse.exe that applies to your Windows OS (32 or 64 bit).
    I'm using my Magic Mouse with Boot Camp and Fusion 3.0 running Win 7 and both vertical and horz scrolling work just fine. The Magic Mouse also feels a bit more responsive. Both are welcome improvements.
    I'm not quite sure why Apple hasn't provided more information on this, it seems they're okay with the implication that Magic Mouse only works in Mac OS X.

  • Mighty Mouse drivers

    I've bought a new Mighty Mouse for my MacBook. The two 'main'-buttons work fine, and also the scroll. But the squeeze and the scrollbutton (for an extra function) doesn't do anything. I've done the right settings in systempreferences (I see a picture of the Mighty Mouse). After this I installed the drivers (didn't this at first), but nothing changed. I can't even turn of scrolling ... It's like the drivers don't work, but I have Mac OS X 10.4.7

    drivers??? what are you talking about. just plug the mouse to the macbook and should work.
    make sure you have a check mark in the mouse settings for vertical and horizontal scrolling and should be all you need to do.
    my macbook and imac work fine with it and dont require any drivers or software at all.

  • Mouse drivers for windows vista

    Hi,
    I have a macbook and I also run vista on it. I would like to know if there are any drivers released from Apple to support right click and select option on vista. Precisely I want to operate the right click and select option from the track pad on Windows vista just the way we operate on Mac OS.
    On Vista, it is so difficult to operate by placing two fingers and clicking the mouse button on the track pad. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Sandeep

    lucky you own a yummy macbook (to expensive at time for me) and run M$ vista on it?

  • How do I install a keyboard and mouse drivers if Windows is down Pavilion a1630n

    Windows on My Pavilion boots and comes up but it sits there on the monitor as no input device keyboard or mouse are registering. I did a virus scan with a rescue disk but nothing found. I boot with Ubuntu and it works fine.
    What can I do?

    Hello PCcurious, Have you tried to enter the BIOS with the keyboard? The BIOS should have support for the keyboard even before Windows is loaded.
    If you can manage to get into the BIOS, you can set the keyboard for no errors.
    You might also try reseting the BIOS if this does not work.
    Please click the White Kudos star on the left, to say thanks.
    Please mark Accept As Solution if it solves your problem.

  • How to uninstall microft mouse drivers.

    I have a usb microsoft mouse and installed the magic trackpad. I'm using Lion as my OS. My trackpad is connect but does not work. I've uninstalled the microsoft intellipoint software, but that didn't resolve the problem. Any ideas?

    You need to pair it with your machine.  Open the trackpad preferences (or bluetooth preferences) and initiate the pairing from there.  The instructions are in the Magic Trackpad manual (link downloads pdf) which you should have gotten with the trackpad.
    You may also need to do a smc reset.

  • Removing ALL remnants of previous mouse drivers

    How do I do this? I checked in the obvious locations "Library/Preferences" and deleted any files associated with whatever brand of mouse I was using, along with uninstallation of the software originally installed. My question is: Is there any other directories/folders that will have files associated with mice I'd need to delete? I ask because the apple mouse is behaving a bit screwy. It's either really SLOW, or REALLY fast. The cursor should be moving at the same speed all the time, not suddenly accelerate the way it's doing now. Any advice? I had been using a Logitech mouse with the Control Center software, after uninstallation I was using USB overdrive. That's also been uninstalled now.

    Why don't you just use Spotlight and search for any files with similar names??

  • 3rd-party mouse drivers

    I have a Kensington mouse on my MacBook which uses their Mouseworks software. A search here on "mouseworks" turns up zero, so I wanted to see if anyone with a Kensington mouse had success w/Leopard before I do the upgrade. Without the software the forward/reverse buttons don't work.
    I already know now that the driver for the Logitech MX Revolution I bought on Saturday for the G5 isn't going to work as it uses the now-infamous Unsanity APE. Bleh.
    (yeah I know about USB Overdrive)

    OK, I can now CONFIRM that this problem IS with the latest (but rather old) Kensington V3.0 driver. From Kensington Tech Support:

    Discussion Thread
    Response (Asif Ali) 11/03/2007 01:05 PM
    Thank you for contacting Kensington Technical Support.
    I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused to you.
    I understand your concern. I regret to inform you that Mouseworks 3.0 on 10.5 breaks the native Ctrl + Scroll to Zoom functionality, but for now the solution is to Uninstall Mouseworks if this functionality is preferred. As we test the Expert Mouse & MouseWorks on the release version of Leopard and found that all functionality/programmability works with MouseWorks installed except for scroll wheel zoom.
    However as we have forwarded the issue to our software development team, we are expecting an updated release very soon.
    I appreciate your understanding and patience.
