That would be great as this is how i envisioned using it from the start. in my application it will be almost impossible to use the buttons and have them be user friendly. Is there a script or something that can be written quickly so that: down=left click? Sorry for my ignorance here but i am really in over me head with trying to program this thing.

I've read it a hundred times and it's almost starting to make sense. I plan on using pan axis as the mouse 100% of the time and only the tilt to different screen commands. so i guess i don't need context switching? i just need to set up a command in the ExecTBL file then?

Hope that helps!

Ok I'm lost again here. I don't understand the Windows message thing at all. Where does it come from? Where do i put it? I know spoon feeding is frowned upon, but if someone could write a line that has the LED's come on as soon as the program runs that would be very helpful.

I'm sorry for the lack of understanding on my part. Computer code is not my thing. It took me almost 6 hours to get the pan axis to work AT ALL for the mouse control, an other couple days of playing with it to get the axis reversed. My problem is there is so much i don't understand that it takes me hours to understand one sentence cause i have to look up every term.

I thank you all for your patience in helping me to get this working, CherryBomb, inh, you are truly a gift to this forum. to make this program on your own time and then help people to configure it is above and beyond what's expected. If your ever in Washington State you guys let me know and the drinks are on me!!!!!
