ISSUE-33 - Public View

ONGOING: Multiple devices generating events

State:
OPEN
Product:
DOM 3 Events
Raised by:

Opened on:
2006-02-24
Description:
Not for this version.

What do we do when there are multiple input devices - two mice, a set of 
numbered styli, multiple pens on a whiteboard, several keyboards, etc etc...

This is actually two issues: multiple devices mapping to one abstract representation (e.g. three mice 
and 
one cursor), and multiple abstract representations (e.g. multiple cursors).

Waiting on ACTION-86 to find out from the MMI group
