wireless buzzers
Quote from mbpitt on June 13, 2020, 11:07 amI know that I have probably asked this question before, but...
I have some wireless quiz night buzzers and each buzzer is keymapped.
Each keymap is a combination of a hast and a number eg - #191
Is there a way that I can add multiple characters as a short cut key?
Thanks guys

Is there a way that I can add multiple characters as a short cut key?Assuming that you have been successful in mapping/binding one of the buzzers to a PushButton ... or Picture Tool ... you could (as an alternative) ...
- map each buzzer to a different PushButton/Picture
- have the click events of each of these Tools do a GoSub "commonSubroutine"... same end result ... side benefit: your subroutine could be passed information about which exact buzzer initiated this event.

Simply produced a button and was hoping that I could enter #191 in the Pushbutton properties Short Cut Key so that when buzzer number one is pressed (which has a pre-determined map of #191), the button would depress

Try one/more of these ...
1) for the shortcut key enter [#191]
2) this page has a list of key codes ... https://keycode.info/ ... forward slash corresponds with 191 ... so try and enter forward slash as the shortcut
3) make a Text Entry Box ... then, at run time ...
a) make sure this box has Focus (just click inside this Box so you can see the blinking vertical bar in it)
b) press your buzzer and see if anything is deposited in the Text Entry Box ... if it is, post the text (or an image of it) here

dont fully understand the above.....
Do i go to the keycode web site and just enter #?
not sure what the website thing is for?.........do i have to type something and then copy something?Sorry, this website uses the same website address for different parts of the page.
There is a button/link on the top right corner of the page that says Table ... when you click on it, it will take you to the part where they tell you what the key codes for each key on the keyboard are ... since your Buzzer software talks about key codes, I thought that you might be able to use (e.g.) the forward slash for the key code of 191 ... and then other letters/numbers/punctuation for other key codes.
BTW, suggestion number 2 was in case VisualNEOWin did not accept [ #191 ] as a shortcut (or it did not work when you clicked your buzzer).
If suggestion number 2 does not work, try number 3.
The website of your Buzzer company no longer opens ... is the company still in business ? ... can you navigate to their website ?

It was the saoftware company that told me a few years ago that each button is
#191 this is for buzzer 1
#192 this is for buzzer 2
#193 this is for buzzer 3
and so on to...
#210

In your other post, you mentioned that the code was being passed through to notepad.
So that tells you that the code (what ever it is) is just NOT being passed through to the VisualNEOWin App ... or that it is discarding such irregular key codes.

Unless this company can provide more details (perhaps the source code of a sample program that works), there is very little one can do (without access to the hardware).

did you receive the demo version of the software?
No, I did not.
Not knowing what it is/does, I will not risk installing it on my machine ... but if the package contains technical information about using it with 'other programs', I will be happy to read it.
