Hello everybody,
I have a really difficult problem that im not able to solve out.
My computer knowledge might not be enough.
My father has a grave disease and he can't move any muscle but the head.
He uses a special computer to comunicate.
This computer has just a key that my father push with the head and he uses a special program that let him write sentences.
He can also launch other program but after that he can't close it.
I'm looking for a special utility that let him use the computer as remote controll or a kind of program to be launched that changes the channel as he wants.
I was looking EventGhost and I found it very interesting but I don't really understand if he can do what i think.
I would like to create a sort of executable file to change channels.
For example create a files called one.exe that comunicate to the television to show the first channel.
I would create a executable file for each channel.
Is there someone that knows how I can do?
I really hope you understand what I need expecially because english is not my first language and It's not easy to explain clearly what I'm thinking.
Thank a lot and have a nice day
Lara

create executable task to change channel
Re: create executable task to change channel
Lara if you look in the documentation of EventGhost under command line interface you will find your solution.
All you need to do is open:
EventGhost.exe -e ChannelUp
This will cause an event called Main.ChannelUp.
Also feel free to PM/email me for support on this project it sounds like something that might give me a warm fuzzy feeling at the end.

EDIT: This should wark as you desire however you may also wrap that in a bat file if you really want individual files to run.
