    I have a mouse and a tablet.  Is there a way to tell which is being used at any given time or adjusting the factor for the tablet to a value different than the mouse?

     

    TIA,

    Well, the only thing close that I know of within the FCL is this:

    Microsoft.VisualBasic.Devices.Computer computer = new Microsoft.VisualBasic.Devices.Computer();

    Microsoft.VisualBasic.Devices.Mouse mouse = computer.Mouse;

    But that doesn't tell you "which" mouse is connected.

    However, your tablet may have certain Mouse property values set that are different than those of a typical mouse - you could compare them to determine "which" mouse is currently being used.
