Send keyboard key command to minimized/non active screen

[THX-UltraII]

I have a program running on my PC that has keyboard shortcuts support. The problem is that this program (a control panel) only 'receives' these keyboard shortcuts when this control panel is active/on the foreground/maximized. Is Evenghost able to send a keyboard shortcut to this control panel when it is not active/minimized and it does recieve these keyboard shortcuts.

Yes it can.

Thanks for your reply again zian. Can you explain how?

ah, you are trying to let me search myself
Your nethod pays off!
But unfortunately I cannot seem to get it working.

Here s what I did:
The CTRL+A keyboard shortcut takes care of the Master MFX slider to decrease. I added a button on my remote and it works fine when the D-Box control panel is the active window (it is screenshot 1 where it works fine). But when I click eg. on my desktop (so the mci control panel is not the active window anymore) it does not work anymore.
So...... I found the ACTION 'find a window' that I can add to the macro. So I dragged the finder to the mci control panel window (screenshot 2) which resulted in screenshot 3. I clicked on APPLY and OK and my macro result is screenshot 4.

Unfortunately it does not work...... Is there anything I could be doing wrong here zian?

What I also found out today it that my D-Box program has IP support. Is there a way I can do something with this with Evenghost?

And here is the TCP IP guide that D-Box send me (which I completely DO NOT understand a thing from ):

THX-UltraII, You should place "Bring to Front", after the "Find Window:" (to make a window an active)...

thxz. Will try this tonight but I don t think this is going to work for me because I want to be able to send key commands to my D-Box Control Panel while I m watching a movie on the same PC. This means that my MPC-HC will lose focus right?

Can you say if TCP IP is supported by Eventghost?

[THX-UltraII]

I was right about it, it does work but not the way I want it to. My media Player needs to be kept on top always (while watching the movie).
Is Eventghost not able to send a key command exclusive to a program by my choise (that of course is running).

If not, the RS232 or TCP IP thing is the next step I need to look at but I have no clue how to start with this.....

Don't bring to front.

BTW...
How do you watch a movie without us there helping' ya?

But if i remove the 'bring to front' action something goes wrong because the Control Panels does not respond (read: key commands are not received)
