UControl

Have you often found yourself trying to control two computers at once, and getting confused like which keyboard and which mouse goes with which? WTF!

UniC is here to solve the problem, you no longer need two keyboards or mice, with UniC, you can share your mouse and keyboard with all your PCs without getting confused, it even saves you money from buying mice and keyboards.

Right now most of the features are not yet available, but they will be available soon.

This version is based on Java Swing

Getting Started

The project is organized as follows :

• client

  • connect
    • MakeConnection.java - Connect to server using a Socket with IP Address and Port.
  • handlers - Contains handlers for all events.
    • KeyboardEventHandler.java - Manages key events such as key press and key release.
    • MouseEventHandler.java - Manages mouse events such as mouse movements and mouse clicks.
    • MouseObserver.java - Observes the mouse movements and determines if screens should change.
    • LocalMouseMotionListener.java - Listens for mouse events on the local screen (client screen).
    • RemoteMouseMotionListener.java - Listens for mouse events on the remote screen (remote screen).
  • interfaces
    • OnChangeScreenListener.java - Called when screen is switched.
    • OnMouseMoveListener - Called when mouse is moved.

• ipaddress

  • GetFreePort.java - Get port from open ports (It first checks if chosen port is available chose a new port if false).
  • GetMyIpAddress.java - Get IP addresses of all interfaces of the PC running the server.
