Probably a newb question but here it is anyway

Post by 110220Volts »

I have a Microsoft MCE Remote (The good one that uses the ehome driver structure, It was from the XP MCE days but Windows 7 picked it no problem) and I have Windows 7 ultimate so far so good!. And now my question is...
How do I make a macro or event function only when the called upon application is in focus? I use zoom player and Winamp the most but I don't want it sending commands to zoom player when it is out of focus or even closed and vice versa
I know this is probably a simple question but it is something I don't know how to do
Thank you for any replies

You need to use exclusion macros. The basic EG configuration has some examples. Basically, find an event that shows up in your log when the desired windows get focus, and use that to trigger the exclusions.
