Hi,
I have this headset:
Microsoft lifechat zx-6000
http://www.liveside.net/cfs-file.ashx/_ ... zx6000.PNG

You'll see the button in the middle is "Windows live call button"
I want to map that to mute.

Is this possible with autohotkey? I tried using keyboard media keys which has worked in the past for me on keyboards, duh, but not in this case,

Thanks for any ideas
Cheers

Explain this.
There would have to be drivers and or software interface no?

Ya, I had to install the MS lifechat software.
Right now when that button is pressed, it wants to start MSN messenger and if it's not there, it show a stupid dialog that you can't dismiss and have it remember that option.

I am wondering if there is a way that we can find out what signal is being sent and have AHK intercept it and do something else.

Maybe I'm just dreaming, I thought I'd ask the experts so I can stop speculating in my head

Cheers

Use this to map the vk/sc codes:

Code:

#installKeybdHook

setTimer, watchButtons, 500
return

watchButtons:
  keyHistory
return

esc::exitApp ; <-- press escape to exit

Then:

Code:

SC159:: ; Replace 159 with your key's value.
MsgBox, %A_ThisHotKey% was pressed.
return
