Keyboard events without focus
Hi folks, ;-)

is ist possible to bind a keyboard event to a Ventuz presentation without having the focus on it?

For example if i have a presentation running in the background in 'Virtual Fullscreen' mode and change the focus to another window lying in front of the presentation. Would Ventuz register the keyboard events, although not having the focus?

Is there a trick to make this possible?


Thanks for your answers and regards from Germany,
Peter

Hi Peter,
this is possible if you use the DirectInput Key Node. It registers all keyboard events regardsless which application has the focus.
But this Node is not available in the Ventuz Basic Edition!

Best Regards
karol
