Handeling Remote Control Buttons being pressed

[cgmt]

I am writing my first pluggin and I need to know how to handle the Play,Stop,Pause buttongs that are pressed on the remote in the KeyPress Event. I need to be able to trap the Play and Stop buttons being pressed on the remote anddo some action. I would assume that it would be in the OnKeyDown event but not sure how to handle non keyboard items. If anyone could point me in the write direction, I wouldgreately appreciate it.

Thanks in advance

The buttons will appear as regular keyboard events. Ctrl-P play, Ctrl-S stop, Ctrl-Q pause etc.

Your plugin will only get these key events when it is the active plugin.

the remote key presses are these by default
play - ctrl P
stop - ctrl S
pause - ctrl Q
skip - ctrl right
prev - ctrl left
ff - ctrl f
rwd - ctrl d

so in the keypress you can use

Code:

bool handled = false; // return this to tell gbpvr that we handled the keypress so it wont
if(e.KeyCode== Keys.Right && e.Control)
{
// do some with the skip button
handled = true;
}

or you could use a keymappings file which will allow the user to change the keys to whatever they like.

Code:

private GBPVR.Public.KeyCommandHelper helper;
// create the keymappings helper
private void init(){
helper = new GBPVR.Public.KeyCommandHelper("my plugin.xml");    
}

public bool onkeydown(System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs e){
// this will return the name of the command that goes allong with the key press
// eg "Menu", "Play" check other keymapping files for other examples
string command = helper.KeyMapping(e);

if(command == BUTTON_PLAY){
}

}

that shouild get you started...
