I just bought a Magic Mouse and I like it pretty much. But as a Mac Developer it’s even cooler. But there’s one problem: is there already an API available for it? I want to use it for one of my applications. For, example, detect the user’s finger positions, swipe or stretch gestures etc…
Does anyone know if there’s an API for it (and how to use it)?
The Magic Mouse does not use the
NSTouchAPI. I have been experimenting with it and attempting to capture touch information. I’ve had no luck so far. The only touch method that is common to both the mouse and the trackpad is theswipeWithEvent:method. It is called for a two finger swipe on the device only.It seems the touch input from the mouse is being interpreted somewhere else, then forwarded on to the public API. I have yet to find the private API that is actually doing the work.
