dual monitor, keyboard and mouse support

Does anyone know if there is a way to support dual devices in CVI?  The general idea i would like to implement is a dual station program, but only using one computer.  I believe dual monitor isn't a big issue, and I would think that two keyboards would just act as one anyway which is ok for now.  Is there a way to get two mouse cursors to display and only react to one mouse, or even reconize there are two mice attached and behave differently depending which one is used?

Thanks

Currently, the Windows operating system does not provide a solution to create two mouse cursors which can be independently controlled, nor do they have a solution which allows the cursor to be controlled differently based on two independent mice.  There are a few open source solutions that claim to be able to provide some of the functionality you require.  If you would like to try one of these solutions I would suggest that you Google 'multiple independent mouse cursors'.
