Is it possible to actuate alt+C with event timer?

Post by jimdays »

I have windows xp sp3 with EventGhost_0.4.1.r1582. I have a video capture program, Arcsoft, that I want to schedule a capture period (like programing a VCR to record for an interval). With Arcsoft up and running, if I press alt+c, this will start/stop the capture. So my question is, is it possible with Eventghost to actuate the alt+c two times, according to some future schedule, for example, at 6pm-7pm, when the current time is 8am?

You can do this with a few different plugins. Shedulghost or Scheduler are the easiest. With either one just make two scheduled times for it to make events. Then use the action "Emulate Keystroke" for the ALt+C. You might have to add the "find window" action before the keystroke to make sure it goes to the intended application.
