Yes no problem, I did it by reading and writing directly to the serial port to
which the device is attached. First put the mouse in polling mode (each time a
button is pushed or the the dial twisted a message is send), then I installed a
message loop (separate process) which processes the information comming from the
mouse. The whole mouse reading is heavily based on the mglDemo program. If you
like I could send you some stuff.

Kind regards,
