I've got logitech's MediaPlay bundled with 16 buttons or so, but they hardly do anything.. at least not the things I want them to do.. Could you add perhaps an input reader that can then override that input with something else, since the buttons arent easily identified by hotkey programs I think.. ? If there is a program out there that can do this then that might help.. thanks

See the 'Special Keys' section in the Key/Button List Documentation. -I think it could be what you want.

thanks alot! but neither mousehook nor keyboard hook seem to work at capturing these buttons.. do you have any ideas ?

That probably means they're hardwired into the keyboard, meaning the OS doesn't get the keys, it gets what they're supposed to do. You'd have to first set up your driver to either let them through normally or send some key combination that you can intercept with AutoHotkey.

The drivers are installed, the software for the mouse as well, and the buttons work to the limited point logitech intended, that is +/- volume, next/prev track and back/forward. I assigned one of these buttons a keystroke G and the keyboard hook read it as G.. nothing more.. (os XP)

That's what I meant; assign it to some key you wouldn't ordinarily use, and assign it to a hotkey. If it doesn't have any keys available like that, there's nothing else I can think of.

I use hotkey-indirection for several purposes. He means to set the button to fire some ludicrous hotkey like shift+ctrl+win+f12. Then make that a hotkey in ahk, and put the desired function there.

only a few can be assigned or modified to a keystroke.. but thanks anyways..
