activeX DVD menu navigation (setvarible)

[benedict101]

Hello,

I'm trying to navigate a DVD menu from the activeX plugin. The activeX object responds to the mouse but I can't figure out how to get it to respond to the keyboard.

I guess I can do this with the setvarible command in conjunction with a keypress event, but I have no idea which varible to set.

Is there a list of varibles and possible values for the setvarible command?

Cheers

The variable you seek is "key-pressed". You can fill it with the integer value of any ascii key value. Modifiers are special integers which need to be OR'd with the ascii value if you want to pass them. these values are in include/vlc_keys.h

I'm having a dumb moment.

I'm using the following js function to move the cursor down:


function vlc_testbtn_onclick(){
vlc_player.setVariable("key-pressed", "031");
}


(acording to [http]http://www.jimprice.com/ascii-0-127.jpg[/http]
31 is the ascii code for down)

I doesn't work. What am I doing wrong? Have I misunderstood how to use setvariable?

Ok, not only modifiers, any NON letter, has it's own code in VLC. (Reason being that ascii values for non letters are not the same on different kinds of Operating Systems.

vlc_keys.h reveals that the definition for KEY_DOWN is 0x00040000 (that is in hexadecimal, not decimal)
