Guys did anybody experimented to execute and control windows programs using HouseBot? I am trying to call Windows itunes, use play, pause, forward and repeat using HouseBot remote.

I also want to control PowerDVD the same way. I know PowerDVD can be controlled by there own remote control.

If the program you choose have an ActiveX component, you could probably create an object and connect to it. You can use the script device to create the HouseBot interface. There are other ways to get stuff done, but it all boils down to ways to connect to your software. Just do a good search for it on the net and if you can find example code of how to connect to your software, interfacing with HouseBot will be the least of your problems.
