Mouse macros using FSUIPC.

[Stinger2k3]

Hi Pete,

I previously asked the question as to why I was unable to create a mouse macro. At the time I

was informed that mouse macros do not work with XML gauges. I use FSX.

A friend who uses the same aircraft (Carenado Phenom 300) in P3d has successfully created a

mouse macro. Did this change with P3d or has there been an update to FSUIPC?

Many thanks

The earlier versions (FS4, FSX and P3D1-3) used hooks into the actual code to trap the mouse click. In P3Dv4 this is no longer necessary as LM provide facilities as part  of its Programmer Development Kit (PDK). Makes the code in FSUIPC much simpler and more foolproof.  So mouse macros will not work in non C/C++ SDK Guages in FS4, FSX and P3D1-3.

Many thanks for the reply John. It looks like a move to P3dv4 might be on the cards to

enable me to finally finish my home cockpit.
