Recently, user cprince inquired why all of the possible Mouse Button presses were not available in LabVIEW. In the original post, it was not clear whether this referred to "normal" mouse functions (as captured, say, by the Event structure) or whether this referred to the Mouse functions on the Input Device Control Palette. The latter has a Query Device, which shows (for my mouse on my PC) that the Mouse has 8 buttons, but the Acquire Input Data polymorphic function for Mouse input returns a "cluster button info" with only four buttons.
The "magic" seems to happen inside lvinput.dll. If, as seems to be the case, the DLL can "see" and recognize 8 Mouse Buttons, it would be nice if all 8 could be returned to the user as a Cluster of 8 (instead of 4) Booleans.
