I'm looking for specific information on key mapping...

Hiya'!

I'm new to the jukebox thing but not new to the forums here.  :)

Anyway, I just dug in on building a jukebox from some stuff I had sitting around and I've been reasonably successful so far.  I've done searches relating to my question prior to posting and couldn't find any pertinent information.

...and let me say this is a FANTASTIC utility.  Chris, you have my thanks and appreciation for building and maintaining something as useful as DOS/WinCab.

Here's my situation:

I'm using an older lappy with a single USB connection - Win2k.  It functions fine for music playback, audio, etc.  I've got a numeric keypad connected via USB and I've got the '+' and '-' set up as page up and page down from within WinCab.  I've got selection keys set on the numbers themselves, (which I plan on relabelling once I've got this all doped out), but I'm not sure how to go about mapping/using the '*' and '/' keys.  I'm sure there's something obvious that I've missed, but I went through the .ini files and the docs and I couldn't find any way to address this...maybe I just didn't read closely enough.  :)

SO, how DO I map the '*' and '/' to usable functions within WinCab?  ???  :)

...hopefully that all makes sense.

Thanks!

You need to remap KEY_SLASH_PAD and KEY_ASTERISK.  So in CONTROLS.INI, set these up as:

KEY_SLASH_PAD = BTN_PREVPG
KEY_ASTERISK = BTN_NEXTPG

Does that help?

That's EXACTLY what I was looking for.  I basically just needed the syntax for the keys, such as in your example - 'KEY_SLASH_PAD'.  :)

Is there a list of the keys and the syntax like that, that I can reference so that I don't have to bother anyone else?

Thank you VERY much!  :)

Chris:
All of the supported key names should be in the CONTROLS.INI that comes with the program.  I don't have them listed in the actual docs yet.

...proving myself right AND making myself feel stupid all at once.  It's gonna' be a great day.  :)

Thanks, Chris.
