hi!

I just noticed there's a way to communicate with external program throught activeX.

I would Like to send order to a program named Eventghost thourght activeX

can you help me?

first... I don't know what is activeX

second I dont know how to procede to do something with Activex

I looked around for basic code sample but What I fond Was too complicated for me

Thanks!

The very very short answer is that the task that you're planning to undertake is unnecessarily complicated. Especially since Eventghost does the same things that AutoHotKey does.

But if you're looking for a place to start, this is undeniably it: http://www.autohotkey.com/wiki/index.php?title=COM_Wrappers

I prefer to control everything from AutoHotKey. If possible I would like to send ir signal from AutoHotKey instead of using eventghost. Right now I'm using the command line function in eventghost to control it...

e.g.:

numpad1::run C:\Program Files\EventGhost\EventGhost.exe -e sat.num.1

The whole process.... (AutoHotKey->eventghost->irDevice->Satellite box) take about 1 second to get the result.

I Prefer to control everytinh with my keyboard instead of using 2 or 3 remotes... but I would like to speed up everything.

I understand. However it is going to take a lot of time to learn to use the COM files to transfer variables through ActiveX to Eventghost. It will be significantly faster/easier to reprogram it in AHK.

What you mean by reprograming it?

I Check with winlirc software but it's look like it's not compatible with my device( usb-uirt). However, The guy who developpe the usb-uirt device share it's dll (with all the documentation) for software integration.

Could it be possible to call his dll with AutoHotKey and get acess to the hardware device and program it? If yes I will start to looking for that


if anybody can comfirm that It will be appreciate!!!
