I keep asking a lot of quesitons but I really like this program and want to get it to work so.....
Is there a way to assign a certain keyboard key to a button in my software remote? Right now I have the remote running on a wireless laptop that does not have a touchscreen, so I have to use the mouse to hit the buttons, is there a way to assign keys to those buttons instead?
Assign Keyboard Shortcuts to Buttons?

If you're just going to use the PPC for HouseBot, I wouldn't suggest buying anything too expensive. I run mine with an AudioVox Maestro and it works great. Just make sure you can add WiFi to it.
Since the Software Remote is really just a semi-thin client, it doesn't really need too many of the features of the PPC.

Yea. I think any of the PPC screens are sensitive enough to the touch. I don't think you can get the Maestro new any more (I could be wrong).ShiftyPowers wrote:Does the Maestro allow you to use fingers?
I think most of the tablets should also be sensitive enough to the touch to use without a stylus. I have a ProGear that uses a stylus, but it works fine with the finger also.

KBD buttons assigned to Panel buttons...
Hello guys.
I requested this for a couple of months ago without really knowing what i wanted :lol: ... now i know and have solved it with a keyboard makrorecorder software.
This is what i want to do: make a application with several panels and browse thru them with keys. just few commands on each panel ( on/off , inc/dec , OK etc...) I want the key to change "focus" to the buttons on the active panel...
solution: on each panel i have a main meny (ex. row corresponding to keyboard F1 to F12) buildup with buttons each with same position on each panel. then i have recorded a absolute mouse click on that position and assigned that to the corresponding key. this makes it easy to maintain the panels and to add new functionality. It gets even better with a "special design" of a row of buttons connected to a dissasembled numeric keyboard and clued to the side of the LCD...
there is a lot of keyboard macro software out there, i use : http://www.hot-keyboard.com/
housebot deserves a touchscreen but this makes good use of old laptops...
