HTTP API Window Commands?

BigNoseJr · 2008-12-16 03:26

Are the window id definitions in Key.h accessible to call via the http api? I took a guess at a few possibilities but had no luck getting them to work. If not, any chance it can be added to feature requests?

What are you wanting to do exactly? The window id's are only useful as far as your concerned to activate the window. Given that you can do that using the window name instead, which is far more readable, most people use that.

I was hoping to have direct button presses on a remote change the onscreen ui to the corresponding page.

home
videos
music
pictures
weather
settings
etc

I see how I can accomplish this now from what you said using ExecBuiltIn(function) under List_of_Built_In_Functions.

Thanks

Just use ActivateWindow(Home) and so on.
