[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1198766, member: 141969"] The designers of the Ortek/Hama remote control made some really weird choices. One of these weird choices is that the INFO button sends exactly the same signal as RIGHT_MOUSE, and so the two buttons cannot be distinguished. By default, when you press the INFO button, Windows thinks that you have pressed the RIGHT_MOUSE button. In the AutoHotKey script, RIGHT_MOUSE is mapped to MP's INFO function, and LEFT_MOUSE is mapped to MP's MENU function. However, I have attempted to ensure that these mappings apply only when the mouse pointer is physically within the MP window. When MP is full screen, the mouse pointer is always within the MP window, so that works as intended. When MP is windowed, the logic for detecting when the mouse mappings should occur is not 100% correct (there is a bit of "trial and error" involved). Of course, these mappings are intended to be used with a [b]remote control[/b]. If you are actually trying to use a [b]mouse[/b], the mouse buttons won't behave as they normally would. In the "Centarea HID.xml" file, I mapped the INFO button to toggle info. That differs from the default definition, where INFO cycles through MENU then INFO then neither. So: (1) Are you trying to use a mouse on other parts of the desktop when MP is windowed? (2) Are you trying to use a mouse within MP itself? (3) Is EventGhost still active (it may interfere with AutoHotKey)? (4) What action are you expecting the INFO button to perform? -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
