Detecting Hardware Button Press in C#
-
Hi, guys. I have a MTG Smart Backup drive enclosure with a "one-touch" backup button. However, the backup software that came with the system will only detect physical drives attached to the system. What I want to do is write my own backup solution that will not only work with physical drives, but with mapped network drives. What I need though, is a way to capture when the button has been pressed. I have tried a search on the internet through Google, but can't find a link to the manufacturer's website. The software was provided by VIA, which doesn't mention the software anywhere on their website. My thought was to use a Spy or Trace program to capture the message sent from the hardware button to Windows, but I'm having a problem finding such a utility on the Internet, and I only have SharpDevelop and Visual C# Express to work with, neither of which have such a utility that I can find. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. :-D Flynn PS -- The enclosure can be found at http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=EC-2501U[^] and the model number is EC-2501U. A search on Google reveals a number of links to sales sites. I've been unable to find a link a site for the manufacturer.
