Abstract

A method of indirectly detecting a user input including running an operating system on a computer device. The operating system receives information directly from an input device. The method also includes running an application module on the computer device. The application module is configured to receive information from the input device indirectly by monitoring changes to a textbox made by the operating system in response to information received from the input device. The method also includes generating a textbox, populating the textbox with a matrix of characters, and positioning a cursor at a predetermined starting location within the textbox by the application module. The method further includes monitoring the textbox for changes caused by the operating system, detecting a change in a position of the cursor within the textbox, and performing, by the application module, a specific action in response to a direction of movement of the cursor.
