Is the test application supposed to do anything?

[BOLL7708]

So I'm trying to push my own notifications through OpenVR, and this is about the only project that actually has code for it in C#. Sadly the code does not seem to work with the latest versions of the C# wrapper, and building the test application in the repo gives me a form that seemingly does nothing but log mouse clicks... ?

Has this code been working before?

As it was nine months since the last update I'm guessing this is a dead project, but I figured I could leave a note here anyway as I've been trying to figure this out for many months now :P Cheers!

Hey, yes the project is inactive at the moment. I've been busy and I have little to no time to keep it updated. With every OpenVR update I need to add some Handles that aren't included by Valve in the C# wrapper to access notifications (specifically the one used in the code that you highlited). The test application it's supposed to mirror a form to an overlay in steamvr and emulate mouse events with the motion controller. I'll commit some changes and update to the latest OpenVR version. I noticed that there's still a version of SteamVr.cs from the unity plugin in the project since it has no purpose I'll remove that too. Once I'll have more time I'll try to make a more meaningfull​ example project and I'll find a better way to patch the handles needed in the wrapper.

Thanks for replying :) Cross-referencing code all over the place I actually managed to get a wee bit forward this weekend, or at least that's what I think. I'll probably take it easy for a while but this is the last result. No idea how to fix it or what I've forgotten but yeah, at least something is happening.

I'll spend some time checking out your openvr_api.cs, had no idea you had actually modified it :) Cheers!

I pushed a commit with the new wrapper and I also generated a diff patch between Valve's version and the one used in the project. I don't know why they left those methods out.

The test application still has some issues with mouse event simulation but the notification api should be good to go.

I do use the NuGet package, is that an involved process to update or can it be connected to GitHub? I see the release branch has 0.0.3 but from NuGet I still get 0.0.0.2 ?

As a side note, Valve finally added notifications to the C# header after I poked them again. 😁
