I searched a lot on this site, and haven't found something that works yet...

Basically, I want to do hotkeys for my windows media player, but I want them to work when it is in the taskbar (Windows Media Player toolbar)
This has nothing to do with the skin mode, by the way.

This thing (not my own screenshot, some random pic on google Razz)

So far I was only able to use PostMessage, but it only works when minimized normally, not in toolbar mode.

Basically, I would need something that emulates the keystrokes of a keyboard with media keys... These media keys probably trigger some windows function or something? There must be a way to trigger these functions?

I tried the spy thing, and it didn't seem to recognize anything special on that toolbar, it was simply the taskbar's window

Thanks in advance

(Since I can't edit...)

Oh, forgot to say that this program is awesome... I was searching for something that could minimize apps to the system tray, and found one on here, and it works MUCH better than all the others I tried.
Why has no one told me about this before? Sad

THANKS Very Happy

It 'had' to be somewhere around here... just couldn't find it for some reason Confused

Pure awesomeness, it's annoying to alt-tab out of a game to change the player's volume because it is unbalanced with the game's volume... Now I can do it directly Twisted Evil
