Wings 3D + mouse

Hi,

I wish there was better support for mouses with more than standard 3 buttons. I use mouse with 8 buttons and would like to set it up with different key shortcuts, for example 4th button as ctrl+z and 5th as ctrl+shift+z...

Is there any way to sign mouse buttons? I tried to use external mouse configuration program and it doesn't work.

I think you can try AutoHotkey. It seems to support mouse with five buttons.

Hi micheus!,

I tried to setup my mouse and I think the problem seems to be in Wings 3D. Is the program able to handle mouse with more than three buttons? Even in the preferences you can choose between 1-3 button option...
Could anyone check if this is only my problem?

Thanks

Not really a "problem". I don't remember to see in the source code Wings3d handling other than those three usual buttons events received from the OS.

Wings3d? I don't think so.
The program I pointed you? Yes.

Quote:Supported only in Windows 2000/XP or later:
XButton1 - a button that appears only on certain mice
XButton2 - a button that appears only on certain mice

It should work fine for what you want.
