Glove-Pie and multiple keyboard emulators
« on: February 27, 2013, 10:35:45 pm »
Hi Guys

I am a newbie to Glove-Pie and need a little help.  Win7

I want to have multiple keyboard emulators (in my case rfid readers which show up in Device manager)
Firstly I want to list all USB keyboards on the laptop, have tried        Keyboard.Count =
Nothing  happening, have I got this correct ?

Next when the keyboard numbers are know is to route the data coming thru on keyboard # 1  thru to an Excel spreadsheet.
Then  keyboard #2 etc to a different position in the Excel spreadsheet.

Can someone give me some guidance, thanks.

Sure I'll help.  You can't do it.  ;)

Just like raw mice can't be simulated in windows neither can raw keyboards or any other raw input device.  READING multiple keyboards sure, you can do that.  Faking them, nope.. just the system keyboard.
