I wish to hook two mouses up to a computer running XP Pro. I would prefer both be a USB mouse. Below are my requirements: 1) I would like this to work with Microsoft Excel. I would like two people to be able to select menu items and operate mouse buttons and scroll wheels independently. 2) I need to distinguish between the 'Instructor' mouse (mouse #1) and the 'Student' mouse (mouse #2). 3) I need to know when either mouse #1 or #2 moves or uses the scroll wheel. 4) I would prefer that when you plug in the second mouse, that the OS does not recogize it as a mouse when it is connected into a USB port, but rather a new hardware device that i name (for example "Instruction hardware device found".) 5) I would like the source code to be in vba or vb so that i may tweak it as needed. 6) if this is not easy, i would be satisfied to have two mice work with another program, such as note pad, but i would need to know the coordinates (mouse position), button status and scroll wheel activity for each. ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables): a) For web sites or other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment. b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law. Buyer will receive exclusive and complete copyrights to all work purchased. (No GPL, GNU, 3rd party components, etc. unless all copyright ramifications are explained AND AGREED TO by the buyer on the site per the coder's Seller Legal Agreement). ## Platform Windows XP. I would like it if it were backwards compatible with WIndows 98 also, but not required.
