There is any way to catch the keystrokes and process them ONLY in eventghost?? I want to mean, that right now, if i press a multimedia key on my keyboard the event is processed by eventghost but it's also send to the system. There is any way to change this behaviour??

Catching keyboard events
Re: Catching keyboard events
normally a key proccessed by the keyboard plugin is blocked from the OS?!
Re: Catching keyboard events
As far as I know you can't block the keypresses from going to windows. But you can stop windows from reacting to these keypresses with TweakUI for example.

From my experience, EG will prevent keystrokes from reaching other applications if there is an EG handler for the keystroke event.

That's right. But the event item and all its parent items in the tree must be enabled.jsonnabend wrote:From my experience, EG will prevent keystrokes from reaching other applications if there is an EG handler for the keystroke event.

Re: Catching keyboard events
Well, if you are right, then i'm planning to use two keyboards on two diferent screens... how? well, now i'm installed vista and both keyboards are detected as HID devices, so i can use a different identifier for each one... and that way, pass the keystrokes to diferent applications without interferences... i'll try it soon.

Re: Catching keyboard events
You cannot use two different keyboards to get distinct events.
Pressing Ctrl on KB1 and A on KB2 is the same thing as pressing Ctrl+A on KB1.

This is what terminal services / RDP is for. Dunno if they have one with the Vista experience though.
Does any Vista version contain a terminal server like XP Pro does?

@Bartman:
Yes, you are right on XP, but now, using vista, i've noticed that i can use the generic HID plugin instead the keyboard plugin (because now, my keyboards are installed as HID devices, and not when using XP), and my two keyboards are sending different identifiers to the eventghost log... I'm not 100% sure yet, but i will test it and i'll report here...
