I have an MS Internet Pro Keyboard that includes a load of extra
keys for selecting media tracks, adjusting and muting the sound volume etc - but these don't work with DAP (they do with WinAmp!)
Can these be enabled?? (I find them pretty useful)
Anyone managed to get them to work??
See the following MS blurb...
More information about Hot Key support
Microsoft keyboard Hot Keys work with programs that use the WM_APPCOMMAND API, which is a standardized way for programs to receive Hot Key commands on Windows operating system. Many newer programs are already using the WM_APPCOMMAND API, and more are in development. IntelliType Pro keyboard software does emulate this functionality for certain popular programs that do not use the WM_APPCOMMAND API so that these programs will respond to Hot Key presses.
Supported programs that use the WM_APPCOMMAND API may behave slightly differently than programs for which IntelliType emulates this functionality. For example, the media commands may only work when an WM_APPCOMMAND API program is the active window.
Both the programs that use WM_APPCOMMAND API and those that IntelliType Pro software emulates this functionality for are listed above. This list will be updated as new programs migrate to the WM_APPCOMMAND API.
Note If a software program you use with a Microsoft keyboard is not listed above, you can contact the development company to determine if they intend to use the WM_APPCOMMAND API.
Ta ever so!
