virtual remote application

[dbbd]

Using TCP receiver and sender, I was able to create a macro
triggered by a keyboard event, that sends a TCP event to a remote system
EG, which then performs some action.

Now I'd like some front end windows application, that presents a remote, whose
buttons can be clicked or keyboard in. This app will generate the local EG events that will
be sent to the remote system.

Does anything like that exist already?
Thanks,
Dan

Have a look at the plugin "DesktopRemote". Maybe that's what you looking for.

Here is a short example how to use it:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<EventGhost Version="1487">
    <Folder Name="OSR - Desktop-RC" Expanded="True">
        <Macro Name="Desktop Remote: Create New Remote">
            <Action>
                DesktopRemote.CreateNew(70, 30, 3, 3, 4, (128, 128, 128), (255, 255, 255), (78, 78, 78), u'0;-13;0;0;0;700;0;0;0;0;3;2;1;34;Arial', u'Remote Control', 1, True, True, True)
            </Action>
            <Action>
                DesktopRemote.AddButton({'width': 40, 'height': 30, 'event': u'1', 'label': u'1'})
            </Action>
            <Action>
                DesktopRemote.AddButton({'width': 40, 'label': u'2', 'event': u'2', 'height': 30})
            </Action>
            <Action>
                DesktopRemote.AddButton({'width': 40, 'label': u'3', 'event': u'3', 'height': 30})
            </Action>
            <Action>
                DesktopRemote.StartNewLine(0)
            </Action>
            <Action>
                DesktopRemote.AddButton({'event': u'Esc', 'label': u'Esc'})
            </Action>
            <Action>
                DesktopRemote.StartNewLine(0)
            </Action>
            <Action>
                DesktopRemote.Show(10, 10, True)
            </Action>
        </Macro>
        <Macro Name="Desktop Remote: Close" Expanded="True">
            <Event Name="DesktopRemote.Esc" />
            <Action>
                DesktopRemote.Close()
            </Action>
        </Macro>
    </Folder>
</EventGhost>

Excellent! exatly what I need. Now, what do I enter as "events"?
Your example looks like the event is to issue a keyboard key. Can I send any EG macro (or rather an action)?
I'd like to send NetworkSender.Map(u'some string') events, but the syntax to use is not clear to me.

Thanks,

Ahh, now I get it.
Buttons just send events, (any string). Then you use these events in other macros with the actions you want.
Somewhat twisted, but it works
