Detect running program and disable bluetooth

[darksupernova]

Hi Guys,

I've been playing with eventghost for a while and have learnt a lot from the forums, but cannot figure this one out.

I would like eventghost to detect when I run a program, such as steam.exe and disable bluetooth. When steam.exe closes I would like it to re-enable my bluetooth dongle. Is this possible? If so, how do I do it?

Kind regards,

Mx

First you can use some thing like http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/device_manager_view.html and with it use a .bat file to enable and disable any device on your computer. Run the program once and find the exact name of the device you want to enable and disable. (For my purposes my example is my webcam.) I just copied the DevManView.exe to my d: drive for this example. You also might want to set the Window options to "Hidden"

Using the plugin "Process Watcher" use the event Process.Created.Steam This will disable the Bluetooth by run by the Start Application macro

Then when the event Process.Destroyed.Steam is done just run a different Start Application with /enable

You could also do it with the DevCon utility from Microsoft. See the following links for information on how to obtain and use DevCon:
