Emulate Keyboard for FFDShow shortcuts doesn't work

Post by zeflash »

EventGhost build 1103;

It's a bit weird, I'm sure it used to work;
I have a button on my remote to toggle the ffdshow OSD when playing back a video.
This is done by sending the ctrl-alt-o keyboard shortcut.
It's not working anymore. It might have worked when I tried in Vista, but in XP it doesn't, alternate method or not. I also tried to send the shortcut to any of subwindows of the player app, without luck.

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<EventGhost Version="1107">
    <Macro Name="ffdshow Toggle OSD" Expanded="True">
        <Action Name="Find ffdshow message window">
            Window.FindWindow(None, None, u'ffdshow_remote_class', None, None, 1, True, 0.0, 0)
        </Action>
        <Action>
            Window.SendKeys(u'{Ctrl+Alt+O}', False)
        </Action>
    </Macro>
</EventGhost>
Make sure ffdshow option "Process keypresses even if not in focus" is enabled.
