I just found this site after I made my first pen and installed all the software.

Everything works great except in power point and I would venture to say in all of Office2007.

I tried to "review" the slides in ink on Word and power point and power point in slide show mode.   

I love the setup with the wii Great job Johnny.

You may want to give the Kindlelab project a try ... it gives you the ability to create slideshows drawing works on any resource you bring in as well (images, movies, etc.) -- its really an ideal project creation tool for the wiimote whiteboard -- might check it out at http://www.kindlelab.com

This does not solve the problem with powerpoint

If there is a problem with PowerPoint, there will be problems with other software

I appreciate the link, however, to use this in a teaching setting where the powerpoints are already in place I need it to work with power point to be effective.

the whiteboard software works with older powerpoint versions.

it works with office xp and office 2002, but unfortunately there is no function to save your drawing... it seems, that microsoft changed the drawing routine form office2003 upwards...

very strange why this won't work... i've found no other application where the whiteboard software doesn't work.

hope anybody found a solution for this problem.

I think it has something to do with the mouseevents. could be something with the mousedown, mouseup and mouseclick etc stuff?

I found the solution for this problem.

I think powerpoint uses different way of getting the mouseevent from other applications.
Change the method of setting the mouse position, and it will work well.

Change the code in this way.

Line 68-71 of Form1.cs:
long
->
uint

Line 192 of Form1.cs:
SetCursorPos((int)warpedX, (int)warpedY);
->
mouse_event(MOUSEEVENTF_ABSOLUTE | MOUSEEVENTF_MOVE, (uint)(warpedX * 65535 / screenWidth), (uint)(warpedY * 65535 / screenHeight), 0, 0);

I attached the fixed version of wii whiteboard.

does this make the drawing in paint smoother as well? Smiley (guess so, now it's setting the mouse somewhere, instead of moving it there;)

Thanks!  Your modified version works under PowerPoint 2003 in Windows XP SP2 for me.
