Was wondering if that would be the case. how would I do this? Guess, it would have been nice, first of all, to constuct a script, that simply reads, whatever keystrokes are made, and displays the results on the screen. A kind of 'which key is pressed' script. That would have been helpful in several projects, I do believe. Anyone have the idea, and the will of making such a script? or, maybe just a bit of code, that would get me started.

But it seems, there is no definitions for reading keystrokes from another unit. Why I am asking, is that I want to script functionality for my Remote control, and also would be great, to use my joystick, as a navigation tool. First I got hooked on to the keystrokes from the unit, the interpretation and actions, whouldn't be that complicated. Anyone knows, how to get hold of the information, as to which key - on another unit but the keyboard itself - can be retrieved? Working in VBS at the moment, but if there is other languages that has a greater access to input units, I am willing to consider taking my project into that language.
