Exclusive Event Handling Help Required.

Post by Broads »

I have now setup my Event keymap to the point where I am happy that my 360 controller now runs my app (xbmc) fine.

My problem is however that I also use joy2mouse to control my windows operations.
With my App Config enabled and joy 2 mouse enabled simultaniously there is clashing.
When moving the mouse to a button and then moving the mouse slightly causes the keydown event, which shfits focus. Which obviously has some disatourous consequences.

What I want to do is make my key map exclusive to my application.

I have created a folder with all my keypress maps in.
I have also created a macro for start application and set the folder to exclusive.


However the keymap still runs.? Huh.

So I tried disabling the folder.

This then worked... To a degree, whilst using windows joy2mouse ran fine, and their were no interuptions from event ghost.

Then when I start my app. The keymap kicks in and all is great.!

However once I close my application the APP folder was enabled again, and the application start macro was disabled.


It must be something simple.. but I'm not having much luck. If anyone else can help, I would appreciate.

You can assign the Task.Destroyed.xxxx event to trigger a macro, that then will disable you "key" folder.
Please post software-related questions in the forum - PMs will only be answered, if really private, thanks!
