Hi Don: Perhaps a couple of entries in the confignames.ini file will help you. It sounds to me like you are saying, that each of these windows is associated with a different application file or resource. If this is the case, you can specify an entry in the confignames.ini file for each of these resources. so for instance, you could create the following entries for this application; _wingdi=DirectTV quartz=DirectTV Now you can create a script file called DirectTV.jss and create scripts for the various hotkeys. For your purposes, you could create a global variable to store the handle for the main window. You could set this variable when the application first gains focus. AutoStartEvent would probably be a good place to do this. In each of your hotkey scripts you could then use SetFocus to temperarily set the focus to the main window and then perform the appropriate keystroke.

DirecTV has an application that runs on your PC and lets you watch programs recorded on their R22 DVR. The problem I am having is that the main screen is like Windows Media Center and uses the full screen. When viewing a recorded show in standard definition (SD), a separate window appears in front that contains the video. This window owner is quartz.dll. Unfortunately, the audio and hotkeys for playback control are only available when the main window, _wingdi.exe, is in the foreground! Is there a way to write scripts for quartz.dll that can pass keystrokes like Control +p to pause the show to the main window, _wingdi.exe?
