Keystroke via FSUIPC & wide FS

[Renaud Emont]

Hi everyone and happy new year !

I began 2005 whith this interesting question :
How to send keystroke via network to FS ? I use PM airbus set, FSUIPC and
wide FS. Keystroke will be generated on a computer handling EPIC cards and
FSCommunicator. I want FS2004 to received it on another computer(for IVAP
squawck activation).
How to ?

Thanks.

WideClient has a facility to send all keystrokes it receives to FS -- just
one line in the WideClient.ini file is needed (check the Doc). However, for
it to work, WideClient must have the focus.

The only alternative I know of is to write detailed key message data to
offsets 3200-320B. This actually produces the Windows KEY messages which affect
FS.

Thanks for the answer. I will use FSUIPC offset 3200. But I don't understand
a word of how to do it ...
3200 message (WM_KEYDOWN or WM_KEYUP)
3204 wParam for the message
3208 lParam for the message
All 12 bytes must be written in one IPC write.
What does this mean ?
Can you explain me how to make a "C" keysent to FSUIPC ?

What language are you programming this in? I can point you to the Microsoft
C/C++ documentation for the WM_KEYDOWN and WM_KEYUP messages. I don't have
any myself, it is all standard programming. Don't you have any references
their for your language?

I'm using FSCommunicator to talk to FSUIPC. My hardware is EPIC cards.

I'd like to press a button in my system, make an EPL code (EPIC language)
that send a nqw command for FScommunicator. The value of the nqw command will
be sent to FSUIPC offset by FSCommunicator.

So what I want is a value that I can sent to the FSUIPC offset.

How can I do ?
