improving usability

[marcelm]

hi all,

i'm trying to write a programm that registers 'all' the user's actions.
e.g. when a user presses a button or clicks a mouse that should be recorded
in a file along with a time index. i want to use the information for improving the userinterface. i'm hoping someone can give me an example or an idea what to look for.

thanks in advance
marcel

(this is purely for scientific reasons and i'll only use the programm with the users consent)

Look at the APIs.. GetAsyncKeyState(), which will return any Keyboard/MouseButton Activity within the O/S, and GetCursorPos, which returns a POINTAPI Structure containing the Cursors X/Y Coords relative to the Screen in Pixels anywhere within the O/S.
