Re: totally annoying remote control issue

Sure there is--just have a driver intercept the remote stream and
force focus to the "associated" window prior to delivering the event.

If that "can't be done" in Windows, then it's lamer than I expect.

Given that the remote acts like a keyboard interface, it's no surprise that
it only works on the window with the focus, just like a keyboard and a
mouse. I don't imagine there's any way to change that...

Hi all, ok, so here's my vote for most annoying issue with MCE...

IMHO, a remote control should function all the time and each time I
attempt to access a TV/PVR feature - why is it then that the remote
commands only get executed if the MCE window is highlighted and active?

is there a way to set presedence for the remote to always work,
regardless of the MCE window being the active one?

Thanks for your thoughts,

Danny
