Support differentiating key/mouse event source #8

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago

There is a number of use cases (remote control devices, barcode scanners) where 
it is of key importance to know the source of a keyboard/mouse event. Is there 
any way to get at that information? This would be a great benefit to many 
problems that are now virtually unsolvable in Java.

Sorry about the wrong type. Clearly not a defect, but an enhancement request.

It maybe possible for some platforms.  Something like 
http://code.google.com/p/javahidapi/ is probably more of what you are looking 
for.

Yes, a HID source of an event would be the great enhancement!
