I got a program for dmx-lightning and i want to control it with a midicontroller
like the midibox64 (midibox.org)!

The problem is the program do not support any midicontrol!

There are many faders on the screen and they get controlled with my touchscreen!

Is it possible to use miditranslator for this problem?

I thought i can say to miditranslator fader 1 is from 10x10 to 10x110 pixels
and the translator shoult control this fader with mouse-emulation by midi-in!

But i don´t know how i can loose this problem!

Is it possible to loose this problem with miditranslator?
If yes I would bye it!

Would be great when someone can help me!

The mouse movement and click emulation capabilities of MIDI Translator PRO should allow you to do this...

You must think like you would moving a mouse. First you have to place the mouse cursor over the fader that you want to move. Then you have to have MT press the mouse button and hold. After that, you have to move the mouse cursor down or up according to your MIDI controller fader movements. Then when you're done moving it, release the mouse button...

So your series of events should look something like this;

Code: Select all

Fader 1 Movement
1.  Position Mouse Cursor to last known on-screen fader position
2.  Send a 'Mouse Button Click Only Down' event
3.  Move the mouse position to the new value in reference to the MIDI fader
4.  Send a 'Mouse Button Click Only Up' event

It could be a difficult thing to set up, but it's definitely possible. I'd be more than happy to help you with it tho.
