Logitech Keyboard - Media Keys

Post by ammmze »

I was wondering if anybody knows of a way that I can get eventghost to respond to the media keys on logitech's keyboards. (I have an S510). Anyways, what I would like is to have the play, pause, next, and previous buttons send an ir signal from my usb-uirt to my zune dock. However, when I press one of the buttons, it doesn't show up in the log. I have tried all the Logitech HID devices and the keyboard device. No luck.

I did find though, that in the logitech software I have it send keys to a specific program/window. So i wrote a little program that can take those keys and so now it can recognize them. I had to add the following line to the players.ini. Which is found in the Logitech\SetPoint folder in your program files directory.

Code: Select all

LogiEG=key,LogiEG.exe,WindowsForms10.Window.8.app.0.33c0d9d,LogiEG,xxx,L,L,S,P,N,0,0,LogiEG
So basically as long as that program is running, then when I press the play button it will send the key "L" to that program, and stop sends "S", and next and previous send "N" and "P" (respectively). But now how could I get these to get registered in eventghost. I am using VB.net and I tried SendKeys, however it doesn't register it still. I am guessing that this probably requires a plugin for eventghost.

Hopefully someone can help.

Well I used Generic HID for my G15 and use the first one that shows and the media controls show up perfectly fine in EventGhost. So I know the Logitech keyboard works fine with HID.

example my stop media button. HID.Button.4

I just figured it out. I had to uncheck the enduring events and it was the third one down for me. but they all showed up as HID.Button.None then I enabled use raw data and now they show up as HID.100303CD000000, HID.100303B7000000, etc.

Thanks for the help!
