Input tool using MouseWheel

It prints whatever you configure (see <Letters> in the config).

So did I but then there's no valueable mouse command on the tilt buttons.

Very innovative. Great job!

Thank you. As soon as I get the Powermate SDK, I'll try to adapt it.

It took me a while to get the SDK from Griffin Technology but now it's done.

MWI now supports the PowerMate as announced. Download the new binaries and do the following:
Add these tags to your MouseWheelInput.Config.xml:
<UsePowerMate>true</UsePowerMate>
<UseMouseHook>false</UseMouseHook>
<SlowDown>4</SlowDown>
<SwitchToDictionaryTime>2000</SwitchToDictionaryTime>

Set SlowDown to decelerate the PowerMate (a value of 4 or 5 has been proofen useful) because it acts a bit faster than the mouse wheel. Since the PowerMate has no extra buttons, set SwitchToDictionary to any value you like (in milliseconds) to focus the dictionary list automticaly after the defined idle time. This setting also switches back after the timer has elapsed a second time.

The new ZIP contains PhoneCtl.Config.exe, which is able to handle the MouseWheelInput.Config.xml as well. This is a more conventient way to change your settings.

Beware! If the second tag in your MouseWheelInput.Config.xml is not
<MouseWheelInput...> (old version), delete the configuration file before you start MWI.

If you'd like to use the PowerMate in your own application, drop me a mail.
