7.11.2009 - Version 1.6 with localization
Added support for multiple languages. Currently HidMacros comes with English, French and Czech language. Any other language can be added. If you want to translate HidMacros to your language, just check lang directory and send me appropriate lng and rtf file. Thanks to Marc Berthomeaux for French translation and pushing me add multilanguage support :-).
21.7.2009 - Website modified
One long web page was divided into several sections. Some new information added.
28.4.2009 - New features in version 1.5
Some of you asked for toggle switch option. It is not a good idea to use keyboard button, because once the key is pressed keyboard driver keeps sending key-down messages to windows. However with Direct Input I'm able to manage various gamepads and joysticks. Buttons of game devices can be easily used for toggle switches. Having pressed e.g. gamepad button for a long time doesn't cause any processing in windows. So you can have some cheap gamepad with 8 buttons and connect those buttons as light switches, gear control etc.
28.11.2008 - New features in version 1.4
On user requests (thanks for your input) mouse support was implemented. Macro can be activated by mouse button press/release or mouse wheel scroll. Again default windows behavior is deactivated when mouse event has some macro assigned. Especially mouse wheel can be used for various actions in FS - tuning the radios, trim aircraft, set heading knob etc. Mouse button can have different macro for press and release. This was intended for toggle switches in simple home cockpit, however windows mouse driver provides some control on HW level so it brings only limited functionality. But it's perfectly usable for simple clicks. Also another macro action was implemented. You can launch different application when macro is activated.
