Would like to extend my desktop mouse on my ppc

mojomahem · #1 (**permalink**) 09-23-2008, 01:52 PM

Im trying to extend my ppc on my desktop. I currently use mymobiler which works but i would like to minimize it and just have my mouse move across to my ppc like another monitor (but just control the ppc). I used to have a program that did this but i cant find it.

Ive tried virtual ce, dotpocket, soti, and mymobiler.

Any other suggestions.

If I understand you correctly, mymobiler does this for me just fine. Once connected, I can select "Mouse to" from the mymobiler menu in the system tray and then the mouse continues on to the ppc screen to control it there.

It would be cool to use your PPC as a mouse for your PC.....

Have a try with Desktop rover, worked great on my Axim.

What Is Desktop Rover?Desktop Rover allows you to control up to 32 computers (including Pocket PCs) with a single computer's keyboard and mouse. By positioning each computer's monitor next to (or above or below) each other, you can use each computer as if it was part of a single virtual desktop. You simply move the mouse from one computer to the next and the keyboard focus follows the mouse to that computer. Here are some ways our customers use Desktop Rover.
Use instead of KVM switch. Some of our customers use Desktop Rover instead of a KVM switch because they want to have a monitor connected to each computer, but don't want the clutter of all the mice and keyboards. Computers that have Remote Desktop available don't even need physical keyboards or mice to be connected. You can configure the system using Remote Desktop and then control it using Desktop Rover.
Control your laptop from your desktop computer. Many computer professionals have a main desktop computer for development and a laptop for presentations, meetings, travel, etc. Instead of using a docking station, they place the laptop next to the desktop computer, and use the main computer to control the laptop while using it at their desk.
Collaboration tool. When working on projects with more than one person, you can place two computers next to each other and configure them in a virtual desktop group. Each partner can move the mouse over to the computer next to them. They can literally control each other's computer without reaching for the other keyboard. Tradeshow demonstration tool. Use Desktop Rover to demonstrate your product running on two or more computers? Control multiple systems without awkwardly reaching for different keyboards or mice and without constantly switching your KVM.
Simplify Pocket PC tasks. When your Pocket PC is in the cradle and you are working at your main computer. It is much easier to move your mouse over to the Pocket PC to work than fumbling for the stylus. More about the Pocket PC client.

Something that might be worth looking into, but not sure if it meets your needs:

there's an app for this somewhere, if you're still interested in it,
message me. I think it uses bluetooth and a gsensor or something to sense where you move your phone, and acts like a mouse with two buttons on the screen and more options too.
