Windows MultiPoint Mouse SDK

Asked by Peter Kim

I read about Microsoft Windows MultiPoint Mouse SDK at
http://www.microsoft.com/multipoint/mouse-sdk/

Can Sikuli be modified to work with multiple active cursors with the use of this SDK?

What I want to do is to start two or more Sikuli sessions on a Windows PC, each controlling an application simultaneously.

Thanks.

*** Microsoft Windows MultiPoint Mouse SDK

--- possible? might be. But I do not think, that the developers will do anything with this, because it is Windows special. Sikuli supports it's features on all 3 Plattforms (Windows, Linux, Mac).

--- nevertheless: if you want to use something like that, it would have to be integrated into Java's robot support, so that the multiple mice can be driven by the robot. I doubt that this is easily possible.

So if you want to do anything with it, you at least have to implement some prototype on your own. This could then be suggested to the developers.

--- Sikuli either on the Python or on the Java API layer can currently rather easy be used in parallel sessions on the same machine including the coordination of mouse and keyboard usage and application window focus.

Easy - if you have the knowledge to implement some inter process communication to support that - as mentioned in the referenced question's answers.
