I just bought the Microsoft Bluetooth keyboard and mouse, and I would like to use the "special" keys on the top of it (those for iTunes control and Mail/Web/Home/Messenget(iChat)). I read a post that said these events are passed on to but not used by the system. Is there some way to trap these events? Yes. WIll I need to go to the kernel level? No. I figure there's got to be some way to do it. Thanks for any advice information you can provide. -- EliotSimcoe There are a couple of ways to go from an application. One is to use the HID Manager: <http://developer.apple.com/documentation/DeviceDrivers/Conceptual/HID/ index.html> <http://developer.apple.com/samplecode/Sample_Code/ Devices_and_Hardware/HID_Manager.htm> Another is to use the Carbon "hot-key" API: < http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Carbon/Reference/ Carbon_Event_Manager_Ref/CarbonEventsRef/function_group_1.html#// apple_ref/c/func/RegisterEventHotKey> Good luck, --gc _______________________________________________ bluetooth-dev mailing list | bluetooth-dev@lists.apple.com Help/Unsubscribe/Archives: http://www.lists.apple.com/mailman/listinfo/bluetooth-dev Do not post admin requests to the list.
