Keyboard Redirector, Remap keys on your "HID keyboard device" remotes Options

[nate]

I know, I know, I should be working more on DW3, but I've been setting up my new HTPC lately and came across the need to remap the keys on my remote controls (TinyTwin remote, VisionPlus remote, and SunWave SMR-140). Problem was, the remote recievers for these remotes are HID keyboard devices, so pressing keys on the remote is just like pressing keys on the keyboard.
All the key handling applications I tried (EventGhost, Girder, and HIP) were unable to tell the difference between the remote controls and the main keyboard (which I still wanted to be able to use).

So what do you do when you can't find an an application to do what you need? You write your own of course. It's taken me about a month to get to the point where I'm happy enough with the code to share it, but I'm finally there. I wrote more about the development process and how it works on the website.

Keen to hear any feedback, bug, feature requests.

Hi,

I was using Windows 7 Media Center that locks up until I kill KBR.

I've tested in notepad, KBR locks up.

I've attached the main.log & settings.xml files.

 main.log.txt ( 15.33K ) Number of downloads: 1

 settings.xml.txt ( 34.03K ) Number of downloads: 1


Another thing I noticed tonight when I was trying some other buttons on the remote. When I tried to remap a key the key was typing into the "detect" box instead:

Type here to detect key5555555

I was going to attached a later copy of the main.log but I've run out of space here.

I put it here:

Hope it's useful.

Thanks,
