When using 'back' & 'forward' buttons on the mouse, nothing happens.

I'm using Logitech mouse & these button are working OK with all programs.
( Explorer IE, Firefox)

I'm always using this mouse buttons so it'd be great if it could work.

An another bug I have just seen is that hidden drives are shown

I don't have such a mouse and could not find any information about the keycodes it is sending when those buttons are pressed. If any VB-programmer can help me here, you're welcome!

Hey, thanks! This still should be working under 98/ME, but anyway, I fixed it for XP.

With my my logitech mouse I'm using the .... Microsoft Intellipoint driver !

With these drivers you can configure the action for any mouse button.

If you configure back & forward on left & right buttons you can find the
keycodes ( unless you are using a mouse with no buttons )

Yeah, I did exactly that and found a nice keycode for "back" but then I found that "fore" gave the same code That was the point when I stopped that route of investigation...

Here's the confusing news: I configured my middlebutton as back and my rightbutton as fore, and it works without any code changes! What now?

Still does not work on my PC.

I tried to assign "back" on left or right button, it does not work.

If I assign "normal click" on back button "normal click" works correctly.

So it is not a problem with the button but with the code not understood
by the program.

Does other users have the same problem ?

Just to be sure: we are talking about back/fore in the history, right? The same that can be done by ALT-LeftArrow and ALT+RightArrow.

Yes, we are talking about back/fore in the history

Alt + Keys works fine, but I'd like to use mouse butons like in the windows
explorer or internet browser.

Well, as I said, it works fine here.
If you define your normal right-button as "fore", does it work then?

No , even on another PC with a intellimouse

Out of ideas

Have you looked at the documentation for the mouse events ?

You mean VB's?

Since I cannot fully reproduce the problem, it's hard to tackle it. If somebody can give the needed keycodes I will happily add them to the code...

Okay, I went into the Intellimouse software, and you can program to buttons to issue keystrokes only under a specified program.

I assigned back and forward to alt-left and alt-right under TrackerV3 and that is working.

However, I don't mind helping you get this working automatically for everyone.

By "VB's", are you saying that the language you are using (at least in the code that receives mouse events) is Visual Basic ?

I need to know that in order to get the right information.

PS I believe that MS call those two buttons the X1 button and X2 button (if I am not confusing two different things).

Yes, it's working here, too.
Yes, Visual Basic.
X1 button and X2 button ... never heard of this.

Thanks for helping!
