Mouse events from a cluster client

[victorqx]

For anyone who is interested in the same thing, here's how I got it to work:

I created a small WPF application with a transparant window (in the XAML you can put something like: Background="#01000000" WindowStyle="None" AllowsTransparency="True" WindowState="Maximized" Topmost="True")

This application is then on top of the regular Vizard application and catches all mouse events. These mouse events are sent via UDP packets to the vizard master.

My script in the vizard master receives these packets (using the built in viz.callback(viz.NETWORK_EVENT,onNetwork) network mechanism) The packets (interpreted as a RawNetworkEvent) are then used to call the appropriate methods as if a mouse event was raised.

It was a little tricky to get object selection working, since the regular viz.pick didn't work for me when applied to a mouse position on the tablet. So, instead I used the intersect method based on two positions that I manually calculate based on the current caveorigin and the size of my ortho projection. PM me for more information if you're interested.
