How do I find mouse buttons?

[EmperorRosko]

Hi All,

Really newbie question here, can't seem to find anything in any documentation.

I am trying to create my own input maps for mouse and keyboard. Unfortunately none of the online library utilise the 2 side buttons on my Roccat mouse, which I always use for melee and grenade throw.

I can't seem to find a way to see what the Titan Two sees those mouse buttons as so I can map them?

I can see the way that I add a new mouse button, and the drop down shows "Button 3, Button 4, etc, etc." but how do I know which Button refers to those on my mouse?

Thanks
Ross

Good question, no idea. Hopefully J2kbr can help.

For my G502 logitech mouse I can get 5 buttons to work as mouse buttons when configured like this in the mouse software (mouse internal memory), I can use the rest of the buttons as keys only:
1:left, 2:right, 3:middle, 4:"forward" , 5:"backward"

tested with this code:

Code: Select all

#include <mouse.gph>
 
bool Report_MouseMove = FALSE;
bool Report_MouseWheel = TRUE;
 
 
main {
  uint8 i;
  if (mouse_status(MREPORT_UPDATED)) {
    if (Report_MouseMove && mouse_status(MOUSE_X)) printf("MOUSE_X");
    if (Report_MouseMove && mouse_status(MOUSE_Y)) printf("MOUSE_Y");
    if (Report_MouseWheel && mouse_status(MOUSE_WHEEL)) printf("MOUSE_WHEEL");
    if (Report_MouseWheel && mouse_status(MWHEEL_FORWARD) == 1) printf("MWHEEL_FORWARD");
    if (Report_MouseWheel && mouse_status(MWHEEL_BACKWARD) == -1) printf("MWHEEL_BACKWARD");
    for (i=4; i<20;i++) {
      if (mouse_status(i)) printf("MBUTTON_%d",i-3);
    }
  }
}
 

Output panel:

Code: Select all

GVM Output: MBUTTON_1
GVM Output: MBUTTON_2
GVM Output: MBUTTON_3
GVM Output: MBUTTON_4
GVM Output: MBUTTON_5
GVM Output: MOUSE_WHEEL
GVM Output: MWHEEL_FORWARD
GVM Output: MOUSE_WHEEL
GVM Output: MWHEEL_BACKWARD

I figured another way to do it was just map the side buttons on my mouse to keyboard letters V & G and then map them in the Titan Two like that. Simples!

J2kbr: can you elaborate on this? I’m curious myself and I’d like to add this to my pc coding guide.
