IR Remote Control, Help....WM_APPCOMMAND

[Xodiak]

Alright, I'm trying to integerate an IR remote control into one of my apps.

I used Spy++ to try to figure out what messages were being sent to the app. The WM_APPCOMMAND message is begin sent.

But this message is being sent for the every media key. i read somewhere that you ahve to use GET_APPCOMMAND_LPARAM(lparam) to get the unique media key but i dont know how to implement this in C#.

I am currently overloading the WndProc(ref Message m) even and attempting to do something when the message == WM_APPCOMMAND...but again i dont know how to differentiate between the different WM_APPCOMMAND's....

Play...Stop....Next Track....Previous Track....are all the same message...help guys. -- modified at 0:30 Thursday 22nd December, 2005

The Message[^] structure that gets passed to the WndProc method has LParam and WParam properties. You need to look into how GET_APPCOMMAND_LPARAM(lparam) is implemented to get the value out of the LParam property. Regards Senthil _____________________________ My Blog | My Articles | WinMacro

figured it out, there is a lparam property in the message structure that i have to interperet AFTER i catch on the wparam property of app_command....a long int get returned. simple switch statement and i got it all working. thanks for your help
