Numeric keypad input as mouse commands

[jamesa]

Hallo,

I'm facing the following problem.
Playing with the mouse setting, I sent a SPI_SETMOUSEKEYS (using the SystemParametersInfo) message to the system with the following mouse settings.

pMOUSEKEYS.cbSize = Len(pMOUSEKEYS)

With pMOUSEKEYS
.cbSize = Len(pMOUSEKEYS)
.dwFlags = MKF_MOUSEKEYSON Or MKF_AVAILABLE
.dwReserved1 = 0
.dwReserved2 = 0
.iCtrlSpeed = 10
.iMaxSpeed = 200
.iTimeToMaxSpeed = 1000
End With

Everything worked fine. I don’t know why, but the system is now processing my numeric keypad input as mouse commands.

It seems that I set the MKF_MOUSEMODE flag, despite the fact that I didn’t do it.
Anyway!
Does anyone know how to tell the system to no more process the numeric keypad input as mouse commands?


Thanks in advance for your help

That may help someone else.
The MouseKeys Flags is stored in the “HKCU\Control Panel\Accessibility\MouseKeys\Flags” registry key with different values. (Flag Constant)
Some of these values (precisely the MKF_MOUSEKEYSON and the MKF_AVAILABLE) or combinations of these values enable the MouseKeys feature that tells the system to process numeric keypad input as mouse commands.
My dwFlags was set on “MKF_MOUSEKEYSON Or MKF_AVAILABLE”. Hoops!!!

Set the value on 27 if you want to manually turn on the MouseKeys feature, or 26 to turn it off.

Sorry to have disturb you.
