The Media Center Sandbox

Hi,

I am trying to intercept the MCE remote messages and, depending on my programs needs, stop them reaching Media Center or allow them, at my choice.

I have successfully built a .net app that sees all keypresses (when it has the focus)...but I can't seem to "eat" the messages at all!

For example, if I click "Recorded TV", my application is regfistered for and sees the message, but even if i skip passing the message onto the base wndproc, Media Center still auto-launches and navigates to Recorded TV (or just navigates there if already open).

Does anyone know how I stop the message getting to and being acted on by Media Center?

Thanks.

How are you currently intercepting the messages?

Cheers,
Andrew

first, I'm registering for WM_APPCOMMAND and WM_INPUT messages from the remote device class then I'm using an override of wndproc and processing the message.
I've tried NOT pushing the message to mybase, but that seems to have no effect on Media center picking up the darn message!

So you're using the RawInput API?
