hope this finds you well.

I have been wondering if there are any updates regarding qt integration of the spacemouse sdk.

I found this old post https://forum.3dconnexion.com/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=4968 but all the source code files are not present anymore and I don't think I'm skilled enough to rewrite it given the information present in the forum (here's the updated link to the post https://www.codegardening.com/post/2011/2011-02-05-using-the-3dconnexion-mouse-with-a-qt-application/) and honestly it looks strange to me that Qt has not yet made any integration packages for 3d connexion devices.

I am using Visual Studio 16 on a Windows machine in a Qt6 VTK9.2 OpenCV project

I have tried the basic windows way using window handlers but I can't make it work (no input read) as soon as I pass the handler to the qMainWindow as HWND(mainWindow.winId()), while it works fine if I create a dedicated window to read the data.

Could you please give me some suggestions or point me to some resources?

You can try to implement SpaceMouse integration using the official SDK (registration required) and using this example from a Qt-based application.

  • Thanks for your answer! Is there a small code sample you could provide showing (a part of) the functionality? Examples elsewhere on the web sometimes don't last as long as StackOverflow questions. – Andrew Dolby Mar 17 '23 at 12:00
