Point and Click on-screen remote

[jlubin]

I would like to make a simple on screen remote to send codes to the cable receiver.

I have created macros for each key on the DCT-2000 remote to transmit the IR code with the USB-UIRT. I can move up and down the tree and press F5 to transmit the code. That works great.

I downloaded http://www.eventghost.org/downloads/Webserver_Demo.zip
It looks like what I would like to do, but I have not been able to figure out how to modify it to transmit the codes I have in my Tree.

Here is part of my file:

How do I make an on-screen remote where I can just click on it to send the "MenuUp" macro?

Click to send the "Science Chan" macro?

Any help and example would be apprciated!

Do you see the HTML-remote through your webrowser as http://localhost/ ?
Do you see the events in EG if you press a button?
Then you only have to drop the event to the appropriate macro and that's all.

Got it! That was easy once you mentiond that step.

I just clicked on the button on the web page, the event showed in EG. Just click the event and dragged it to the macro. Clicked the button on the web page and it worked!

Thanks!
