Win3.11 3-button serial mouse driver - which/where?

Hi!

I tried to find driver for Genius optical 2 button mouse with wheel to support wheel or wheel as button for Windows 3.11, never succesfull.

So, I connected old 3-button mouse by serial port.

Mouse works correctly, but middle button is inactive...

I tried driver CuteMouse, not succesfull, also drivers for Genius works not.

CAN ANYBODY HELP ME HOW AND WHERE TO FIND UNVIRSAL DRIVER (for MS-DOS 6.22 & Win3.11) FOR THIS 3-BUTTON MOUSE?

Also, mouse is very old, unknown model, labels are destroyed...

Many many thanks for everything!

How will you know when the middle mouse button is working? Windows 3.1x doesn't have support for the middle mouse button.

Hi!

Yes, maybe I wrote it wrong...

I have test program for mice and there shows staus of LEFT, MIDDLE, RIGHT button and shows coordinates...

Also - I'm using Win3.11 for Commodore 128 HDD - solution 64HDD Professional and there is support of 3-button mouse, only needs driver for Win/DOS...

So, main usage is not Win3.11, main usage is 64HDD Pro running in Win3.11 or DOS...

So, I'm sorry... now is the Q better written...

You will not have use of the middle button in that enviornment...
Think that's what BC was sayin.

Turns out I was wrong, The Windows 3.1 SDK does in fact define WM_MBUTTONDOWN and WM_MBUTTONUP. No built-in applications use it, and very few other applications do either.

Obviously, a proper driver would be needed. (that's why you are here).

All we know is that it's a serial mouse with three buttons. That isn't a lot to go on.

I'm really sorry, but this mouse I found after lot of years and any company or model labels are damaged so, that it is not possible to know more...

...I'm using Win3.11 for Commodore 128 HDD...

Commodore 128 does DOS?
Are you running this in emulation on some other platform?
There is a New Commodore 64:  http://www.commodoreusa.net/CUSA_C64.aspx

Yes, I know that new Commodore 64 is for sale, but it's really PC platform computer with emulation only...

I'm real Commodore 128DCR / Commodore 128 flat user.

64HDD Pro allows to access FAT12/FAT16/FAT32...

So, There's not problem of data storage...

Why I'm writting about mouse?

Commodore 8-bit computers never have 3-button mouse except CMD SmartMOUSE (not possible to buy ATM).
64HDD Pro allows also to use PC-mouse for Commodores... so, I have original CBM 1351 mouse (2bttn), also Micromys, but this can allow many many things...

3-buttons or 2 buttons with wheel...

I gotcha.  64HDD Pro is something I never heard of before.  Don't know much about it.  I'll read up.

I did not know that...Thanx for the info...

Miro have you tried any of the old legacy Windows drivers ? ?

So, I have only Win3.11 on CD with MS Word & Excel + MS-DOS 6.22...

Not more than standard package...

I was searching on internet, but maybe mistaken, also FTP for Win3x and there were only drivers for Video & Audio...

Please give to me any tip or better, any link...

Many thanks.

Win3.11 is Windows for Workgroups v3.11, so networking is built-in.
Win3.1 is not the same, has to be done manually through DOS drivers.  Very difficult to accomplish.
Most corporate environments started with WFW-3.11, and then moved to WinNT3.51.  Many used both simultaneously.

For correction:

MS DOS 6.22 EN

MS Windows 3.11 For Workgroups CZ

MS Word & MS Excel are from 3x era...

Really? I didn't know Microsoft marketed such a product - where did you purchase this?

Of course it was not originally compiled by Microsoft.

I had diskettes, and later when I wanted to make any DOS archive I burned CD with this compilation...

Word & Excel are only from friend, also I don't know if there was a pack like Office in that years...
