I've been playing Dragon Age Origins and I noted that macros don't work in the app. They work fine in WOW and Torchlight. After a little research I think it's likely that DAO is using DirectInput to read the keyboard.
Apparently SendInput does do the right thing with DirectInput, but you have to use scan code instead of virtual keycodes. My guess would be sending Scan codes with Send Input inserts them earlier in the OS's input chain.
I've recieved email from a couple of people with similar problems in apps I don't run.
If I can get VS2008 installed on my new machine I'll try the change over the weekend and push out a fixed app.
Out of curiosity and for the mentally challenged at times like myself, how do you close the program with out just using the task bar? The X never highlights for me.
ReplyDeleteI disabled the exit, because I kept doing it accidentally.
ReplyDeleteI usually just kill it with task manager, but it takes a minimal ammount of memory and it's just waiting on events so a minuimal ammount of CPU, so I usually just leave it running.
I figured as much, just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything. Also, THANK YOU! for making this.
ReplyDeleteRob, thank you for all your work on this. After installing Windows 7 64Bit I found that I could no longer use my DX1. Well, I stumbled onto your site, and downloaded your driver. I have only used it with the Borderlands game so far, and it works perfectly.
ReplyDeleteI notice I have to have the DX1 Utility running in the background for the driver to work though. I thought I read where you said it could be shut down after creating the *.exe.pgm file; but I find that the utility MUST be running in order for the DX1 pad to run with the game.
I am not at all complaining about that, but did I misunderstand your comment about shutting the utility down?
If you have the time you should make a proposal to Ergodex to write (for a fee) an official driver for them as you obviously have more concern about future use of the DX1 than they seem to have.
Again, I am simply OVERJOYED to find your application as my DX1 was dead without it. I would happily pay you for use of this application; or would at least like to buy you a beer (or coffee if you don't drink). Do you have a Paypal account?

No it still needs to run in the background. For app switching to work, it needs to listen for events of the foreground app changing.
ReplyDeleteMacros are also done via the app, the driver sends events to the app for the macro keys, the app deals with the grunt work and calls SendInput.
What is true is that one a keymap is programmed, you can kill the app and it stays programmed, since the basic 1-1 key mapping is a hardware function of the device. Macro's however are not.
Rob, thanks for clearing that up.
ReplyDeleteAgain, thank you for writing the application. I really don't understand why Ergodex doesn't keep it up to date. No one is going to buy a DX1 if they find out it won't run on Win 7.
I can't seem to get any macros working at all, i can't even register a keystroke in the macro editor.... ideas?
ReplyDeleteRead the docs..
ReplyDeleteMy guess is you haven't added the commands to the macro by pressing insert while the left hand panel is active in the macro editor.
