EventCodes for pound and star

[jsonnabend]

I looked but can't seem to find event codes for the pound and star keys. Can someone point me in the right direction?

TIA

Not sure what you are exactly needing. Are you looking for set up the # and * buttons to do something in Sage, or to actually send a # or * in a sendmessage.

This is what I have this in my irremote.ini

TEXT={findwnd(SageApp,SageWin)}{SendMsg(1258,0,24)}
SUBCC={findwnd(SageApp,SageWin)}{sendMsg(1258,0,27)}

The TEXT line corresponds to the * key on the hauppauge remote and the SUBCC line corresponds to the # key. I have TEXT linked to INFO, and SUBCC linked to full screen/windowed.

I didn't see any info in the Sage manual about any event codes for # and *.

Thanks for the info. I'm trying to send # and * from Girder. I see event codes for Num 0 through Num 9, but not for # and *. Does Sage not use these two keys?

OK, did a little more digging. when Sage updates the irremote.ini for a hauppauge remote, it sets up the following lines:

TEXT={subtract}
SUBCC={ctrl}{shift}c

If * = "-", then it looks like you could use event code 95 if you are trying to use the * to do a ATSC subchannel.

Now, for the #, I dunno what "{ctrl}{shift}c" does so I can't help you on that one. What do you need # for in Sage?

You could always send in a support request to see if there are any event codes that haven't been documented yet.

All commands are listed at the end of chapter 5 in the manual and in Detailed Setup -> Commands -> Link Command (v6 displays the command number for each command).

Ah, ok, I got it. I confused "event codes" with "default keystroke", which happen to be the same for the number pads. Since there's no "#" or "*" default keystroke, it's up to me to map the remote buttons to whatever event codes I want.

Thanks for pointing me to chapter 5, and sorry about the confused question.
