BBKeyhook

Author	Message
Guest	BBKeyhook Quote: I made this plugin to fix my multi-media keyboard under BB4win. Basically it's a low level keyhook that can map any VK (Virtual Key) code to a command line action or to the default mixer 'mute', 'volume up' and 'volume down' actions.

Krevrenko	Re: BBKeyhook Hello! I am obviously pretty daft, but when I set the BBkeyhook.rc like this, it reacts after I press CTRL(162) and doesn't even wait (or indeed react) to SHIFT(160). What am I doing wrong, please? Thanks for your help.

Only posting this to show the meaninglessness of my previous post, so maybe a moderator can get rid of that too. I have to register on here.

Quote: // ----- How do I train it to my keyboard? ----- \\ All keyboard keys are represented by a VK code. Some manufacturers use different VK codes for special keys, like 'mute' than others. In order to cater for this BBKeyhook has a config mode that you can put it in to by changing the rc setting to 'True'. Once in this state it reports the VK code and Hardware Scan Code of any key you press by displaying it in the BB4win toolbar (make sure the toolbar is visible). So modify your BBkeyhook.rc to contain... Code: BBkeyhook.plugin.ConfigMode?: True And then enable the blackbox toolbar (not the system bar that bblean/bbclean display by default). This can be done through the blackbox config menu. Now restart blackbox and everytime you press a key it's VK and Scan code will be displayed in the toolbar. Once you have worked out which code represents the key you want to map an action to add a new entry to the BBkeyhook.rc file with a unique ID... Code: BBkeyhook.plugin.key<ID>: <VK Code> BBkeyhook.plugin.scanCode<ID>: <Scan Code> BBkeyhook.plugin.command<ID>: <command> For example... Code: BBkeyhook.plugin.key32:172 BBkeyhook.plugin.scanCode32:50 BBkeyhook.plugin.command32: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe Hope that helps. _________________ http://www.finalfury.co.uk

Also when I press and of the volume buttons, it doesnt give me a scan code or vk. It just says"volume up" "volume down" "mute/unmute" Would you happen to know what to do?

For example this is my binding for skip forward... Code: BBkeyhook.plugin.key3:171 BBkeyhook.plugin.scanCode3:102 BBkeyhook.plugin.command3: @BBmuse_toWinamp WM_COMMAND 40048 Quote: Also when I press and of the volume buttons, it doesnt give me a scan code or vk.

So they should be already working. _________________ http://www.finalfury.co.uk

If you software installed that is displaying an OSD, it might be intercepting the keys before they can reach blackbox or its plugins. This happens f.ex with the Microsoft Intellitype software. If you have something like that installed try uninstalling it and see if it helps. Also, what version of windows are you running, I can't see it mentioned anywhere? _________________ Try boxCore! boxCore homepage. Forum thread on lostinthebox. Bugs, Feature requests

nil_von_9wo BBOneHitWonder Joined: Sat Jul 04, 2009 8:56 am Posts: 1	bbKeyhook v0.62b working intermittently with bbLean 1.17 I have been using bbLean with Windows XP for quite some time, but I have always found it frustrating that the volume keys on my Microsoft Ergonomic 4000 keyboard would not work. Recently, I found a suggestion that I should try bbKeyhook, and it worked. And then it didn't work. Then I reconfigured and it worked. Then it didn't work. Then I reconfigured and it worked. Then it didn't work. . . . Then I reconfigured, but it didn't work. Then it didn't work, again. As I don't wish to spend my life crapshooting bbLean reconfigurations to get this plugin to work, does anyone have a better way for me to make it's functionality more stable? The only other plugins I'm using are bbKeys 1.17, bbLeanBar 1.17, and bbLeanSkin 1.17. BTW, is bbKeyhook intended to supplement or replace bbKeys? If replace, is there an easy way to port my keyboard shortcuts from one to the other?

It appears that bbkeyhook is one of the plugins affected - see here for a workaround. Try contacting the plugin author to see if he is intending to realease an update. _________________ HTH unkamunka - #bb4win
