New Post: LLMouseFilter vs. ManagedMouseFilter

Thank you for your contribution. It looks nice.

LLMouseFilter vs. ManagedMouseFilter
The biggest difference between LLMouseFilter and ManagedMouseFilter is that the LLMouseFilter uses Windows Hooks to catch mouse events whereas ManagedMouseFilter uses application message queue.
Generally , if you have access to the apllication message queue (through Application.AddMessageFilter method) it is better to use ManagedMouseFilter. LLMouseFilter was created for VisualStudio plugin, becouse there is no way to access VS message queue.

So after sleeping for a night, I realized the (now obvious) reason for consuming the messages is to inhibit right click actions in the application (like a context menu). So, disregard that silly question.

I hacked on the MouseGestures component, and re-worked it so that it will recognize arbitrary length gestures composed of the four directional elements. I've uploaded a patch to the issue regarding additional gesture support at http://www.codeplex.com/mousegestures/WorkItem/View.aspx?WorkItemId=2000.

I've made the necessary changes to the VS AddIn as well, but wanted to rework the gesture configuration to be more like that of other gesture enabled apps, as well as the configuration of keyboard shortcuts in VS. Once I do that, I'll post the patch on the AddIn project page.

Commented Issue: Additional gestures

Hi, me and my ImagineCup team find this MouseGestures lib very easy to use and we'll include it in our this year's project.
I was wondering if there is a possibility to add more gestures. Our primary intrest is in circle and rectangle shapes.
Thanks :)

The attached patch expands the gesture recognition to arbitrary length gestures. A gesture is then composed of any number of up, down, left, and right motions, as well as the starting position. This seems more inline with the recognition capabilities of other gesture systems (ie Firefox plugins).

First - thanks for a useful project. After being spoiled in my browser, I've become a gesture addict. It's nice to have support for them in Visual Studio.

I was interested in adding support for additional gestures, and so was poking through the code. I was curious as to the two implementations of the IMouseMessageFilter. I see that Visual Studio Add In uses the low level filter. When should each filter be used? Are there advantages and disadvantages of the two filters?

Also (perhaps I should have created a separate thread), what is the reason for consuming the WM_RBUTTONDOWN and WM_RBUTTONUP events, as opposed to passing them on to the application?

Hi, I am afraid that it isn't possible it would require a lot of work - the algorithm I am using can only recognize stright lines. I think in most programms would that complex gestures unused, so I am not planning to implement them. Sorry.

CLOSED ISSUE: Visual Studio Plug-in

Hi,

I find this is a great thing to make such a thing like mouse gestures. I've been using a plug-in like this in IE, and I would like to use it with Visual Studio. Do you think it would be easy to make an add-in for visual studio to deal with mouse gestures ?
