All this is unsupported. It may change in the future. It works today. Now that I covered the disclaimers... The easiest way to do this is: 1) Start the driver 2) Click on the windows background. The driver will show "Desktop" on the LCD/GUI/OSD/systray icon. 3) Make a change for that cfg w...

ahmadtantawy,

You can do this, but not with the GUI. You need to edit XML files, if that is something you are comfortable with.
It can be somewhat application dependent.
I'd need some details. Which application(s)?

ok_grandpa,

It is possible to rearrange the axes [almost] any way you want. But you need to do it in the XML. The GUI can't help you.
I can help you with this if you provide more details about what you want.

Yes, it would be a big change, especially if you have already functioning code. I've sent a link to the "old SDK" from the api support email. It should not have changed much, even since 2005. It does contain support for multiple devices and hot plugging that the COM interface doesn't expos...

There may be samples of using the new SDK with COM in the SDK. It is a substantial change in how you think about accessing the 3D mouse. If you send an email to our apisupport windows email address (I don't want to put the email address here), someone will send you a link to the "old SDK"....

It looks like you are using an older COM API that is no longer in maintenance. It probably does work though. 50741d == c635h. You can find this ProductID in <3DxWinCore>/Cfg/Base.xml: <Device> <ID>ID_ProductID_C635</ID> <Name>SpaceMouse Compact</Name> <VendorID>256f</VendorID> <ProductID>c635</Produ...

You want to hold down a device button, like a shift/modifier key, to temporarily switch modes? Then go back to the original "main" mode by releasing it?

Recent driver distributions should have a "Navigation Modes" category available when you assign an action to a button.

If it is a new device talk to tech-support.
Talk to them anyway; they are friendly.

...and you thought we forgot about you, Hypsersonic!

There are some cfg files that are loaded at init. If you set <CfgProperties><Grab>Hard</Grab> on one of those, the driver will not switch to any other cfgs, regardless of focus. For one of them, Desktop.xml, you can use a button to switch between grabbed, and floating with the focus modes (changes t...

There is an error in the TopSolid cfg file limited to one or two modes of TopSolid.
It has been fixed for the next release.
If anyone wants the fixed file before then, PM me.

The general idea with that mode is for people who consider themselves looking down at the desktop, not forward at a monitor. It is rarely used. You can achieve the desired effect only by manually editing the cfg file for your app. The best way to do that, is to open the app and use the GUI to change...

The latest driver has ButtonActions that can be assigned to any button to switch to the different Navigation Modes.

Hello Brian,

I think that is a problem with the cfg file for TopSolid.
I can send you something to try.
Is you registered email correct (info@...)?
