Hello,

I have bought an X-10 remote control for PC and other electronics. Now I have downloaded a program called BOOM2000 where I can set up a few keys and can only assign 3 programs to it. The program sends set key-strokes to the program I want to control when I press the appropiate button on my remote.

Now my questions is, if anyone here knows how to read the key-strokes sent by the remote and received by the receiver (Firecracker?!?).

I hope there is a way in VDS,
Raymond

Hey Harry,

Thanks for your reply... I thought that this post would be some kind of a lonely post without any replies...

I will check out the vdsdll, and I really would like to see where your link is going to, but it seems to be dead...

Thanks for your help!

Greetz,
Raymond

Apparently the link was just temporarily down, or maybe
Harry fixed it. It works from here. Wink

Cheers, Mac Smile
