Having issues binding controller triggers/buttons (Oculus Rift S) #229

Hello! I really appreciate the work you've put into this overlay to make ED VR more accessible to people like me who can't spend a hundred dollars on a joystick. I've spent all day today trying to set everything up for it, including vJoy and setting Elite Dangerous to Windows 7 Compatibility mode for the Rift.

So far I've been able to bind pretty much everything properly, and have even tested it out in-game to make sure it works, but I'm having trouble with mapping the Primary, Secondary, and Alt buttons. I'll click on the "bind key" button in-game and then click on the "Primary" button on the little menu, and it just won't even do anything. Same for the Secondary and Alt ones.

I also went into the training mission to see if I can grab onto the virtual joystick while trying to map the button (saw another issue thread where someone suggested that) but that still didn't actually map anything. Strangely, I was actually able to map a setting called "JOY 1" by pressing the trigger button on the right-hand controller while gripping the virtual joystick in-game, but it doesn't seem to bind it if I'm in the main menu.

I don't get any errors in the cockpit program's command line thingy, and I don't really know how to read the vJoy monitoring program so I'll just post pictures of that too in case it helps.

The click handlers on those buttons seem to have broke. Will be fixed in the next release.

The monitoring program doesn't really provide me any information in a screenshot. Basically the bars in the "Joystick Monitor" section will move whenever you do something that'll move an axis (press one of the -/+1 buttons or grab the joystick/throttle and use it) and the 1-8 yellow circles will turn red if you press the associated button (press a button on the edit panel or do something like grab the joystick and pull the trigger).
