EventGhost

Okay, I found the exception text in the HID.py module.

Since this seems to work okay when I use the raw mode in the plugin, I guess this is probably more of an implementation error with my mouse, rather than a bug in EG. So never mind, I guess (unless you want to specially handle those values and ...

I did a little more testing. By placing some debug code in the RawCallback and ButtonCallback functions, I figured out that the exception is popping up before the callbacks are actually entered. But I can't figure out what's happening in front of the callbacks...

After the callbacks are registered ...

Hi, all.

I have the iHome wireless laser mouse. Here's a link to the product

I'm trying to map the zoom in/out buttons with EG, and I get a weird error on the HID plugin when pressing the zoom buttons:

When I press the - button, I get: invalid index for dataIndexType 8195/897
When I press the ...

Are you guys on Windows 7? After upgrading to Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit, started noticing the same problems. It's affecting other programs, too: none of the keyboard shortcuts work in PowerDVD, for example (I need it in order to play Blu-Ray discs.)

The Gyration remotes work fine with Vista. They emulate a keyboard and mouse, and you can use the HID events to handle the special keys that don't map directly to regular keystrokes. The Gyration remotes are also the only remotes with a built in mouse... not clunky mouse emulation, moving things ...

About your first question: EG has a plugin specifically for WinAmp. As far as i know, there's no iTunes plugin yet for EventGhost.

As to your second question: I don't think the OSD will display the time left on a timer. You could probably do it with a Python script action, but you'd have to script ...

:roll:

So back to the original question.

Is it possible to create a web page that actually interacts with EG, tracking the state of active applications, and using that to dynamically build the appropriate menus on demand?

Yes, it can be done very easily.

Perhaps the simplest method that ...

I won't get in to a web server debate; there's no point. I will say that if it were a steaming pile, the company I work for wouldn't be using it exclusively in a mutli-billion dollar application that's used by law enforcement, EMS, and government agencies all over the country.

If you know ASP or ...

Okay, I gotcha.

You can do all of that with ASP; I can think of several ways to accomplish that.

In any event, you'd use XP's (or Windows Server) built in web server, and the action links (Play, pause, etc) would either link to EG's own web server or would be activated by COM. In fact, with COM ...

The forum does use a captcha on the registration page. My guess is that a human operator posed those messages, or at least logged in the first time.

The thing is, there's no spam system that's 100% effective that doesn't also turn off new users. I don't know about you, but if I had to go through a ...

How would you choose how these items are selected? I'm still trying to figure out precisely what you mean.

What, specifically, did you have in mind?

I don't know what all EG's web server is capable of; I haven't researched it enough to even know if it's capable of being scripted, but you can certainly build ASP pages and just direct links to trigger EG's web server.... and since ASP uses VBScript or ...

Nope. You can't share serial ports; only one program can have a serial port open at a time.

There are 2 ways to work around the problem:
1. Have Girder and EG both close the port after sending a message, but that's a send-only solution, and it would require changes to the source code of both ...

I'm using the term service hack to allow concurrent sessions.

I could use that... what's the trick?

Actually, the UIRT has 3 outputs: It has the internal emitter, and you can plug 2 emitters in to the stereo jack on the back (you need a Y connector for that.)

You can also run more than 1 emitter from a single channel; I had 4 emitters hooked up at one point (a TV I had came with a 4-emitter cable ...
