Use media keys ..

[Maurice]

Hey,

I've been using some program to control WMP in the past, but it stopped functioning and so on.

I've now checked and I could simply send the commands to WMP (Microsoft has a shortcut list on their page) with autoit3.

The only problem is that I haven't seen how to make media keys (Those things on the top of your keyboard) as hotkeys.

If all else fails, I can use TweakUI to bind these keys to seperate au3 files but that's not how I'd like it.

So, how do I bind media keys to hotkeys?

I'd like to use the Volume down and up, as well as the media center keys.

Thanks.

HotKeySet("{LAUNCH_MEDIA}", "_Open")

HotKeySet("{MEDIA_PLAY_PAUSE}", "_PlayPause")

HotKeySet("{MEDIA_NEXT}", "_Next")

HotKeySet("{MEDIA_PREV}", "_Previous")

HotKeySet("{MEDIA_STOP}", "_Quit")

HotKeySet("{VOLUME_UP}", "_VolumeUp")

HotKeySet("{VOLUME_DOWN}", "_VolumeDown")

HotKeySet("{VOLUME_MUTE}", "_VolumeMute")

The functions listed above are my functions....but the hotkeys are listed here.

The following works fine with my system, but If the media controls are not working for you, not sure if this will help.

HotKeySet('{VOLUME_DOWN}', '_handle_hk')
HotKeySet('{VOLUME_UP}', '_handle_hk')

While 1
    Sleep(100)
WEnd

Func _handle_hk()
    Local $sHK
    $sHK = @HotKeyPressed   
    HotKeySet($sHK)
    Send($sHK)
    HotKeySet($sHK , '_handle_hk')  
EndFunc
