What to do when an application ignores keystrokes

[kegobeer]

I am using the latest version of EG (0.4.1.r1544) with Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 (x86).

I have an application called Centrafuse 4.0, and I'm trying to use EG to send keystrokes to it in order to activate voice control. I've discovered that when the Centrafuse window does not have the focus, it accepts the keystrokes (ctrl+alt+v) sent by EG. However, when Centrafuse has the focus, it will ignore those keystrokes from EG. If I actually press ctrl+alt+v on the keyboard, Centrafuse accepts them, regardless if that window has the focus or not. This is the macro I'm using:

Code: Select all

<Macro Name="Emulate Keystrokes: {Ctrl+Alt+v}" Expanded="True">
        <Event Name="HID.Button.0" />
        <Action>
            Window.SendKeys(u'{Ctrl+Alt+v}', False)
        </Action>
    </Macro>

I've also used the find window action immediately after the hid.button.0 event, but that causes sendkeys to be ignored. I've also tried using other Centrafuse hotkeys, but the results are the same, so it's ignoring all keystrokes when the Centrafuse window has the focus. I'm also using EG with the XBMC plugin, and that works perfectly.

Does anyone have any ideas on things I can try in order to get this working?

Thanks in advance.
