phoCo remote control w RR??

**liquid_smoke** · 07-18-2005, 01:41 AM

Testing out RR for a few hours now, im not sure if this is a bug with RR or PhoCo or just not supported, but i cant get the remote control feature to work when i use PhoCo embeded in RR. If i run PhoCo standalone my remote keymaps work fine.
All other features of PhoCo work fine.
I searched too but didnt see anyone with this issue, i dont think many people even use this feature of PhoCo.

thanks

I believe Mr. Fabio uses that feature.. You have to set the keys you want to use in ExecTBL.INI to execute the commands you wish RR to perform.. You can find out the keycodes by running the keycode tool in RR's folder and pressing the buttons in your phone to simulate the keypresses... that is, if that's what you're trying to do..

im not sure if i understand fully, or even if you understand me.
But, when i run phoCo standalone i have the ability to move the mouse from my phone and also send keyboard shortcuts.

this link is the feature of PhoCo im talking about.

Is something special needed when phoco is running in embeded mode?

You can try running phoco first, then RR to see if that works.. it might be the -remote/NoDesign parameter RR uses to load Phoco that is disabling something (wasn't supposed to)..

that works, but im left with the PhoCo minimize icon covering up RR, it dosent seem to want to leave even when you set phoco to startup=hidden.
This may also bring up other issues as there is no way to control which app is started first when windows boots. Is there a way to force phoco to startup minimized to the tray or taskbar?

That you should ask in the Phoco forum.. I have no idea... Also you may want to ask about the issue of the "remote control" feature not working when phoco is started in remote mode...

been doing a little more testing trying to work this issue out.
Im posting back here because i think this is actually a RR issue.
When i create a shortcut to phoco and in the target box put "C:\Program Files\PhoneControl.NET\PhoneCtl.NET.exe" -remote
phoco starts up in remote mode and "remote control" works just as if normal mode.

Does RR start PhoCo differently than this? In RRconfig under Phone there is an option to check "Use -remoteNoDesign" but checking and unchecking this box dosent do anything RR still loads PhoCo hidden

I think i know what the problem is now,
compareing the log file for phoco running normaly, running in remote mode activated by me using a shortcut and running remote mode activated by RR
It seems that when RR loads phoco, i get the error "KeyMaps\Mouse.KeyMap.xml not found content is misspelled!!"
but this error only happens when RR launches PhoCo?

***********
PROBLEM FIXED

by copying the keymap folder from inside the PhoCo install dir and into the RR install Dir everything works! I guess when RR is launching PhoCo, somehow PhoneCo is looking for files inside of the RR dir instead of its own dir, should this happen?

I probably need to launch Phoco from it's own path.. either that or you can specify the FULL path for the keymap files (if that's even possible)..

i just copied the keymap folder into the root dir of RR and that works fine.
but launching it from its own path may help fix other issues people were or are having (not sure)

I'm also using this feature. Try this instead of copy the folder to the RR path :

In PhoneCtlConfig.xml (Phoco path) specify the full path of the keymap folder like me :
<UseKeyMap locked="False">c:\Programmi\PhoneControl\KeyMaps\R R.KeyMap.xml</UseKeyMap>

This should solve your problem without copy PhoCo folders to RR.
