Request: Plugin to get Windows Messages to use in EventGhost (1 Viewer)

[riro]

Just started to play around with EventGhost. Love how easy yet flexible it is.

But... there is one thing I'm missing in MP: Windows Messages.

Since EG listens to messages to trigger different things this would be a cool plugin. First off Im looking for play/stop/pause to dim lights...


In the thread https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/plugins-47/tellstick-pause-plugin-38400/ there is some sourcecode that could be used to get the play/stop/pause

https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/...llstick-pause-plugin-tellstickpausesource.zip

Then, how to send a Windows Message... I havn't got a clue. If I had some experience in C I would looked in to "converting" the Tellstick plugin myeslf...

Anyone up for it?

Looks like the function RegisterWindowMessage is the one...

RegisterWindowMessage Function ()

I have had EventGhost working perfectly with my HTPC and MediaPortal.

There exists a Windows Message process plugin MEDIAPORTAL - free media center - Message Plugin, which you need to enable, and EventGhost has a MediaPortal plugin - see this thread in the EventGhost forums

EventGhost • View topic - Controlling MediaPortal

Yes... I know, but I want it the other way around.

With that plugin you can tell MP do do stuff. I want to be told what MP is doing...
