Focus control between GB-PVR and other software

[Marbles_00]

I've just started using GB-PVR and I'm pretty impressed by what it can do. Though I am using Xlobby for most controls, its nice to be able to turn off the extra features I don't want to use an solely us GB-PVR as a PVR/TV player. Even skinning is not that difficult. My GB-PVR screens look similar to my Xlobby screens.

What would be good is the ability to create a button that is capable of setting the focus from GB-PVR to Xlobby (or whatever other software). Currently I can have both programs running, and a button in Xlobby was created that executes the sendfocus.exe program which switches to GB-PVR. Could something like this be setup to send the focus back to Xlobby? Otherwise, I would have to exit and close GB-PVR, which I don't want to do.

If some one has any other way, or if this has already been done, please let me know.

You could probably just create a main menu button, by adding a custom task for setfocus.exe, in the 'plugins' tab of the config app.

That may be just what I'm looking for. I'll just have to create a little batch file to run sendfocuse.exe "Xlobby" in a command line (seemed to work on its own).

Thank you very much for pointing me in that direction. I'll fill you in if it worked. Maybe it can be included somewhere on this page.

Sub,

Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction. It worked like a charm except for that annoying black screen with the simple white text that says "Executing External Task". Is there a way to get rid of that screen? Well, it's not really annoying, but, for my application, I don't need to see that screen. It conflicts with the seemless transistion I'd like to succeed in acheiving.

Now a new wish, is it possible to add sounds to button selections?

Wanted to say thanks again for all your help, and I apologize for not looking more at the plugins before requesting that wish....though it did come true too.

Sub, smeghead, thanks for all your help.

As for the blanck screen issue, I will repost that in the support section as it is not really a wish.
