Window Capture

Capture will work with most apps, but has limitations.

Capture

On apps using older frameworks, dialog boxes and drop-down menus may not be shown.

Cursor

While OpenKneeboard’s own cursor will move, it will not move the Windows mouse cursor, as Windows only supports mouse interaction with the active window.

Mouse/tablet forwarding

  • UWP apps are not supported at all. These generally show up in task manager with a ‘Runtime Broker’ process
  • Apps with specialized mouse handling may have problems, or may work better with a tablet than the mouse

This not necessarily a bug in the apps; Windows only supports mouse interaction with the active Window. OpenKneeboard attempts to work around this restriction, but it is not how Windows, apps, or their frameworks are designed to work.

Specific apps with compatibility issues

  • Windows Calculator (UWP)
  • Map drag-and-drop in LittleNavMap
  • DCSTheWay
