Feeling like a dummyCant get it to work....Trying to get BUTTON one to send the HOLD RCTL command - but wont work Anyone here have any ideas??Using CH's CONTROL MANAGER.... but cant get it to work....Richard GreenVATUSA4Events and VA Director

Have you tried just programming RCTL (without the HOLD)?. HOLD should really only be needed if there are multiple keys involved and you want to hold them all down at once. For a single key, it should end up being held for as long as the button is down anyway.- BobThe StickWorkshttp://www.stickworks.com

Bob - I am able to program all keys but ctrl keys - for some reason...the OTHER PROBLEM NOW - is that it doest REMEMBER the settings.... after a rebootRichard GreenVATUSA4Events and VA Director

Wold help to LOAD CHSTART I guess:)Now if I can only figure out RCTL Richard GreenVATUSA4Events and VA Director

>> Wold help to LOAD CHSTART I guess <. The program is loaded, actually, but it's a disaster trying to enable it during the boot process and MS (in it's infinite wisdom) provides no way to know that the boot process is complete. Running the little app at startup is the only way to do it reliably.>> Now if I can only figure out RCTL <http://www.stickworks.com

Bob - thanks for all of your help....I am trying to run Roger Wilco - and fly - using my BUTTON 1 on the yoke as a hotswitch for RWKP0 works just fine.... but cant get RCTL to work or LCTL for that matter....at a straight desktop - it foesnt work before I have loaded anthing.....want my MAP file maybe shed some light on the mystery??

Did some more research.....I mapped the button to my BUTTON 10and if I go into notepad - and hit the buttonI get the same effect if I hit either CTRL button ( first letter of each menu higlights.... strangewonder if HID sees no diff tween LEFT and RIGHT CTRL ?Richard GreenVATUSA4Events and VA Director

There's a definite difference in the keys. The LCTL sends just a "1D" make and a "9D" break. RCTL prefixes those with "E0", i.e. "E0 1D" and "E0 9D". I suspect that what you see in the NotePad menu is probably just a result of Windows not caring which CTL key you use.Are you saying that you can program KP0 to the button and it works okay? Do you know of anyone using a USB keyboard and getting RCTL (or any key) to work in R/W directly from the keyboard itself?- BobThe StickWorkshttp://www.stickworks.com

I can :)got a LOGITECH USB keybaord - not sure of the model - its got 3 hotbuttons for www, mail and serach engine buttonsRichard GreenVATUSA4Events and VA Director

Well, the CM should work if the USB keyboard works, I'm not sure what the problem might be. Something in the keyboard packet that the CM sends that R/W doesn't like I guess. If you want to try to figure out what, drop me a note (sticky at stickworks dot com). I can set up a filter for you that will show us what the Logitech sends and we can compare it with what the CM sends, see what the difference is.- BobThe StickWorkshttp://www.stickworks.com

For any of you who may have been watching this thread, the problem turned out to be a misassignment of the key names in the Control Manager. Programming "RCTL" actually sends "RALT", and programming "RALT" send "RCTL". Until the next update becomes available, you can work around it by just programming RALT when you want RCTL and vice-versa.- BobThe StickWorkshttp://www.stickworks.com
