De-toggle / release all none EG actions from remote control?

[Biff]

How could I de-toggle / release all none EG actions from the remote control? Some, respectively most of the keys are already toggled / in use by - I guess - mostly Windows programs, functions, e.g. Win Media Center, toggled with foobar, with the Multi Media Keys.

These keys by default toggled make it inconvenient / impossible to use the remote control useful.

There are some registry tricks to remap those keys to make them do nothing, but it doesn't work for all of them (ie volume keys).

I Think of this problem for a long time now. From what I have understood the only way to have a reliable solution would be a separate app with 2 proccess.
the first process would process raw data from hid devices, the second process would implement a global Kb Hook, that would block the keys flagged as "unwanted" by the first process.
This thing needs 2 process because MS API's won't allow HID Raw Input and Global KB Hook to run in the same process.
The inter process communication might be tricky.

I might try to write something one day ...

Thanks, miljbee,

It sounds extremely complicated and error prone...but...I am wondering how all the other guys do it, they must have the same problem...very strange.

You can find "tricks" to address this problem in the HIP Forum

Many thanks for the link, but that's to complicated for me, I do not even get EvenGhost running.

Thanks again.
