Default Sidewinder Strategic Commander problems


Just a quick update.

I've made alot of progress on the software. I have the 3 Function Keys
working and the Slider all works fine.

I'm currently in the process of doing 2 things...

1. Changing the keypress routine to allow for Keycombo's and sequences
similar to the Original drivers.

2. Converting to Visual Studio .NET.
This will allow 2 things. First, it will be much prettier with OS
specific buttons etc. So on Vista it will look like Vista and XP will
look like XP.
It will also, hopefully, allow me to get rid of the whole timer setup
(which XP doesn't like) and provide much faster feedback. .NET handles
fast loops much better than VS6.

It has been a bit of a challenge and there is alot more work to do, but
it's coming along nicely.

I estimate about 2 weeks for the next update.
