[Requires Xbox Controller Plugged into computer (not with play-and-charge kit) and the drivers from MS installed] Anyway, it's not completely done, the mouse isn't as good as I would like and its not customizable but it's getting their. controls: A Click X Right Click Y Escape B Backspace Left Trigger Alt (Must Hold) Right Trigger Tab (Use with Left Trigger to use AltTab, tap to switch windows) Left Bumper Shift (Must Hold) Right Bumper Control (Must Hold) Left Stick MoveMouse Dpad Move Mouse in small increment if Left Stick isn't precise enough Right Stick (press) Close Window Right Stick (push up) maximze Right Stick (push down) minimize Right Stick (left/right) Restore Back BrowserForward Start StartMenu **The AltTab Buttons don't work when switching to IE8, and the min max and restore don't work with IE8. No idea why*** I plan to make dpad a custimzable shortcut launcher once mouse is more precise If I ever figure out how to use the guide button I'll switch start menu to it and make start a shortcut launcher Customizablitiy coming soon! XMouse.zip I know people like screenshots before they download stuff.. but it's a bit hard to 'show' this program but heres a screenshot of the code. Ignore the blank form, I need to hide that in the next release. *some people may need to install http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...;displaylang=en first* Edited May 7, 2009 by omnicoder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NienorGT Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 You mean plugged by USB or the wireless version work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fhpuqrgrpgvirzhpujbj Posted May 7, 2009 Author Share Posted May 7, 2009 Wireless works if you have that usb plugin for your computer that captures the signal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

giantpotato Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 I already do this with Xpadder, which is customizeable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fhpuqrgrpgvirzhpujbj Posted May 7, 2009 Author Share Posted May 7, 2009 Xpadder isn't free. And in other news, I'm going to eat with my feet in the future just because I can! It's actually useful in some situations. Like using a laptop on the couch or web browsing if you aren' typing much. Plus you could play games (eg gamemaker games,etc) with the controller once I add custimizng. Does Xpadder let you assign Arrow keys to moving the Stick in a particular direction?

Pupik Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Wanted to give it a try and see how it goes, but it crashes for me: Description: Stopped working Problem signature: Problem Event Name: CLR20r3 Problem Signature 01: xmouse.exe Problem Signature 02: 1.0.0.0 Problem Signature 03: 4a027303 Problem Signature 04: Microsoft.VisualBasic Problem Signature 05: 8.0.0.0 Problem Signature 06: 4889f422 Problem Signature 07: 6e Problem Signature 08: 8 Problem Signature 09: System.IO.FileNotFoundException OS Version: 6.0.6001.2.1.0.256.1 Locale ID: 1033 Read our privacy statement: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=501...mp;clcid=0x0409 Anything to solve the problem?

fhpuqrgrpgvirzhpujbj Posted May 7, 2009 Author Share Posted May 7, 2009 I was suspcious that might happen when VS didn't put the DLLs in the project folder. I believe it requires this from MS: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...;displaylang=en Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pupik Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Still getting the same crash error after installing that and restarting. And isn't this suppose to be in the PC gaming section, if not the software one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fhpuqrgrpgvirzhpujbj Posted May 7, 2009 Author Share Posted May 7, 2009 What OS are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pupik Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Vista 32bit SP1, and 1.10.123.0 version of the XBOX 360 accessories software with the latest official drivers if that helps somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fhpuqrgrpgvirzhpujbj Posted May 7, 2009 Author Share Posted May 7, 2009 The thing I find strange is its a FileNotFound Error... the program doesn't use any IO... Hmm... I'll contact MS for support. It still works fine for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyLarry Veteran Posted May 8, 2009 Veteran Share Posted May 8, 2009 Might have to give this a whirl, I was just thinking the other day when I was playing Wolverine on my PC (and definitely using the 360 controller) how it would be nice if I could just do some simple navigating while out of the game.

Unrealistic Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 I read this the other way. At first I thought this was a program to remotely control your xbox 360 with a PC KB/Mouse. Thanks though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoLiMiT06 Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Tried as well and got the same error as above... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiB3R Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Any chance you could get the chat pad to work? There are a lot of upset people screaming for it, because of the misleading packaging, but MS haven't done a thing about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fhpuqrgrpgvirzhpujbj Posted May 12, 2009 Author Share Posted May 12, 2009 Microsoft doesn't expose the chatpad via XNA and Xinput has been removed from the managed DirectX SDK, so you're out of luck unless someone can find me the old Managed DirectX SDK with Xinput.

giantpotato Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Xpadder isn't free.It's actually useful in some situations. Like using a laptop on the couch or web browsing if you aren' typing much. Plus you could play games (eg gamemaker games,etc) with the controller once I add custimizng. Does Xpadder let you assign Arrow keys to moving the Stick in a particular direction? It was freeware when I downloaded it a while back. I guess they made the latest version payware. And yes, Xpadder allows you to assign keys to the analog sticks. It even lets you set off the rumble when you press certain keys, which is cool if you're playing games that don't support a gamepad and assign the rumble to the fire key. So you might want to add that ability in future versions. Chatpad support would be amazing, but I'm not even sure if it's possible without support from the microsoft driver.

fhpuqrgrpgvirzhpujbj Posted May 13, 2009 Author Share Posted May 13, 2009 1. This does allow rumble to be assigned to stuff 2. The driver supports it, XNA and .net in general simply doen't. Like I said, if someone finds me the old DirectX managed SDK with Xinput I will gladly add chatpad support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiB3R Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 (edited) So there is no other way to get the chat pad to work with out this "old DirectX managed SDK with Xinput"? Here are some other threads I found regarding it http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsg...amp;m=1&p=1 http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/input-devi...i-keyboard.html I hope they might lead to something Edited May 19, 2009 by DARKFiB3R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
