Yes - it's using the Si stuff.

space_mouse_init() does all the initialization and check_for_space_mouse_event() uses SiGetEvent etc.

Tcl/TK will support multiple threading but it would make the implementation of this very messy. Tcl/TK waits on GetMessage so you need to wedge in there (using the standard Tcl/Tk notification and event sources is useless in this case). We have solved the problem like this - I hope this is useful to...

Thanks Jim,

Thanks for your help Jim,

Is there any way to do the equiv. of APP_CONTROLS_BUTTONS = TRUE without a config file? Our software is Tcl/Tk and it doesn't use Windows config files.

If I can just read the axis setup, that will be all I need.

Thanks,

Andy

Umm - I don't like that. I want people to be abe to fly the with the same controls, whatever they have set up for the zoom directrion. Is this the same info that's given by SiSyncGetOrientation? SPWint32 axes[6]; SiSyncGetOrientation( devHdl, axes ); for (int n=0; n < 6; n++) printf("axis %d %x...

Yes I understand this - but how do I detect this has changed?

The cityfly demo doesn't detect it - you can no longer rotate.

I am programming for flying.

How do I detect which Zoom direction is selected in the user control panel (Device configuration).

I need to know because some users set their zoom direction to up/down and this breaks/switches rotation (try the cityfly demo)

Has anyone got a device going with Tcl/Tk? I've spent many days trying to get it working properly and have come to the conclusion that because Windows Tcl/Tk is also waiting on GetMessage, it's probably impossible to write an event loop that works correctly. I have tried using the tcl event source s...
