Once installed, start using True Connect by simply dragging the PC mouse cursor off the left-hand edge of the monitor.  The cursor will appear on the mobile device, allowing the PC mouse and keyboard to directly control the device.

For an alternative method of controlling the device refer to On Screen Connect.

The following describes the input mechanisms used by True Connect.   

Wheel Mouse

Wheel Mouse Function		Device  Action
Left Click		Simulates an appropriate tap or click action for the position of the mouse cursor.  If the mouse cursor is over an executable item and left click is pressed, the item will be executed.
Right Click		Smartphone Simulates the BACK button of the mobile device.  Pressing this button will return the user through the previous navigations until the home screen is presented. Touch-Screen Device Simulates the BACK button of the mobile device.  Pressing this button performs an OK/Cancel event on the current application until the home screen is presented.
Right Click Hold		Smartphone Open the True Connect Navigation Buttons.  See "Navigation Buttons" below. Touch-Screen Device No action.  Reserved for a future release.
Wheel backwards		Simulates a DOWN action. For example if using the Start Menu a wheel backwards will move the selection down the list of menu items.
Wheel forwards		Simulates an UP action. For example if using the Start Menu a wheel forwards will move the selection up the list of menu items.
Wheel click		Simulates a joystick press action for the currently selected item.  For example if using the Start Menu a wheel click will invoke the currently selected menu item.
SHIFT Wheel forwards		Simulates a LEFT action.  For example in the month view of Calendar, SHIFT wheel forward will move the selection left one day.
SHIFT Wheel backwards		Simulates a RIGHT action.  For example in the month view of Calendar, SHIFT wheel back will move the selection right one day.
Tilt Mouse Support		If using a mouse that supports horizontal tilt movement then this peripheral will simulate the same actions as "SHIFT Wheel forwards" and "SHIFT Wheel backwards" (See above).

 

If using a mouse that does not support the wheel functionality then use the Navigation Buttons or keyboard cursor keys to achieve the same results.
