Hi to you all!

Before I start with the project I'd like to inform myself and read the articles. I am working on a new project with my classmate from university. The theme is "tracking" and we decided to make a WPF program where the movement of a mouse is tracket troughout the day/week and after recording the mouse movement in the background, coordinates would be  stored in log txt file, you could see the diagram of where the mouse is most active, where the most clicks are made on the screen etc. Any ideas where I could read the documentation, Github projects I could use or any other tutorials except Microsoft Documentation?

Thank you!

What I have tried:

We haven't tried anything yet, I'm just informing myself before starting the project.

Research is part of the project: you can't start anything until you have a good idea what you are doing!
So start here: tracking the mouse C# - Google Search[^] and follow some links. That should give you a starter to look for more specific information, when you have worked out what you need to know.

And don't exclude MS documentation - it may be difficult to read sometimes, but it is definitive (and mostly correct and accurate, which is more than you can say for many random web sources)

Solution 2

Start here: [^], [^], [^]

Come back with code and specific questions.

I wonder how you could manage the possibly enormous amount of data the monitoring you describe might generate.

I thought I'd leave that as an exercise for the developer - after all, it's not going to slow my system to a crawl ... :laugh:

I was just thinking about removing my post since it's incompatible with my nascent persona as curmudgeon with zero tolerance for no-lift-a-finger questions ... mmmmm ...

You sir? Nah - just a phase you are going through, I suspect.
I thought that was my job title!

List you softies, if anyone's a curmudgeon it is yours truly.

I think the Gold Medal goes to Mr Curmudgeon himself:

He's gone quiet again; probably some new series on OZ TV.
