RealityRipple/Mouse-Manager

MouseManager is a desktop utility for managing mouse and keyboard input, featuring global hooks to intercept and suppress system events. The application enforces a single-instance execution model and manages user configuration via the Windows Registry. Recent updates have shifted the build configuration to support Any CPU architectures and simplified the project structure.

The application can now run multiple instances simultaneously, as the single-instance enforcement has been disabled. Additionally, the application will no longer automatically save user settings on exit, meaning users must manually save their configuration changes. The assembly version has also been updated to 3.1.

MouseManager/My Project · high confidence

The MouseManager application now features a redesigned configuration system that stores settings in the Windows Registry, including a migration path for legacy settings. Mouse and keyboard hook classes have been restructured to use custom event argument classes (XButtonEventArgs, KeyEventArgs) that support a 'Handled' property, allowing the application to suppress default behavior. Additionally, the codebase introduces a new Authenticode class for verifying code signatures and a NativeMethods class to centralize Windows API declarations, while also adding a utility for enforcing HTTPS connections on modern operating systems.

MouseManager/Classes · high confidence

The application now uses a custom SingleInstance class with named pipes and mutexes to ensure only one instance runs, bringing other windows to the foreground if a second instance is launched. It also includes an Authenticode signature check at startup to warn users if the executable is unsigned or corrupted, and handles command-line arguments for uninstallation and multi-instance communication.

MouseManager · high confidence

The MouseManager solution has been updated to target Any CPU architecture rather than x86. This change allows the application to run natively on both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows systems, potentially improving performance and compatibility on modern 64-bit operating systems.

(repo-wide) · high confidence

The project file was refactored to target AnyCPU instead of x86, removing specific platform constraints. The build configuration was simplified by removing XML documentation generation, disabling debug/trace defines, and removing empty WarningsAsErrors blocks. The application icon and manifest certificate references were updated to new resource paths. Additionally, several standard .NET framework references (System.Xml, System.Xml.Linq, System.Collections, System.Drawing, System.Windows.Forms, System.Xml.Linq) were removed or reordered, and the PostBuildEvent was cleared.
