Exiting Mame with no Buttons on Cab (Touchscreen)

I whipped up a prototype virtual button program for you, and it all works except that I can't get it to appear on top of MAME. It appears on top of Mala fine. Don't have any more time to look at it today but maybe someone else can.
I posted everything to my site including source code here: http://www.lalena.com/MAME/VirtualButton.html
All parameters are command line based. I'm lazy.

Problem you will be having is the mame window is directx, if you are just making a form stay on top it will not be ontop of that.

Thanks Sir Headless VII! This program is exactly what I was talking about. It works great for closing a few other programs like winamp visualizations but I'm having some trouble with it in MAME. The same problem that mlalena ran into while making the virtual button app is happening. It seems that MAME either completely takes over all keyboard/mouse inputs until it is closed, or it doesn't allow 3rd party applications to send keypresses.
In other words:
- the mouse gesture program (strokeit) is up and running and working as it's supposed to
- I've configured it to send "ESCAPE" to mame on select mouse gestures
- While in MAME, StrokeIt appears to recognize the gestures, but nothing happens in mame
- Tried with many different keys set as "Cancel UI" in the Tab menu
anyone know any way around this?

OK. Maybe making my app DirectX also might help. It doesn't look that difficult given that all I am doing is showing a form with a label on it & one click event handler. I won't be able to get to this until tonight.

LMK when you get yours. Need a photo of the wiring. I accidentally busted the USB part and 3 wires were loose and e-mailed griffin for wiring but did not want to give the info to me.
There are 5 wires inside the USB connector (cover easily remove). 2 are attached but 3 need to be re-soldered in the right USB pin.
