How to utilize muliple mice in C# Forms

1.00/5 (2 votes)

I am more of a c# hacker than coder, and I need some help on generating some code in C# to determine how many mice are plugged in to the PC and when which one has been clicked.

I want to hide the cursors.

I do not want to be using WPF and the MultiPoint Mouse SDK :) Thanks,

John

I have no experience with that, but maybe you can get some ideas from this article, which handles a (probably) similar problem:

C# has no built-in classes/methods to handle such thing, not even simple Windows API can do that, however Microsoft has a MultiPoint SDK that used in educational environment - you may use it too: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ee906605.aspx
