Melinda,
this way it works, thank you. But is there any way to stop autorotation? When I "click" screen I can make a twist sometimes, but on the everrotating model it is completely random :)
BTW, I tried MC4D on Tablet PC. And there were two problems:
First, it’s very difficult to make "firm" click with the pen - cursor always moves one or two pixels, and program treats it as the rotation of the model. The same problem I have with the mouse navigation in the desktop mode - most mice are too light to make confident clicks, sometimes I have to make 5 or 6 clicks to perform a single twist. In my programs I count mouse moves between "Down" and "Up" events, and if it is 3 pixels or less, consider this event as "click", otherwise as "drag".
Another thing is that I can’t make ctrl-click without keyboard. May be, we should have a mask with "ctrl","shift" and "1,2,…5" checkboxes on the control pane (that should work for next one/all clicks and drags)?
