[QUOTE="RoyN, post: 65336, member: 19028"] I was looking for something like this.... I tried my programs and easy apps... didnt much like any :( (sorry)... for me, nice features to have when calling external programs would be: - Possibility to call the program directly from home or whatever (like you said) - Possibility to have the program either full-screen, or "embedded"... by embedded, I mean: have the program take only a window-sized area within the MP interface. - Finally, tied with the "embedded look" above, an option of adding some buttons on the left side or whatever (dependig on skin), where you can have sendkey functionality. That way, you can have a set of buttons that are themed in media portal style, and have an application running "inside" and you press those buttons, to control the program. This would work great when controlling, say, a slingbox player (which was what I am trying to do), I can have the player on part of the screen, and then I can have buttons for changin channels, etc on the side, which send keys to this application. To the end-user it is just like one integrated interface, but it is actually 2 apps (MP+ExternalApp)... Any thoughts on this? Any way of doing this currently? I was amazed the current My Programs doesnt have a way of having sendkey buttons along the bottom/side of the embedded app.... It would also be useful for simple games, and so forth... Any ideas? Possible? [/QUOTE]
