Title: RW Key Factory
Post by: st_claire on May 03, 2007, 06:33:28 pm

Hey,

I'm trying to use my ATI Remote Wonder with WinCab. I'm using RW Key Factory to have the remote simulate keyboard key presses. I've tested it in notepad, the the arrow keys and number keys both work as expected. When in WinCab, when using the real keyboard, the arrow keys change the pages while the number keys select the song to play. But when I press the remote buttons, nothing happens. Any ideas?

Thanks so much.

This isn't likely to work.  To catch keys such as Shift and Ctrl and to tell the difference between left and right versions, I have to look at the actual keyboard hardware via DirectInput.  I'm willing to bet that RW Key Factory inserts keyboard messages into the Windows GDI, which I never see because I don't look at the Wiindows message queue.
