itsmeagain_ Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 Hi, I still got a remote controller (from my TV card) with an USB receiver, now I want to start using it again to control the mp3's played under games or watch movies from my bed, but I want to choose exactly what happens with any key that I press. So I figured that if I can find out what my computer is receiving when a specified key is pressed I can make a little autoit script where in I set this keys as hotkey (with "HotKeySet") and execute a small script for every key. So does anyony knows how to find the signal that my computer is receiving and how I set it as a hotkey? Thanks in advance, Jan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erebus Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 Your remote control probably sends IR signals that the USB receiver gets and translates them to commands internally. I think that the idea of directly controlling the IR device is not so simple. What I would do as a dirty method would be to program the remote control's application to call for every button I press an AU3 script, with a different parameter each time (i.e. control.exe key1, control.exe key2) and after that do the job as you wish.
