Actually, no ! The more we try this, the less I believe it's the best
way to proceed.
We would like to get the precise movement (in real time) of an embedded
system. So we will put two mice on it. Now our (big) problem is to get
these information (simultaneously) via the windows API.
I found some files in .\WINCE420\PUBLIC\COMMON\OAK\DRIVERS\USB\USBD.
Does anyone think that I can use those files to get the informations
directly from the driver. Or is there a lower lever API than
getmousemovepoint I didn't find ?

Well, I don't really understand how to use WM_MOUSEMOVE. But I think
this is not what we are looking for because of the references to the
mouse button and the windows, that we won't have as we don't need
graphical interface.

Thanks in advance.
