Monitor mouse clicks, position and scroll.

• Send position to a Text source.
• Send clicks for mouse button 1, 2 and 3 to a Text source.
• Send horizontal and veritcal scroll to a Text source.

The mouse input values are passed to a Text source.

The User creates text sources to store and display incoming position, click and scroll values.

A text source is used because changes to a text source are easily observed by WebSocket clients. When a text source is updated an "InputSettingsChanged" event is sent to webSocket clients. See the Mouse Overlay Example tutorial for a complete example.
