Caputre volume up/down using background app

[redzvika]

Hi

I'm able to capture volume up/down keys when the app is in the foreground .
using :
CRemConInterfaceSelector,CRemConCoreApiTarget and MrccatoCommand method

I'm also able to capture other keys when in background
using:
RwindowGroup with CaptureKey method


I'm trying to capture the volume up/down keys when my application is in the background !


Is there an API for it ?

I think RwindowGroup with CaptureKeyUpDown able to catch any key in background app. Just make log and find out Key Scan codes for up/down keys.

No i guess the volume up down keys can't be caught that way, even I am facing a similar problem

Hi,

The scan code that can be used are EStdKeyIncVolume and EStdKeyDecVolume

emailatravi thank you for the advice
your suggestion doesn't work

To capture the multimedia key you have use the remote API
which works only when your app has a gui and in the background.

Hi redzvika,

I am able to captue all keys (6681, N72 etc) . Moreover I am not using GUI (Application) framework to draw anything on screen. I draw things on the screen using my own framework and it is an EXE.

Ok let me check, if am able to capture multimedia keys.
