New External App: Netflix Browser

[dhgb256]

So my other program, Netflix Viewer is caput, now that Netflix has retired their API. However, while trying to optimize my eventghost codes to work with Netflix through the web, I ultimately decided that a custom browser would work better. If anyone is interested, I designed a webbrowser to work optimally (or as close as I could muster) with Netflix. Please take a look and let me know if you have any suggestions for improving the program. Current features:

Ctrl - O --> This opens an options menu, so you can specify default sort criteria for the webpages; which genres you want to auto-scroll through; and default zoom level for the webpage.
Ctrl - P --> Move cursor to profile change location on screen
Ctrl - S --> Move cursor to search box location on screen
Arrows --> On home page left and right arrows move to scroll arrow locations, making it easier to navigate through the movies. On genre pages, left and right move the mouse left and right across the screen.
Ctrl - Left/Right --> RW/FF on movie screen, advance to next genre in scroll list on other screens.
Up/Down PgUp/PgDn --> Scroll window
Alt-F4 --> Close Program
Esc --> Return to "Home"
Enter --> Left mouse click

[Version Info]
1.0.0.2 - Added support for OK button to be left mouse click.
1.1 - Added support, so monitor doesn't shut off during watching.

Ok, a question, how do you "click" the mouse on whatever the cursor is over?

I use an X10 remote which has mouse buttons on it. I can make it so the Enter (OK) button clicks the mouse, if that is helpful.

I put up a new version that includes enter = mouse click. Sorry it took so long to reply, I forgot to subscribe to the thread :o

I was getting annoyed that my monitor kept shutting off while watching movies. I added in code to keep the monitor on while the program is open.
