Windows 7 MC: How To Show Skip Preview & On Screen Keyboard?

Post by cncb »

Windows 7 Media Center has two "special" functions that can be accessed with an MCE remote. I'm trying to figure out how to do this with Eventghost as I don't have an MCE remote.

1) Skip preview window: This is a little preview window that shows above the time bar and is accessed with the remote by holding down on the "skip forward" button. Holding down on "Ctrl+F" on the keyboard doesn't work.

2) On screen keyboard: This is shown for a text input box by pressing "Ok" on the remote. "Enter" doesn't seem to work. Double-clicking the text box with a mouse shows it but I can't see a way to "find" the text box in Evenghost to simulate a double-click.

Is there a way to send messages to the Media Center window to achieve this? Thanks for any help.

I found a registry entry to allow for #2 but does anyone have any ideas for #1?
