Sorry, I didn't follow this thread until the end. What permutations have you already
tried?

Re: lingo-l HELP with BUDDY API anyone?
Hi Charlie,
What I am trying to achieve is to control TV TUNER card from inside a Director Movie.
The TV Tuner has some hot keys that I may press using BUDDY API. Some of them work
fine (such as channel up or down, volume) but one of the most important that is MUTE
accessed by MULTIPLY KEY(NUMPAD *) just can´t make it work.
Some people here tried to help me but their suggestions seemed to fail also.
I have already tried the following:
baSendKeys(*)
baSendKeys({*})
baSendKeys({vk_MULTIPLY})
baSendKeys({106})
baSendkeys(numToChar(42))
baSendKeys(~8)

RE: lingo-l HELP with BUDDY API anyone?
Hi, Can´t send MULTIPLY Key (num pad) to an application using buddy´s method baSendKeys(). Any help is welcome On Windows, the * has a value of 42 (decimal), and a key code of 66. The keypad sends the ASCII 42 character. Have you tried baSendKeys ( * ) ? You might also try baSendKeys (~8) (the tilda means shift to Buddy).

RE: lingo-l HELP with BUDDY API anyone?
Kerry, I´ve already tried to send * and ~8 but nothing happened. It seems the app only works with the real code of multiply key I mean whenever I press it from num pad it works. Do you believe keys in Num Pad may have special codes that BUDDY can´t send?

Quite possible. Mac or PC? On Windows, the key and the keycode are the same for the * on the num pad and the regular keyboard. What are you trying to do? There might be another way to do it.

RE: lingo-l HELP with BUDDY API anyone?
Alright that´s the idea: I have this TV Tuner that accepts keyboard shortcuts to manage controls at GUI. So I may issue a baSendKeys(3) and it´s the same as user have pressed key pad 3 to tune channel 3. This works fine but when it´s time to turn audio ON/OFF using MULTIPLY KEY in num pad (as GUI manual explains) i have no success :( - Original Message - From: Kerry Thompson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Mon, 13 May 2002 13:52:00 -0700 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: lingo-l HELP with BUDDY API anyone?

This works fine but when it´s time to turn audio ON/OFF using MULTIPLY KEY in num pad (as GUI manual explains) i have no success :( Well, if it's Windows, the PC keyboard generates a numeric code that is intercepted by the OS and turned into an ASCII character. If you get down to the assembly level, you can intercept that interrupt, and I suspect that's what the tuner is doing. It's generally considered Bad Coding Practice, but that might be the only way they could tell the difference between the * on the numeric keypad and the shift-8 *. If so, you're scr... er, hosed unless you write an Xtra in C.

I have no idea if this works, but what if you include it in the curly
brackets like for the Fkeys?
baSendKeys({*})
I typed that in the Message window, using the number pad * and it appeared
as expected, but I don't know if your external app will see it as the same
char as ~8.
Or maybe there's some way to use Buddy's virtual keys?
baSendKeys({vk_Multiply})
baSendKeys({106})
Just shootin' in the dark.

RE: lingo-l HELP with BUDDY API anyone?
Kerry, the difference between the * on the numeric keypad and the shift-8 *. I guess you´re right these keys really have different codes in Windows and that´s what´s going on: the application distinguishes both keys. If I could only find a way of sending these codes with buddy api... I know nothing about C++ to write an Xtra just to get this job done.
