New to EventGhost

Hi All

Not sure if this is the correct place to post, so I appologise now.

I am currently building a smart controller system to control all functions in my home.. The system is basically a PC with a Touch Screen Panel. At the moment I want to control my TV, Cable, DVD Audio ect. I have setup a USB-UIRT with EventGhost and have recorded all the required IR codes to control my equipment, everything works and tested, EventGhost can activate all equipment.

Now what I want to do is create my own Front End for my touchscreen, I am using Visual Basic Studio 2005 to create my touchscreen, what I want to do is use the onclick events on my VB buttons to activate a specific macro in EventGhost, just cant figure this part out.

Is this possibe?

Cheers

Yes, you can use the web interface of EG

From VB you could send navigation url's for each function you need to activate. Suppose you have created a vera nice GUI in VB. When you click/touch a button this onclick event will send a url request. In this forum "how to" use the web interface of EG has been described several times. Try a search.

You can use the built-in ActiveX/COM server EventGhost and method TriggerEvent(PrintableString) or
TriggerEvent(PrintableString, Payload).
See EventGhost.vbs script in folder plugins/MediaMonkey.
