Emulating Mouse in Applications

Once you switch to an Application either on your remote computer or a Virtual Machine you have two options:

  1. Do not show Mouse cursor and emulate Mouse clicks by taps (default setting)

  2. Make Mouse cursor and both Left and Right Mouse buttons visible.

Do not show Mouse cursor and emulate Mouse clicks by taps

In this mode (product default), you tap on the screen where you wanted to make a Mouse click. A Single finger tap will produce Left button click, double finger tap will produce Right button click. To select text or other objects simply tap and move your finger without releasing off the screen.

Make the Mouse cursor visible with both Left and Right Mouse button options

If Mouse Pointer mode is selected the Mouse cursor becomes visible on the screen. To navigate the mouse tap anywhere and move your finger in a direction you want - the Mouse cursor will follow you. You will also notice new menu at the bottom of your device screen for emulating Left Button and Right button mouse clicks (see below):
