Yes you can.

This can be done with a multicommand, the first set in the command checks to see if the program is already open by checking for it's window id for example. If tghe check is negitive then it loads your DVD software.

The second part of the command is the play button which it passes if the check for the DVD software window is positive.

Since I am at work this now I cant do it for you here, if you still have problems then post a reply and I will see what I can do.

Yes you do need to use states.

You would have a 1 multicommand with 2 states
one for true and one for false depending it window detected, these would then jump to another command like power or play

Hope you understand what I am trying to describe.

I will try and remember tonight and post it here for you OK.

Hi!

Is it possible to use the play-button of my remote to launch i.e. WinDVD and THEN use it the normal way (as Play Button).


TIA.

Thanks for you reply!

Are you sure that I can use a multicommand? I tried that before but all commands within the multicommand are executed no matter if the window exists or not. Do I have to use states?
