libvlc & DVD navigation

Hi

I'm developing an easy DVD player around libvlc. The question is, how can I navigate programmatically through DVD menus?
Somewhere on the forum I found that this should be accomplished using __var_Set function. But when I declare it, the compiler throws an error that it can't find an entry point in libvlc.dll.

Any idea?

thanks so much

S.

LibVLC provides dedicated functions for title and chapter navigation. For menu navigation, LibVLC will interact directly with the windowing system so you don't need to care.

Thanks for reply.

I'd like to navigate through DVD menus with my phone over bluetooth. I successfully created the communication with my program and phone but I don't know how to send commands to VLC through libvlc to change menus.

I hope I make my problem more clear :)

thanks again

S.

This is not directly possible with the current LibVLC API. It gets mouse and keyboard events from the windowing subsystem, not from the LibVLC-based application.
