[QUOTE="jgvonk, post: 51155, member: 11126"] Thanks for your explainations Bitmonster and sorry for my typo. Sorry for asking, but you wrote that you wrote the X10 EventGhost plugin. Why do you refere to it as a plugin, why not as an applcation? So EventGhost as well as RemoteMouse connect to an ActiveX componenet that provided by the x10 device drivers. I guess this means that COM is involved. I'm studying that since it still seems to be all over any windows machine and I need to understand more about it. It seems that C#/.net devellopments will not push it out soon. This RemoteMouse software came with my MARMITEK pc control. I bought in a Handyman shop in the Netherlands for just under 30 euro. Great prize I would say considering it can not only controle x10 equipement but also IR systems like my Philips TV. I'm not sure wether this RemouseMouse can do more than EventGhost, I don't think so. The differens is (I think) that RemouteMouse can be configured via the UI.
