|

hi,
it would be great if the remote control support could be built into autohotkey, so that winlirc would become unnecessary. i imagine using a remote control like this:
| Code: | COM1_0x000000000000128D:
Send Blablabla
return |
where 0x000000000000128D would be the code sent by the remote control.
well, only my humble opinion...
best regards,
rh |

I think WinLIRC is pretty big in code size; a lot of it probably serves to boost the reliability of signal recognition (due to inherent unreliability of infrared signals and the COM port itself). However, since Microsoft seems committed supporting more and more devices in XP and future OSes, future versions of AutoHotkey may be able to take advantage of this.
Here are two related topics that might be of interest:
