2048 - Previous
2049 - Rewind
2050 - Play
2051 - Pause
2052 - Stop
2053 - FastForward
2054 - Next
2055 - Shuffle
2056 - Repeat
2057 - VolumeUp
2058 - Volume Down
2059 - Mute
2060 - goDVDPlayer | Menu
2061 - goRadio | Title
2062 - goXM | Eject DVD
2063 - Playlist Down
2064 - Playlist Up
2065 - Dirlist Up
2066 - Dirlist Down
2067 - Fullscreen Toggle
2068 - FrodoPlayer Exit | Unload DVD
2069 - Standby
2070 - Hibernate
2071 - Shutdown
2072 - Restart
2073 - Log Off
2074 - Lock Computer
2075 - Mode Forward
2076 - Mode Back
2077 - Mode Change
2078 - Vis Mode Cycle
2079 - Vis Mode Change
2080 - Mini Toggle
2081 - Playlist Select
2082 - Preset
2083 - Info Save
2084 - Add Favorite
2085 - Volume Up 2
2086 - Volume Down 2
2087 - Dirlist Select
2088 - Minimize
To add FFWD/RWD to MediaPlayer also use SendMessage and set this parameters:
"0x111;18812" - Rewind
"0x111;18813" - FastForward
On RoadRunner you have to use SendCopyData and choose a string from the file "Skin Commands.txt" which is applied in RoadRunners installation directory,as there are (an excerpt):
"BROWSE" - Goes into the currently selected directory
"VISU" - Starts the current visualization plugin in Winamp (NOT YET IMPLEMENTED)
"SHUFFLE/REPEAT"- Cycles through the Shuffle/Repeat settings (Music only)
"MIXER" - Brings up the Mixer screen (mixer.skin)
"MUTE" - Cycles the Mute state of the master output line of the sound card
"MASTERMUTE" - Same as "MUTE"
"VOL-" - Decreases the current master volume output level
"VOL+" - Increases the current master volume output level
"EJECT" - Open/Close the door of first CDROM drive in the machine
"PREV" - Plays Previous track in the playlist
"PREV2" - Similates the Prev of some audio systems -- 1 click restarts song, next click = "PREV"
"PLAY" - Cycles through a Play/Pause state of current song. (RR Only
"NEXT" - Plays NEXT track in the playlist
"STOP" - Stops the playback of current song. (RR Only
"PAUSE" - Pauses Music/Video or Mutes FM/XM/SIRIUS respectively
"RESUME" - Resumes Music/Video or UnMutes FM/XM/SIRIUS respectively
"GAMMA" - Switches the current Gamma Mode (Day/Night)
"LIGHTING" - Same as "GAMMA?" ?
"DESTINATOR" - Runs the Destinator GPS (now Map Monkey), using setting 'destinatorpath' in RR.INI
"MAPPOINT" - Loads Mappoint Internal Map Screen (NOT YET IMPLEMENTED)
"EXTERNAL" - Runs the External GPS application using the 'gpspath' and 'gpsname' settings from RR.INI
"CLOSE" - Closes the application currently open in the current screen
BTW: If you configure only 1 menu item for an application, it will be executed immediatelly (no menu pops up). So you're able to configure the media control buttons (Play/Pause, FWD/RWD...) of your favourite player directly in the bar. This makes it more comfortable to use, like the red buttons below:
Configuring an application sometimes needs deeper knowledge of how the app is working and the best source is to ask the developer, cause he knows best.
Set UseVoice to false and restart MWI (although, I found a bug in thisHow do you get ridd of the voice? I've set all things in the configure menu regarding voice to false, but the voice is still there?, so I'will put an updated version online today).
You don't need to close the dictionary, it disapears if you type ahead and no more words were found. The focus to switch to the dictionary is set via timer; If you set it's value to 0, no switching takes place.How can I close the dictionary? I didn't find any use for those letters yet...(in MWI that is...) I'd find it more usefull if it were only a task switching operation.
I plan do make a task switcher in AppControl someday.
I don't know if this is the same but on my PowerMate the Volume window pops up if I hold down the knob very, very short. This is because the doubleclick is supposed to open the volume setting. To avoid this, hold the button a bit longer.Also, I noticed that if you set it in configuration so that MWI toggles the volume, when toggling through the applications in MWI (so not through their options; for example: Frodo player-media player-roadrunner....) the volume aslo changes. When entering the options for an aplication this problem disapears.
Same thing happens when in dictionary of switching applications.
Thank you, you're welcomeI've used this app everyday for a few days now, and it's ABSOLUTLY FANTASTIC!!! I like it so much I use it on the home pc as well!
Zorro, you're a genius!

On Winamp use action SendKey and as param set the key you want to send. For example:
X - Play
C - Pause
B - Stop
N -Next song
Z - Previous Song
..
..
Alt, G - Show equalizer
Alt, L - Show playlist
Note that combined keys have to be separated with ","; If you need a comma use COMMA instead.
Please re-download the "Dll's only" zip and copy them over your installation.

Zorro I think you app is the perfect solution for the problem they have with osk for iguidance I wonder if there is a way they could intergrate your great app with it .I was trying to make girder call up your app and use it that way but I have had no luck
There are two things you have to care for:Zorro I think you app is the perfect solution for the problem they have with osk for iguidance I wonder if there is a way they could intergrate your great app with it .I was trying to make girder call up your app and use it that way but I have had no luck
1. You have to enable the SendMessage plugin in Grider
2. You have to adapt the IR command strings to your remote
One thing though: The GML file I've published is for Grider 3.3. I'm not sure but I guess it won't work wit 4.x
Another thing to mention: maybe it's easier to rip off a wheel mouse for 9,95 and use this instead (Cris has a nice sample). The handling with a mouse wheel is decades better than a remote, trust me
Getting old... forgot the pic:

Sorry if I missed something where did you post the gml for girder ?
Skinning to go... VisualDesigner2!
Thanks for the extra explination. That link you gave about configuring it is great.
I did that, restarted MWI and it wouldn't work. But now, after I restarted the pc it works fine.
On the other hand, with MWI loaded, the actual mouse goes mad...
For example, the left click opens the folder properties, the scroll wheel acts like a zoom tool...wierd...I close MWI and it works just fine. These kind of things happen very rare, but they do...it only happened to me two or three times since I use it.
I hardly believe that this is because MWI coz it's only monitoring mouse actions but it doesn't "inject" any mouse signals.
This might be another problem: If you're using keystrokes within AppControl, it will ensure that the addressed window is put into foreground before it sends the keys. If for any reason another window gets focused as AppCo sends the keys, your system may go nuts.
Therefore, the far better solution is to send messages, cause they can't go to another window, focused or not.

That may explain why it doesn't happen all the time. To send messages I need to know the parametres, right? So in order to make CF work, I should contact David, and ask him to send them over?
