Use VB to Change mouse buttons functions?

[MichaelVB]

VBGurus,

While there are APIs to swap buttons, I would like to change the assignments of my Intellimouse Explorer without having to go through the menu.

How can I do it?

TIA

Michael

See if there is a DLL you can call API-like functions from in the Intellimouse's folder, like you can call API stuff from Kernel32.dll, gdi32.dll, advapi32.dll etc. Maybe there's a DLL called imAPI or something?

I don't have an intellimouse, so I can't give you first-hand knowledge/advice.

Right, I get you,
thanks, I don't have an intellimouse either unfortunaetly.

You have IntelliMouse? I used that once, but sent it back.
It was hard as hell to create VB Program and stuff cuz the mouse pointer would not move and it was hard to resize forms and stuff.
So I got rid of it all because VB made me do it ;].
I guess I'm the move-mouse-with-hand and two-button-click kind of guy, hehe .

Here is how to swap mouse buttons though.

'To swap the mouse buttons:
'Call this function with the variable bSwap = True. 
'Set bSwap to False to restore normal operation.

Declare Function SwapMouseButton& Lib "user32" _
(ByVal bSwap as long)
