Another simple programs...

[felipe]

I hope there's no problems for posting so simple codes (i'm just learning) here, but if there is, please let me know.

So these two funny programs (at least they are funny for me) would do this: The program named 'left' would change your mouse buttons to a lefthand configuration. The program named 'right' would restore the default configuration (the opposed if you are a lefthand user with the 'normal' configuration of the mouse buttons already changed.)

Give it a try if you want, it's funny!    :t  :icon14:  :icon13:   :lol:

Hi felipe,

No problems at all, you are doing it the right way, small examples that do one thing at a time with clear predictable results. I have one suggestion for you, unless you are using a very old machine, you don't have to restrict MASM to only using 386 instructions. Try this as it allows you to use the later instructions.

    .686p                           ; create 32 bit code
    .mmx
    .xmm
    .model flat, stdcall            ; 32 bit memory model
    option casemap :none            ; case sensitive

Thanks a lot Hutch!  :t

Minor point: Instead of
  c:\masm32\
use
  \masm32\

... so that people who are using e.g. D:\Masm can test your code immediately.

Good point JJ, thanks a lot!  :t
