put this in you constructor code: this.Enter += new System.EventHandler(this.MainForm_Enter); And this to handle the event: private void MainForm_Enter(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { //put any code here to handle the enter key } Cheers.

If you read the info behind that link, you would know it IS possible to compile 1.0 at a 1.1 framework. In VS, go to your project properties, and select 1.0 at 'supported runtimes'. Althought you said it wasn't possible, you helped me well. :) Cheers, Theo

1. I'm using VS 2003 Pro 2. I'm almost sure it can be done in commandline, I only don't know how.

I want to compile my application as a Framework 1.0 app on Framework 1.1. This is not because I'm too lazy to install 1.1, but Windows MCE requires it. I guess I need some command line options, but can't find it in MSDE. Please help me out. Theo

You should start using unmanaged code then, kernel32.dll I think. You could also use user32.dll to read system messages. Search http://www.pinvoke.net for sample code.

This code does not work :(( Keep in mind the AudioMixer is an interface, not a class.

I'm having problems with a get/set property, and I want to know how to use it. Declaration in the library where it is says this: public abstract new bool Mute [ get, set ] Member of Microsoft.MediaCenter.Extensibility.AudioMixer Thanks in advance, Theo

Look at this: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/winui/winui/windowsuserinterface/windowing/windows/windowreference/windowfunctions/getforegroundwindow.asp You can use the Spy++ tool in Visual Studio to get the lpClassName. You could also use this tool: http://www.codeproject.com/dialog/windowfinder.asp

To me this sounds as a problem with your tabindex. Set a proper tabindex property to each object, and it will work correctly.

Why don't you try to change the background of these cells into green or red? I Don't know it it's possible, but it would be easier if it is...

A good sleep does good on you thinking. I found out my own how to solve this problem. Just emulate the Mute button on your keyboard, and it will do ;)

Found a nice sample code: http://blogs.simplifi.com/brucet/downloads/remotecontrolsample.zip It may help some others as well.

Just tried the dx sdk, but it seems it cannot handle system volume or something :S Going for the lib now :)

Hi, I want to be able to mute and unmute sound in Windows from my C# app. However, I have no idea where to start. Can someone give me some good links or sample code? Thanks in advance

Hi, I'm trying to read the input of my IR Controller by raw input. I managed to get lParam (pointer) and some other variables out of it, and now I want to extract it to useable data. I'm now able to make a difference between WM_INPUT of some other type, but there are like 10 keys on the remote using WM_INPUT. lParam seems the only parameter containing the info I need... Thanks in advance.

Does someone have experience reading WM_INPUT info? I already know I need to use user32.dll, I only have no idea HOW. There are masses of tutorials in c or c++ on this subject, but just a few in C#. I'm a programmer newbe, so I like code with some explanation :-D Thanks in advance.

Thanks, I'll go find some stuff on keyboard hooks then.

Hi, I used the tutor from microsoft to get messages from my IR Control (link). The code works fine, but when the window loses focus, it doesn't work anymore. I need this code to work also when the program doesn't have focus (global hook?). Thanks in advance.
