Update: I have released Smoothboard on a new website, Smoothboard.net.

Following the suggestions from fellow wiiproject.com users, I have updated Right-clicker 0.1 to allow the system tray to be used as a toggle area.

This post will only contain the new features available. For more details regarding the app, please go to Right-clicker 0.1.

The usual left click mode indicated by the cursor icon that is pointed to the left with a letter L.

After clicking on the icon, the program will turn into right click mode (cursor icon pointing to the right with the letter R).

The next immediate click will be a right click.

To load the menu, click the icon twice (or right click the icon)

This is the modified settings window.

System Tray Only will deactivate/hide the clicking window. With this option, the program is only accessible through the system tray icon.

Important Note: The program is still not fully working in Powerpoint 2003/2007.  The right click will not work when the pointer options is changed to the pen or highlighter mode. I am still experimenting with various methods to solve the problem.

I have fixed some bugs that had caused the application to slow down momentarily.

Update: I have made a new version of the Wiimote Whiteboard,Smoothboard.net.

It has many new features including the built-in right clicking function. It should work in PowerPoint 2003/2007 and in OneNote 2007. Therefore, development for Right-Clicker is now superseded by the Wiimote Smooth Board.

I have managed to set up the Wiimote Whiteboard system just a few days ago. One of the major difficulties that I have encountered is the lack of the right click feature. One of the ways to simulate a right click is through having two infrared diodes. However, this will require some modification to the IR pen and also to the Johnny Lee’s software.

Therefore, I have made a simple application that will help Wiimote Whiteboard users to right click. This application, allows you to switch the normal clicks into right clicks. This is done by intercepting the left click event and replacing it with a simulated right click event.

After executing the application, drag or resize the window to suit your usage. When you need to right click, just click within the window, toggle area or the status bar (except the settings button). The subsequent click you make will be a right click. After that, the next clicks will be the normal left clicks.

The window position and the other settings are saved in an INI file located in the same folder with the executable.

I have not tested this application in detail so most probably there will be some unknown bugs. Please feel free to post a comment here if you find any problems with the application.

If you will also like me to add more features to this application, please also tell me. For example, double clicking using an infrared pen is not easy. I might include a double click feature in the future.

Note: If your computer could not run this application, you have to install the VB6 runtime files that can be downloaded from here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=7B9BA261-7A9C-43E7-9117-F673077FFB3C&displaylang=en
