The Media Center Sandbox

Hey People.

I want to catch the numeric Keys. But it doesn't work.
Is it possible?
Whats stands for OEMExtensibility - Buttons in the Shortcuthandler?

regars, tronic

For numeric keys, you should be able to just use a KeyHandler. Just make sure it's set to use "Bubbled" as it's HandlerStage property.

The only time this won't work is if you have a TypingHandler in the way - a TypingHandler will eat most keystrokes so your KeyHandlers won't get them.

I think that the OEMExtensibility "buttons" in the ShortcutHandler are for OEMs who are creating their own USB connected hardware - they can cause the hardware to trigger an OEMExtensibility1 shortcut which can then be trapped in Media Center.  It isn't something that is sent to Media Center by anything other than a USB HID device.

Cheers,
