I serached and found an old post on this- Basically i am trying to remap what the button does on my headset. I know how to go about this but step one is to figure out what the headset sends to the computer when i push that button on the headset itself.

In the end i am hoping to make the button (when connected to a phone) answers / ends / rejects calls be a Push-to-Talk key for ventrilio- im sure some of you have heard of the program.

Thank you in advance for reading and hopefully knowing the answer!

Read about how to check special keys. You probably want to read the whole page Wink

http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/KeyList.htm#SpecialKeys

Below is a script that accomplishes steps 1, 2 & 4

So after you run the script, hit the 'unknown' key and press F5 to refresh the Key History display.
Make sure you scroll to the bottom of the list to get the latest key(s).
This should at least get you started.

Code:
#InstallKeybdHook
;#InstallMouseHook

KeyHistory ; Display the history info in a window.

esc:: ; in case of emergency, hit escape to exit
exitapp

its probally not possible because the function is not sending a keypress to the computer but its built into the headset

its too bad. the button is on the headset itself and it does function as the power button for the headset however it obviously sends commands to the phone when you use it with a phone so i was hoping that maybe it just sent a random command to the computer. If anyone has more ideas on this that would be wonderful. There has GOT to be a way! i just might not be smart enough to do it...

Thank you again for your replies!
