DVD Navigation using C++
DigiLee 10.07.2007 06:12:06
HELP,

This is the last element in a player app that I am writing to control a WMP
DVD player on the PC through a TV remote control. Everything else works! I
can play the movie, I can send commands from the remote through to my
application, I just cannot send up/down/left/right from my app to the DVD
navigation menu!

I have been all through the docs and all over the web, and I have not found
a way to control the DVD menu selections. Apparently there is no ActiveX API
to do the trick, so I thought I'd try to send keystrokes to the control. But
I can't find an API to get the HWND! I've tried SendMessageToDescendants(),
but that doesn't seem to work either.

I've noticed that using the keyboard I can move the menu selection wihle in
full screen mode, but not while in normal mode. I tried sending keys while in
both modes and nothing works.

My App is written in Visual Studio 2005 C++ using ATL.

Again, HELP! PLEASE!

Thanks,

Lee
