Weird mouse behavior
in [Visual Basic]

From: Helmut Meukel on 13 Feb 2010 04:50 Hi Kevin, maybe I had the same problem. I randomly got double clicks when I just clicked once or a click when I did't click at all. Try to replace the mouse. It worked for me. I still don't understand why the same mouse worked fine with another PC. Helmut. "C.

Forgive me if I'm stating the obvious and if you've already tried it or it does not apply, but this wouldn't happen to be a wireless mouse would it? If so, have you tried changing its batteries? Also have you unplugged and replugged the USB receiver, and checked that it is well within range and not too close to a source interference, such as a display or a power supply? Otherwise, perhaps you should just buy a new mouse. They are so cheap these days (I picked one up for less than a fiver from Asda the other day!) that it is worth giving it a try, and if it doesn't fix the problem then at least you will have a spare mouse ;-) Mike

What's the brand of this mouse? Wired or wireless? One thing to check is if there is a global hook DLL that is buggy and not calling other hooks in the chain. Start Notepad, and use something that views the list of DLL's loaded into Notepad. You could use Process Viewer that comes with VS6, or Process Explorer from sysinternals. When something calls SetWindowsHookEx(), the DLL is not loaded or unloaded* until a message is received, so use the mouse on Notepad to insure the DLL is loaded. Examine the list of DLL's and see if there is anything strange there. Another possibility is if you have security software that updates itself and blocks global hooks. Mouse software generally use global hooks, so disable your security or AV software and check to see if there are missing DLL's. * Windows doesn't unload DLL's immediately when you call UnhookWindowsHookEx() until the window receives a message, so sending WM_NULL after the call unloads the DLL.
